MacBook Pro 15 Touch Bar (2016)
The MacBook Pro 15 2016 wins on performance with its i7-6820HQ (4c/8t, 2.7–3.6 GHz) and AMD Radeon Pro 455 (2GB GDDR5) versus the MacBook Air’s i7-5650U (2c/4t, 2.2–3.2 GHz) and Intel HD 6000. The MacBook Air, fanless and weighing 1.365 kg, suits students and travelers needing 12+ hours of battery life for web browsing and light office work. The MacBook Pro, with 16GB RAM and 4 Thunderbolt ports, is for video editors running Final Cut Pro with 4K timelines or developers using Docker and VMs requiring sustained multi-core throughput. In UAE at AED 899 vs AED 999, the MacBook Air is better because it saves AED 100 with 8GB RAM sufficient for daily tasks. In India at ₹20900 vs ₹22900, the MacBook Air wins on value because the ₹2000 difference doesn’t justify the Pro’s extra weight and heat under load.
