MacBook Pro 13 (2017) vs Notebook 9 Pro 13"

The MacBook Pro 13 2017 wins on CPU performance with its i5-7360U (2.3–3.6 GHz, Kaby Lake) versus the 2016’s i5-6267U (2.9–3.3 GHz, Skylake), offering higher turbo boost and better efficiency, though both are fanless and thermal throttle under sustained load.
