Our Verdict

MacBook Pro 15 (2018) vs Notebook 9 Pro 13"

The MacBook Pro 15 2018 wins on performance with its i9-8950HK (6c/12t) and Radeon Pro Vega 20 (4GB HBM2) versus the 13-inch’s i5-6267U (2c/4t) and Intel Iris 550. Professionals running Final Cut Pro or compiling large codebases should choose the 15-inch for its 32GB RAM, 512GB SSD, and active cooling that sustains 4.8GHz boosts under load. The 13-inch model suits travelers needing portability under 1.36kg with 1TB storage for photo libraries, but its 8GB RAM and passive cooling throttle performance during prolonged tasks. In UAE at AED 1799 vs AED 1699, the 15-inch is better because it offers 4x the GPU memory and 4x the RAM for just AED 100 more. In India at ₹39900 vs ₹43900, the 15-inch wins on value because it delivers triple the CPU cores and 4x the VRAM for ₹4000 less.
