The Apple MacBook Pro 13 2017 (MacBook Pro 13 2017 Series) 1TB / 24GB is Apple's 2017 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 14.9 x 304.1 x 212.4 ( = 0.59 x 11.97 x 8.36 in) display, the Intel Core i5-7360U 2c/4t 2 x 2.3 - 3.6 GHz, Kaby Lake chipset. At AED 1,599 in the UAE and ₹39,900 in India, it sits firmly in the mid-range tier.
The 2017 MacBook Pro 13 with Intel Core i5-7360U and Intel Iris Plus 640 delivers quiet, efficient performance for light multitasking and media editing, thanks to its dual-channel LPDDR3-2133 RAM and 54.5Wh battery delivering up to 10 hours of real-world use. Its Thunderbolt 3 ports enable fast external storage and display connectivity, while the Retina display remains sharp for text and photo work. However, the 8GB RAM is a hard limit—modern browsers and apps strain it under load, and the 1TB SSD, while adequate, lacks PCIe speed of newer models. Thermals throttle the CPU under sustained workloads. In UAE at AED 1599, it’s good value because you get a durable, macOS-ready machine with reliable battery life for basic productivity. In India at ₹39900, it’s overpriced—newer Ryzen or M1 laptops offer double the performance and RAM for similar cost, making this a risky buy unless found under ₹30000.
