The Apple MacBook Pro 13 2017 (MacBook Pro 13 2017 Series) 512GB / 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 799 in the UAE and ₹19,900 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 playback, aided by dual-channel 16GB LPDDR3-2133 RAM and a 54.5Wh battery offering 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 512GB SSD lacks PCIe speed, causing slow file transfers compared to modern NVMe drives, and the fanless design is misleading—this model has active cooling that can become audible under sustained load. In UAE at AED 799, it’s good value because you get a durable, macOS-compatible machine with ample RAM for basic workflows. In India at ₹19900, it’s overpriced—newer Ryzen or M1-based alternatives offer better performance, longer battery, and faster storage for similar cost.
