The MacBook Pro 15 2019 with i9-9980HK (8c/16t) and Radeon Pro Vega 20 (4GB HBM2) crushes the 13-inch 2017’s i5-7360U (2c/4t) and Iris Plus 640 in raw CPU and GPU power. The 13-inch 2017 model suits writers or light coders who need 10+ hours of battery life on a 1.37kg fanless chassis with 1TB storage for local files.

In UAE at AED 2299 vs AED 2399, the 15-inch wins because it delivers 8-core performance for ₹1000 less; in India at ₹49900 vs ₹59900, the 15-inch wins on value because its i9-9980HK and 32GB RAM offer 4x more cores and 4x more RAM than the 13-inch for ₹10,000 less.
