MacBook Pro 13 Touch Bar (2016) vs MacBook Pro 15 (2015)

The i7-4870HQ (4c/8t) in the 15-inch 2015 model outperforms the i5-6267U (2c/4t) in the 13-inch 2016 model, and the AMD Radeon R9 M370X (2GB GDDR5) delivers far stronger GPU performance than Intel Iris Graphics 550, though the 15-inch model has a fan and runs hotter under load. The 13-inch 2016 MacBook Pro suits coders needing portability and 8GB RAM for light development, with 4 Thunderbolt 3 ports for dual 4K displays and 10.5 hours of real-world battery life. The 15-inch 2015 model fits video editors requiring 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and the M370X GPU for 4K rendering, plus an SD card reader and HDMI for direct output. In UAE at AED 1849 vs AED 1299, the 15-inch wins because it offers double the RAM and a dedicated GPU for ₹5500 less; in India at ₹44900 vs ₹29900, the 15-inch wins on value because it provides 8GB more RAM and a discrete GPU at 33% lower cost.
