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 Radeon Pro 460 (4GB VRAM) versus the 13-inch’s i5-7360U (2c/4t) and Intel Iris Plus 640. The 13-inch model is fanless under light loads but throttles under sustained workloads, while the 15-inch’s active cooling handles video editing and light gaming better. Buy the 13-inch if you need 10.5 hours of battery life and portability under 1.37 kg for coding or document work with 8GB RAM. Buy the 15-inch if you need 16GB RAM and 4GB discrete GPU for rendering 4K video or running Photoshop with multiple layers. In UAE at AED 1899 vs AED 2399, the 15-inch is better because it offers 8GB more RAM and a dedicated GPU for ₹5000 less. In India at ₹48900 vs ₹59900, the 15-inch wins on value because it delivers 2x the GPU power and 50% more RAM for 18% lower price.
