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

The i9-8950HK (6c/12t, up to 4.8 GHz) and Radeon Pro Vega 20 in the 2018 model outperform the i7-6920HQ (4c/8t, up to 3.8 GHz) and Radeon Pro 460 in the 2016 model, delivering significantly higher multi-core throughput and faster GPU rendering. The 2016 model suits light video editors editing 1080p footage with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD, but struggles with 4K timelines due to slower storage and older GPU. The 2018 model is for professional video editors and 3D artists needing 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and Vega 20’s HBM2 memory for smooth 4K/8K timelines and GPU-accelerated effects. In UAE at AED 1499 vs AED 1599, the 2018 model is better because it doubles RAM and storage for just AED 100 more. In India at ₹37900 vs ₹40900, the 2018 model wins on value because 32GB RAM and 1TB storage justify the ₹3000 premium for professional workloads.
