MacBook Pro 15 (2018)
The MacBook Pro 15 2018 wins with its i9-8950HK (6c/12t) and Radeon Pro Vega 20 (4GB HBM2) versus the 2016’s i7-6820HQ (4c/8t) and Radeon Pro 455 (2GB GDDR5), delivering 50% more GPU memory and 50% more CPU cores. Buy the 2018 model if you edit 4K video with Final Cut Pro—32GB RAM and Vega 20’s 4GB VRAM handle complex timelines smoothly, while the 83Wh battery lasts 8–9 hours. Choose the 2016 model if you need 1TB storage for large photo libraries and prioritize lower cost, despite its 16GB RAM and older Bluetooth 4.2 limiting modern peripherals. In UAE at AED 1799 vs AED 1399, the 2016 wins on value because it offers double the storage for AED 400 less; in India at ₹39900 vs ₹33900, the 2016 wins on value because the 6000-rupee gap is justified by 512GB less storage but identical RAM and port count.
