MacBook Air 13 (2015) vs MacBook Air 13 (2017)

The MJVG2D/BTO6 wins on CPU performance with its i7-5650U (3.2 GHz boost) versus the i5-5350U (2.9 GHz boost), and offers double the RAM at 24 GB versus 16 GB, enabling smoother multitasking with heavy apps. Buy the MJVG2D/BTO6 if you edit 4K video or run virtual machines—24 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD handle large files and multiple containers without swapping. Choose the 2017 model if you prioritize longer battery life in daily use—its 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD suffice for web, office, and light photo editing, and its lower price saves ₹3000 in India. In UAE at AED 1399 vs AED 1399, the MJVG2D/BTO6 is better because it doubles RAM and storage for the same price; in India at ₹34900 vs ₹31900, the 2017 model wins on value because ₹3000 savings offset its lower specs for non-professional work.
