On the other hand, MacBook Pro 2016 will give you a battery back up of about 10 hours, continuing Apple’s apparent conservatism with batteries to this segment too. In terms of battery life, Microsoft Surface Book comes out as a winner with the company claiming it to offer about 12-14 hours of battery back up in a single recharge. One the other hand, MacBook Pro’s base model ships with 2.0GHz Core i5, with 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. The base model of Surface Book features 128GB SSD, 8GB RAM, and lower clocked Core i5 version. Of course you get different storage and RAM options with up to 16GB RAM and SSD starting at 128GB for Surface Book and 256GB for MacBook Pro. On the other hand, the 13-inch MacBook Pro comes with Intel Iris for 2D games, and the 15-inch featured AMD Radeon Pro for 3D titles. However, things change a little bit in the graphics department with the Surface Book with Performance Base sporting both Intel HD graphics and Nvidia GTX 965M graphics. Both of them come with 6th Gen Core i5 and i7 processors. When we dig a little inside, these notebooks don’t differ much. Moreover, the touch pad is now bigger and it includes the same touch sensitive sensation we saw in the previous generation and even in the new iPhone 7.

On the other hand, MacBook Pro has included the all new Touch Bar just above the keyboard which acts like a control center depending on what you are doing on your MacBook Pro. It also comes with Surface Pen which adds a lot more functionality to it. Microsoft Surface sports a touch screen PixelSense display which is detachable and can be used as a tablet. While MacBook Pro comes in two size variants, one with 13.3-inch display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 and one with 15.4-inch display with a resolution of 2880 x 1800 pixels.

The display on the Surface Book comes in at 13.5 inches only with a resolution of 3000 x 2000 pixels. Talking about the display, the Surface Book wins here with its better resolution and pixel per density even though Apple touts its retina display. No denying that MacBook Pro 2016 comes with a thinner design and also with 2 size variants but Surface Book is not left behind in this department. There are no compromises in terms of design on both sides.
