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

The MacBook Pro 13 2015 wins on GPU performance with Intel Iris Graphics 6100 (1050 MHz) vs. the Air’s Intel HD 6000 (1000 MHz), but both are fanless and struggle under sustained loads. The MacBook Air (8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) suits light coders and students who need 12+ hours of battery life and 1.365 kg portability for daily campus use. The MacBook Pro (8GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 75 Wh battery) is better for video editors who need 1.5x longer runtime and dual Thunderbolt ports for external 4K displays, despite its heavier 1.58 kg weight. In UAE at AED 899 vs AED 749, the Pro is better because it offers 21 Wh more battery for 3+ hours extra usage; in India at ₹20900 vs ₹16900, the Pro wins on value because the 27% price gap is justified by superior thermal headroom and HDMI/Thunderbolt 2 ports.
