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

The 15-inch 2015 model wins on GPU performance with its AMD Radeon R9 M370X (2GB GDDR5) versus the 13-inch’s Intel Iris Graphics 550, and its i7-4870HQ (4c/8t) outperforms the i5-6267U (2c/4t) in multi-threaded workloads. The 13-inch model is better for portability and all-day use—its 49.2 Wh battery lasts ~10 hours on light tasks, weighs 1.358 kg, and runs fanless under light loads. The 15-inch model suits video editors and coders needing 16GB RAM, dual-channel DDR3L, and HDMI/SD card ports for external workflows, despite its 2.04 kg weight and 100 Wh battery offering ~6 hours runtime. In UAE at AED 849 vs AED 899, the 13-inch is better because it’s lighter and fanless; in India at ₹18900 vs ₹19900, the 13-inch wins on value because it saves ₹1000 while offering longer battery life and better portability.
