MacBook Pro 2016 and Microsoft Surface Book i7 are both competing in terms of innovative features. The two laptops are currently trying to pull everyone towards MacOS and Windows respectively, and claim the bigger sales in the laptop market.
The MacBook Pro 2016 is thinner and lighter compared to the previous models, with its all-metal body keeping the stylish and sleek appearance. On the other hand, the Microsoft Surface i7 is reported to keep the standard design and the slightly divisive joint. The new laptop comes in a magnesium alloy body, along with a screen that could separate from the body and function as a tablet.
MacBook Pro 2016 is equipped with a more efficient and faster processor, with faster RAM, AMD Pro graphics cards and up to 2TB of storage for the 15-inch models, while the 13-inch version will be powered by Intel Iris Graphics. The new MacBook Pro is also reported to come with 10 hours of battery life. On the other hand, Surface Book i7 has 8GB of RAM and Intel Core i7 processor in quad-core configuration. The device ensures between 12 to 16 hours of battery life.
The MacBook Pro 2016 price begins at $1,499 for variants without the Touch Bar features, while $1,799 is offered for those who want to experience the new features and a 13.3-inch display with Core i5 CPU, 256GB SSD and 8GB of RAM. Moreover, the 15-inch laptop with Core i7 CPU, Radeon Pro 450 graphics and 6GB of RAM is priced at $2,399. Meantime, Surface Book costs $1,349 for the Core i5 CPU variant, while the i7 variant is priced at $2,399, according to report.
Meanwhile, the new MacBook Pro 2016 is believed to be not designed for professional use. The said backlash from the Mac users that have reportedly emerged as the new laptop is being launched is unusual, creating more noise about the absence of the headphone jack from iPhone 7. In addition, the Mac community also believes that the specs are underwhelming, including use of AMD Radeon graphics instead of the Nvidia Pascal chips, The Verge reported.
