The MacBook Pro with Retina display tops out at 10 hours.īoth of these figures are from the companies though, so until they're tested in real world conditions we're taking them with a pinch of salt. READ: MacBook Pro 13-inch with Retina display (early 2015) review: May the Force be with you Surface Book has a longer battery lifeĪccording to specs Microsoft has managed to eek out more battery life from the Surface Book with a 12 hour life. This is an Nvidia GeForce processor with 1GB of GDDR5 memory. While the tablet part of the Surface Book is limited to the Intel HD Graphic 520, there is a separate GPU in the keyboard section. The 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display comes with Intel's onboard Iris Graphics 6100. But it's the graphical power that offers variation. Both top out at 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of SSD storage. Surface Book appears more powerfulīoth the Surface Book and the MacBook Pro with Retina display offer sixth-gen Intel Core i5 and i7 chips. But it remains lighter at 1.51kg compared to Apple's 1.58kg - not much in it there then. But this has meant a slight increase in thickness to nearly 23mm when closed. The MacBook Pro with Retina display is just 18mm thick in spite of cramming in plenty of power and using an all metal chassis.īy comparison the Surface Book, also all metal, offers a detachable screen that doubles as a tablet. Surface Book is detachable and lighter but thicker The MacBook Pro with Retina display does not offer a touchscreen and Apple keeps numbers quiet and simply says it has a "high contrast ratio". Microsoft also uses its new PixelSense technology which essentially means a very thin, closely bonded, glass screen for super responsive touch and stylus controls. The result is a 100 per cent sRGB colour representation and 1800:1 contrast ratio and low glare. But in this area Microsoft has continued to focus its production. Of course a screen is more than just resolution. While Apple's 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display offers an impressive 2,560 x 1,600 resolution for 232ppi, the 13.5-inch Surface Book crams in a 3,000 x 2,000 resolution for 267ppi. Microsoft has crammed as many pixels as it could manage into that 13.5-inch display. So which is better, the Microsoft Surface Book or the Apple MacBook Pro with Retina display? Surface Book has a larger, higher resolution display We've delved into the specs to check just how close these two laptops come to each other. The Surface Book, on paper, may be the best laptop out there. But has Microsoft managed to swoop in and deliver an even better machine? The Apple MacBook Pro with Retina display is the company's most powerful laptop creation, aimed at power users.
Apple may have something to say about that. (Pocket-lint) - Microsoft says that its first ever laptop, the Surface Book, is the most powerful 13-inch laptop ever made.
