Our Verdict

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

The MacBook Pro 15 2017 wins on performance with its Intel Core i7-7700HQ (4c/8t) and AMD Radeon Pro 555 (2GB GDDR5) versus the 13-inch’s Intel Iris Graphics 550 and dual-core i5-6267U. Buy the 15-inch if you edit 4K video or run GPU-heavy apps—its 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD handle large files better than the 13-inch’s 8GB RAM and same storage. The 13-inch suits travelers needing portability—1.358kg vs 1.83kg, 49.2Wh battery lasts ~8 hours on light tasks, and its smaller size fits tight bags. In UAE at AED 1799 vs AED 1699, the 13-inch is better because it’s AED 100 cheaper and still delivers full Thunderbolt 3 and macOS support; in India at ₹44900 vs ₹43900, the 13-inch wins on value because ₹1000 less saves money without sacrificing core functionality.
