MacBook Pro 15 Touch Bar (2016) vs Notebook 9 (2017) 13"

The MacBook Pro 15 2016 wins on performance with its Intel Core i7-6820HQ (4c/8t) and AMD Radeon Pro 455 (2GB GDDR5), outclassing the 13-inch’s Intel Iris Plus 640 and dual-core i5-7360U. Buy the 15-inch if you edit 4K video or run heavy apps — its 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD handle large files better, and the dedicated GPU accelerates rendering. Choose the 13-inch if portability matters — it weighs 1.37kg vs 1.83kg, lasts ~8 hours on light use, and fits easily in bags for daily commutes. In UAE at AED 1399 vs AED 1099, the 13-inch is better because it saves AED 300 while still delivering full-day battery and sufficient power for office work; in India at ₹33900 vs ₹27900, the 13-inch wins on value because it cuts ₹6000 off the price with only minor performance trade-offs.
