MacBook Pro 15 (2015) vs Notebook 9 (2017) 13"

The 15-inch 2015 MacBook Pro wins on raw performance with its i7-4870HQ (4c/8t) and Radeon R9 M370X (2GB GDDR5), outpacing the 13-inch 2017’s i5-7360U (2c/4t) and Intel Iris Plus 640 in multi-core tasks and GPU-heavy workloads. Buy the 15-inch model if you edit 4K video—16GB RAM and 512GB SSD handle large timelines better than the 13-inch’s 8GB RAM and 1TB storage, despite the latter’s higher capacity. Choose the 13-inch 2017 for portability: at 1.37kg and 8–9 hours of real-world use, it’s far easier to carry daily, and its Thunderbolt 3 ports support faster external drives. In UAE at AED 899 vs AED 1099, the 15-inch is better because it delivers 50% more CPU cores and a dedicated GPU for half the price. In India at ₹19900 vs ₹27900, the 15-inch wins on value because its professional-grade GPU and RAM are 30% cheaper despite superior specs.
