Gadget freaks have been talking about the big releases of Apple and Microsoft since the announcement of their products. Microsoft Surface Book 2 and MacBook Pro 2016 will be released around the same time and the tech fans cannot help but compare the two, weighing which one is better.
Both Surface Book 2 and MacBook Pro 2016 will have a slimmer look than their predecessors. This time, MacBook Pro will be having a removable display. Similarly, Surface Book 2 can be shaped easily into a laptop or tablet owing to different usages. This feature was already present in the Surface Book 1 that Microsoft has planned to continue.
Both the notebooks seem to have notable differences but before we get into the details, Paklap.pk would like to break the bubble by saying that "Microsoft Surface Book Pro is a better option than Apple Macbook Pro 2016". Let us see why!
Reason 1: One major difference is the processor used in the products
Apple MacBook Pro 2016 will feature Intel 6th generation chip, the Intel dual Core M. This chip will be able to last the battery for up to 10 hours. In contrast to this, Microsoft Surface Book 2 will be coming with Intel 7th generation chip, the Intel Core i5 and Core i7 CPUs, mostly known as the Kaby Lake series. This distinguishable upgrade can run the battery for 14 hours straight. This leads us to know that Microsoft’s Surface Book 2 clearly has a big advantage over Apple’s MacBook Pro 2016.
Reason 2: USB-C Port
The Surface Book 2 will also be having a USB-C Port. It has also boosted up its performance level by featuring a 4K display resolution and a camera of 8 megapixels.
Reason 3: Microsoft Surface Book 2 gets an edge
Both the notebooks by Apple and Microsoft have worked on making their visual output better, even when none of them claims to be a gaming laptop. Microsoft Surface book 2 again gets an edge as it has NVIDIA graphics card for top-notch graphical output. Apple too has upgraded the MacBook Pro with the provision of graphic processor for better gaming results. The powerful visual result will be provided by AMD's Polaris 11 GPU.
Reason 4: Expensive but gives value for money
From the reports being received, we can safely say that Surface Book 2 will be more expensive than MacBook Pro 2016. But it can be justified with the notable upgrades and great features. Surface Book 2 has different prices for its two versions. The basic 8GB RAM version is cheaper than the version that has 1TB of storage, 16 GB of RAM, i7 for the processor and high-level graphic card. On the other hand, MacBook Pro 2016 also has varying prices for 13-inch and 15-inch versions.
Concluding all the upgrades, features and rumors, Microsoft Surface Book 2 is clearly winning over Apple MacBook Pro 2016. Even though both the notebooks have not been launched yet, the tech fans have been looking forward to these two particular notebooks for a long time. This is why the comparison between the two powerful notebooks is a trending topic. However, we will only get to know for sure who wins the race once both of the products hit the market. So, hold your breath Paklappers and wait!
