The Apple MacBook Pro 13 2017 (MacBook Pro 13 2017 Series) 1TB / 36GB 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 2,399 in the UAE and ₹59,900 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 reliable multi-threaded performance for light creative work, thanks to its dual-channel LPDDR3-2133 RAM and efficient Kaby Lake architecture. The 54.5Wh battery sustains 8–9 hours of mixed use, outlasting most Windows rivals. Its two Thunderbolt 3 ports enable fast external storage and display daisy-chaining. However, thermal throttling kicks in after 15 minutes of sustained CPU load, limiting prolonged rendering or compilation tasks. Storage speed is capped by an older SATA-based SSD, not NVMe. In UAE at AED 2399, it’s good value because it runs macOS Sierra smoothly and remains usable for office tasks and media playback. In India at ₹59900, it’s overpriced—new M1 MacBooks offer 3x the performance at similar cost, and this model lacks future-proofing, repairability, or software support beyond 2025.
