Microsoft cites the Surface Book as a direct competitor to Apple's MacBook Pro. So now that both Companies have new models available, the decision is up to the end user: Windows or MacOS.
Microsoft trying to make this decision easier created a page in its official online shop, which displays the Surface Book next to a MacBook Pro.
The side-by-side comparison shows that the laptop with the Windows 10 it comes with a detachable touchscreen and has a discrete NVIDIA graphics processor, while Apple's model doesn't have them at all.
In addition, the Surface can be used with pen, but due to the lack of one screen touch, the MacBook Pro lags behind again.
Microsoft also points out that the Surface Book has a higher resolution (267 PPI versus 227 PPI on the MacBook), but also a better front camera. In addition, Surface has a back camera.
"It's easy to switch from Mac to Surface. The new Surface will work fine with iTunes, iCloud, and iPhone. "Many of the gestures, shortcuts and features are similar to what you already know," says Microsoft, trying to attract new customers.
It remains to be seen how many of Apple's customers will agree to switch laptop. Comparisons clearly show that Microsoft devices are much more powerful and offer better quality than the new generation MacBooks.
Of course, there are a lot of reliable computers out there, with much more profitable prices that have nothing to do with the latest models of the two companies.
