Display: The Best of Both!!!īoth these laptops feature exceptional displays. While even the Surface Laptop 3 is pretty fast, Apple is known for sourcing the best SSDs in the market and the MacBook Air doesn’t break the chain. However, it is the file retrieval speed that interests us the most.
The SSD allotment is way higher if you are considering the premium MacBook Air. However, we checked for processing speeds and found them to be comparable.

While the Iris plus GPU is also comparable, the M1’s octa-core graphics processing unit is worth the bucks and at par with an entry-level discrete GPU.Ĭoming to the system memory, both the flagships flaunt 16GB of high-speed RAM, with Surface Laptop 3 being a bit more power-efficient. The Surface Laptop 3 doesn’t lag behind the 2020 model though as the 10 th gen i7 processor boasts similar capabilities. Not just that, we tested every version there is, only to find the M1 variant as the clear winner in the 13-inch segment. If multi-core performances are considered, the M1 model assumes a benchmark score of 7302, which is significantly higher as compared to the 4878 exhibited by the concerned i7 processor. However, if we bring the octa-core, ARM-powered M1 model into the mix, Apple gets a pretty significant edge of the latter. The standard MacBook Air comes equipped with the Intel Core i7-1065G7 chipset, which is at par with the one offered by the Surface Laptop 3. Now that the pricing is out of the way, it is time to concentrate on the performances. The metal-chassis followed by a heft of close to 2.8 pounds seems at par with the MacBook Air. In comparison, the Surface Laptop 3 also throws in quite a few standout elements, including the large trackpad that trounces any 13-inch competitor. Not just that, we also liked the Force trackpad, which actually made navigation easier than ever. Coming to the heft, the Air weighs 2.80 pounds, which is quite acceptable for a 13-inch device.īesides, the MacBook houses the magic keyboard instead of the butterfly variant pertaining to the predecessors. Starting with the MacBook Air, the 2020 variant sports a thinner chassis. It is more than appropriate to talk about the aesthetics, especially when both the devices look as good as a modern-day laptop should be. So let us dig right into the comparison: Design: Brilliance Written all Over!! Plus, the MacBook Air has evolved over the ages and we shall be comparing the 2020 variant with Microsoft’s offering to keep the contest fair.
