The Apple MacBook Pro 15 2017 (2.8 GHz, 555) (MacBook Pro 15 2017 Series) 1TB / 36GB is Apple's 2017 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 16 x 349 x 241 ( = 0.63 x 13.74 x 9.49 in) display, the Intel Core i7-7700HQ 4c/8t 4 x 2.8 - 3.8 GHz, Kaby Lake chipset. At AED 2,599 in the UAE and ₹64,900 in India, it sits firmly in the mid-range tier.
The MacBook Pro 15 2017 excels with its Intel Core i7-7700HQ and AMD Radeon Pro 555 (2GB GDDR5), delivering reliable multi-core performance for light video rendering and CAD work, backed by 16GB LPDDR3-2133 dual-channel RAM. The 76Wh battery sustains 7–8 hours under moderate use, a rarity in its class. It suits developers running VMs, designers using Adobe Creative Suite, or engineers needing macOS-specific tools. Its weakness is thermal throttling: sustained GPU loads cause fan noise and clock drops, limiting prolonged 4K export or gaming. Storage is a 256GB SSD, not 1TB as listed—this is a critical misrepresentation. In UAE at AED 2599, it’s good value because you get a durable, well-built machine with macOS and four Thunderbolt ports for under $700. In India at ₹64900, it’s overpriced—new M1 Airs offer superior efficiency, speed, and 8GB RAM for ₹60000, making this 2017 model a risky buy despite its build.
