MacBook Air 13 (2015) vs MacBook Pro 13 (2015)

The MacBook Pro 13 2015 with Intel Iris Graphics 6100 (1050 MHz) outperforms the MacBook Air’s Intel HD 6000 (1000 MHz) in graphics, while its i5-5257U (2.7–3.1 GHz) has higher base clock than the Air’s i7-5650U (2.2–3.2 GHz), though both are dual-core; the Pro’s active cooling allows sustained performance, unlike the fanless Air. The MacBook Air suits students and travelers needing 12+ hours of battery life and 1.365 kg portability for web browsing and light office work. The MacBook Pro fits professionals needing HDMI output, 75 Wh battery for 8–9 hours of video editing, and dual Thunderbolt ports for external SSDs or displays. In UAE at AED 1399 vs AED 1649, the Air is better because it saves AED 250 with nearly identical storage and 3+ hours longer battery; in India at ₹34900 vs ₹39900, the Air wins on value because it offers 1TB storage and 8GB RAM for ₹5000 less despite weaker GPU.
