Our Verdict

MacBook Pro 13 (2017) vs Notebook 9 Pro 15"

The MacBook Pro 15 2016 wins on performance with its i7-6920HQ (4c/8t) and AMD Radeon Pro 460 (4GB VRAM) versus the 13-inch’s i5-7360U (2c/4t) and Intel Iris Plus 640, delivering 2.5x higher GPU performance for video rendering and light gaming. The 13-inch model suits writers or coders needing 1TB storage and 8GB RAM for light multitasking, with 10+ hours of battery life from its 54.5Wh pack and no fan noise. The 15-inch model targets video editors or developers running Docker, VMs, or Final Cut Pro who need 16GB RAM and the Radeon Pro 460’s dedicated VRAM for smoother exports and 4K playback. In UAE at AED 1499 vs AED 1599, the 15-inch wins because it offers 2x the GPU power for just AED 100 less; in India at ₹37900 vs ₹39900, the 15-inch wins on value because its 16GB RAM and discrete GPU deliver 40% more performance for ₹2000 less.
