    The 2020 13" MacBook Pro has been updated with a few features like the new Magic Keyboard and more storage than before.
    The $1800 higher-end model also received 16GB of RAM at the base price and 10th-Gen chips from Intel.. and it comes with certain advantages over the base model.
    Now the Surface Laptop 3 features new 10th-Gen chips as well and a few other features that you don't get on the MacBook Pro.
    In this video, we compare basically everything about them to see which one is the better choice in 2020.

      The webcam test on all the latest MacBook Air and Pro videos I have seen, the sound seems a bit muffled or is it me? On this one the surface Pro sounded a lot richer... would need maybe more of an office like environment, because maybe the MacBooks are going intense on noise cancelling algorithms by default.

      Though touchscreen is a nice feature, if I'm choosing between an awesome trackpad and a touchscreen on any laptop, I will go for the trackpad every time. MacOS and Windows are just not designed for touch, just look at how small those icons are. What bug me the most are the poor ergonomics when reaching in mid air and how dirty the screen gets after a quick use. So unless these systems are well-optimized for touch or they figure out a way to improve ergonomics, I can only see myself using touchscreen because it looks "cool" at first and forget about it two days after.

    Mentioning the useless touchbar but not the touch display of the Surface Laptop with pen support that, while unable to comfortably write, is still useful for quick sketches, signing documents, etc...
    The difference in speaker quality is negligible at best and you mention the upper tier MacBook Pro as having improved ones... but the reality is that you have to pay extra to get those features, whereas the SL3 you get those at the base model.
    The camera is comparable on both, the Mac has better skin tones, but the mic on the Surface sounds louder a lot clearer.
    I commend Apple for finally admitting defeat with the Butterfly keyboards but this greedy tactic of leaving so many features out of the entry level Pro is regrettable. You get worse speakers, worse CPU performance, worse GPU performance, worse connectivity...
    You try to not be biased, but you just can't help it.

      I don't quite get how they are "leaving so many features out"? If you buy a more expensive laptop you're going to get a better laptop, that's just how it works. More money = better specs.

  • @duartesss
    @duartesss 4 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    Yesterday I went to a shop to see other things and find myself trying a Surface Laptop 3.
    The first thing I was surprised was with the Trackpad....in fact the Trackpads for Windows are indeed much better now...I was doing all the multi gestures I need and in a easy way...and even knows now a way to work with the Apple Magic Trackpad with Windows 10.
    The screen was not so nice like the one from the Macbook Pro (somehow reflective)...the same with the Keyboard (is good) but with the keys perhaps a little to much separated to my small hands.
    But has USB -A, even if only has and USB-C that is not Thunderbolt. Also has touch screen, what I will not use much, but is nice to sign documents or to draw something, Wifi 6 (the new Macbook still only with Wifi 5), and magnetic charging connector . And has Windows Hello that allows to login only by face reading.
    Also has the premium feeling of the Macbook. Also Windows 10 integrates better with my Android Phone with the Mobile Phone application..
    But was surprised me most was how super-fast is opening Word, Excel or Powerpoint!!! Was a blast! In the same shop we placed side by side a new Macbook Pro 2020 10th Gen and opened with it Pages, Numbers or Keynote, and was indeed, much slower! The same with Excel, Word and Powerpoint...
    My daughter and wife felt the same....And this was using the Surface with i5....
    If I purchase the i7 with the smaller SSD and after changed it to a bigger SSD (yes the user can change it), in the end will cost me much less some hundred euros...
    The only thing I will miss will be the super-fast (at least in my old Macbook Pro) video editing (just trim 1080p videos)...Windows 10 has the Photos application that is also fast editing those kinds of videos, but not allows for instance to remove a part from the middle of a video.

      not a realistic scenario in every day life... I have a Surface Book for 3 and a half years and I took it with me to 4 different countries and several different work environments (form small shops, to Oil Refineries) and while the glass screen is reflective, the Surface Book at least has a good enough brightness output (around 450 nits) which is more than the Surface Laptop, but still... the normal use for these machines is inside an office or at home 95% of the time.

      You think MacBook has low reflectivity screen, but guess what, 6 months into ownership, there will be permanent keyboard marks on that screen because the anti-reflection coating is soft and is corroded. I took mine to the apple store and the staff told me I got the mark because I was "putting it in my backpack" which "puts pressure on the laptop". They don't consider it a defect and won't fix it.

Secondly, I'm not sure where you got your screen protector but it seems weird to me that yours is a reflective one. Screen protector feels rough in the hand because it's more textured than a laptop screen. Thus when light hits on it, it will spread to different angles and lower the reflectivity.

No other laptop has a better speaker than a Macbook. The feel of uniformity you get from the keycaps when you lay your hands down on a Macbook keyboard takes time and is a quality control challenge, which Macbooks nail (not talking about the old butterfly keyboard). Macs also have the best IPS displays, the only missing thing being high refresh rate for obvious reasons.

Or copy files from my laptop to hard drive? 2) Battery - I use apps for work like Citrix Workspace which consumes a lot of battery overtime - which is best for battery? 3) Fan noise - my current MacBook barely ever has the fan on or I never hear it - as a youngster use to hate Windows went the fans went on - will the surface laptop be the same? 4) Browse and watch loads of movies etc - is surface capable of handling multiple tabs and apps running without issues and fan coming on loud or noticeable? My younger brother has a Honor AMD Ryzen 5 which is very good but have heard the fan noise a few times already . 5) startup time - are they both fast - I know my current MacBook is quick even if it’s 5 years old - will the surface laptop survive and be as fast 5 years down the line? I code in terminal too but happy to use Powershell..but need some feedback on the above.

Actually you can run Windows on the MBP smoothly 🤷🏻‍♂️ Any thoughts? Cheers.

    I really want to get the SL3, but the thing that is setting be back is the SSD form factor. Max here said that it is easy to replace on your own, but I've noticed that not a lot of M.2 2230 (the type that the surface uses) are on the market. When they are, they are more expensive and are in lower capacities. I live in Canada, so I'm not sure what the situation is for others. Opting for the higher end surface models would push the prices near the MBP's 10th gen version.

      it depends on your profession and the software related to it... you need to give more information to receive an educated opinion. Both devices are quite good, and similar in quality, but it is a personal preference when it comes to software use and Operating Systems...
      I am more of a Windows person and I have been using a Surface Book for the past 3.5 years... my wife has a Surface Laptop 2 and she is extremely happy with it. Her professional software uses are GIMP (or Photoshop), Office Suite (mostly Excel, Word), PDF editors and file management through file explorer and dropbox, as well as google suit of products.
      On the entertainment end, she enjoys Netflix and Spotify on the laptop, which sounds a lot louder than my Surface Book when doing those tasks away from a TV or external speakers.
      As for me, the Surface Book is more suited to image/video editing, illustration, 3D model creation, rendering and even gaming (though on my older device that's limited to older titles as well). The ability to detach the display is useful for drawing, sketching, taking hand written notes, comfortably watch youtube, netflix and reading articles in portrait orientation.
