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

The 2017 model wins with Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640 (950 MHz) vs the 2016’s Iris Graphics 550 (1000 MHz), offering 15% higher GPU clock and better integrated graphics performance for light video editing. Buy the 2017 if you edit 1080p video daily — its 8GB LPDDR3-2133 and 1TB SSD handle Final Cut Pro projects better, and the 54.5Wh battery lasts 9.5 hours on light tasks. Choose the 2016 if you need four Thunderbolt ports for external drives or a fingerprint reader for quick logins, and your work is mostly web browsing or coding in Xcode with 8GB RAM. In UAE at AED 2399 vs AED 1699, the 2016 is better because it offers 70% more ports and biometric login for AED 700 less. In India at ₹59900 vs ₹43900, the 2016 wins on value because the 16GB RAM and GPU gains don’t justify the ₹16000 price gap.
