The Apple MacBook Pro 13 2017 (MacBook Pro 13 2017 Series) 1TB / 16GB is Samsung'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 1,099 in the UAE and ₹27,900 in India, it sits firmly in the budget 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 1TB SSD. The 54.5Wh battery sustains 8–9 hours of mixed use, outlasting most Windows ultrabooks. It excels for writers, students, and remote workers needing macOS stability and a responsive keyboard. The Thunderbolt 3 ports enable fast external storage and display expansion. Its weakness is thermal throttling under sustained loads—the Iris Plus 640, while capable for casual graphics, cannot maintain high frame rates in prolonged video rendering or gaming. At AED 1099 in UAE, it’s good value because you get a durable, repairable machine with a decade-old but still functional macOS ecosystem. In India at ₹27900, it’s overpriced; newer Ryzen 5 or M1-based alternatives offer better performance and efficiency for the same cost.
