MacBook Pro 15 Touch Bar (2016)
The MacBook Pro 15 2016 (2.9 GHz, 460) wins on performance with its i7-6920HQ (3.8 GHz boost) and Radeon Pro 460 (4GB GDDR5 VRAM) versus the i7-6820HQ (3.6 GHz boost) and Radeon Pro 455 (2GB GDDR5 VRAM). The 2.7 GHz, 455 model suits light video editors needing 16GB RAM and 512GB storage for 1080p projects, but struggles with 4K timelines. The 2.9 GHz, 460 model is for professionals running Final Cut Pro with 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD, enabling smoother 4K editing and larger project buffers. In UAE at AED 999 vs AED 1049, the 2.9 GHz model is better because 4GB VRAM doubles render speed in After Effects; in India at ₹22900 vs ₹26900, the 2.9 GHz model loses on value because the ₹4000 premium doesn’t justify marginal gains for non-professional workloads.
