Apple MacBook Pro 2018 vs Microsoft Surface Book 2: head-to-head

One of the major differences between Surface Book and MacBook Pro is that Microsoft laptop has touchscreen that detaches.   The aluminium shell stands out, whether you go for the space grey or silver options, Apple does now seem to have fixed the problem of sticking keys..   MacBook Pro starts off with 13.3-inch model that gives you 2.3Ghz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage space.   Opt for the larger, more expensive 15.4-inch models, and the spec starts with 2.2Ghz hex-core Intel Core i7 processor, accompanied by 16GB of RAM and 256GB SSD drive.   At the maxed out model, there's 2.9Ghz hex-core Intel Core, 32GB of RAM, and up to 4TB of storage.   The 13.5-inch model starts with 2.5Ghz dual-core Intel Core i5 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage.   specs start with that 8th-generation 1.9GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage.   Surface Book 2, on the other hand, features two full-sized USB ports, one USB-C port, and reader, so you may have to use fewer dongles as you attach peripherals.   Trying to pick winner here seems unfair, and on one level picking between them could be as easy as deciding whether you Windows or macOS..   It's probably worth settling on the configuration you think you need and checking how prices match across the board if you're trying to weigh up Surface Book and MacBook Pros.   Read more
