Notebook 9 Pro (2018)
The MacBook Pro 15 2018 wins on raw performance with its i9-8950HK (6c/12t) and Radeon Pro Vega 20 (4GB HBM2) versus the 13-inch’s i5-7360U (2c/4t) and Iris Plus 640, delivering 2.5x more CPU threads and 8x the VRAM. The 13-inch model suits light coders and writers who need 1TB storage for local files and 10+ hours of battery life on typical tasks, despite its 8GB RAM limit. The 15-inch model is for video editors and 3D artists needing 32GB RAM and Vega 20’s GPU to handle 4K timelines and rendering without throttling, despite its 4.03kg weight and active cooling. In UAE at AED 1099 vs AED 1199, the 13-inch is better because it offers double the storage for just AED 100 more. In India at ₹27900 vs ₹29900, the 13-inch wins on value because 1TB storage outweighs the 16GB RAM and Vega 20 upgrade for most local users.
