Specs comparison: Microsoft Surface Book 2 vs Apple’s MacBook Pro

Microsoft’s Surface Book 2 has been announced, and Microsoft is once more aiming for Apple’s customers. Just like the Surface Laptop and Surface Pro target the MacBook Air and MacBook, the Surface Book 2 is taking aim at the MacBook Pro. Microsoft says the Surface Book 2 is two times more powerful than the MacBook Pro, with 35% more pixels and 70% more battery life than Apple’s notebook, an interesting claim.

Power and longevity aside, it is also true that Microsoft’s Surface Book 2 is more versatile than the Apple Mac, with support for touch input and native accessories like the Surface Dial and Surface Pen. It still retains its 2 in one nature and can serve as a clipboard like a tablet for a brief period of time. Somehow, I suspect that the versatility would be a better selling point than a straight up spec battle for the most part.

Regardless, you can check out how the devices compare with each other specs wise from the table below. The specs below are for the base variants of both the devices, but you can checkout the full specsheet for the Surface Book 2 here. 

Microsoft’s Surface Book 2 starts from $1499 for the 12-inch version and $2499 for the larger version, it will be available from November 16 and you can pre-order it from Microsoft’s online store here.
