Our Verdict

MacBook Pro 15 (2019) vs Notebook 9 Pro 15"

The MacBook Pro 15 2019 with i9-9980HK (8c/16t) and Radeon Pro Vega 20 outperforms the 2016 model’s i7-6920HQ (4c/8t) and Radeon Pro 460 in CPU and GPU power, with 5.0 GHz turbo vs 3.8 GHz and HBM2 memory vs GDDR5. The 2019 model suits video editors needing 32GB RAM and faster rendering, while coders benefit from 8 cores handling Docker and VMs simultaneously. The 2016 model’s 1TB SSD and 16GB RAM suit users needing more storage for photo libraries or large datasets without demanding heavy multitasking. In UAE at AED 2299 vs AED 1899, the 2016 model is better because it offers 512GB more storage for just AED 400 extra; in India at ₹49900 vs ₹48900, the 2016 model wins on value because 1TB storage and 16GB RAM deliver more usable capacity for ₹1000 less despite weaker CPU/GPU.
