Tencent Digital (Compiler: Mi Ke) Apple and Microsoft have just announced their latest flagship notebook 2016 MacBook Pro and Surface Book i7, and for those who are related to these two products, whoever is better, has become Very worth discussing.
First from Microsoft, although Microsoft had previously launched the Surface Book, but only the i5 processor version, this time Microsoft officially joined the i7 processor version for the Surface Book, it seems to be a full performance upgrade.
Just one day after Microsoft released the Surface Book i7, Apple also launched the 2016 MacBook Pro, and the release of the new MacBook Pro has attracted the attention of global users. Remember that Apple last updated its MacBook Pro product four years ago.
As the latest flagship notebook for both Apple and Microsoft, who is better, let us take a look.
design
Microsoft did not make any changes to the design of the Surface Book i7, basically continuing the previous style. However, taking into account the design of the Surface Book itself is extremely innovative, so no change has become a matter of reason.
This means that the Surface Book i7 also has a beautiful aluminum alloy body, curly split hinge design, and such a hinge design also increases the thickness and weight of the Surface Book i7. Now the Surface Book i7 weighs 1.65 kilograms, which is a lot heavier than the new 13-inch MacBook Pro.
By contrast, Apple has reduced the weight of the new MacBook Pro by a mere 1.36 kilograms, which is a lot lighter than the Microsoft Surface Book i7. At the same time the new MacBook Pro also uses a new design, in addition to all-metal body, the thickness is only 14.9 mm, which is much lighter than the 22.8 mm Surface Book i7, of course, the visual impact is also stronger.
In fact, the main reason that the Surface Book i7 is thicker than the new MacBook Pro is that it uses a separate screen and keyboard design, so the hinged, keyboard and other parts of the body have caused the body to become thicker. The thinness of the new MacBook Pro also benefits from its lack of a touch screen and top i7 processor. In short, the Surface Book i7 is thicker and dimmer than the MacBook Pro, but it is also very elegant.
screen
We compare the same 13-inch class here. The Surface Book i7's 13.5-inch is slightly larger than the 13.3-inch MacBook Pro, while the Surface Book i7's pixel is higher, reaching a staggering 3,000-by-2,000 pixels. , 13 inches after the resolution of the new MacBook Pro 2560 x 1600 pixels.
From the display effect, Surface Book i7's screen Adobe RGB color gamut coverage reached 67.6%, a contrast ratio of 1750:1, and this performance is higher than the MacBook Pro, the latter two parameters were 60% and 1000 respectively. :1, but the specific effect is still not available through the comparison of the world.
In terms of brightness, Apple said that the new MacBook Pro will have a 67% increase over previous products, while color gamut will also increase by 67%. At present, it is impossible to test the actual performance, but it is certain that there is indeed a slight improvement.
Of course, other screen features, Surface Book i7 also supports touch operation and Surface Pen stylus, the future will also support Surface Dial, so these features are MacBook Pro can not provide.
Performance and connectivity
Both notebooks offer high-end game performance versions, but all are limited to high-end versions, which cost more money.
The entry-level Surface Book i7 is equipped with an Intel quad-core i7 processor and 8GB of running memory. It is also equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 965M discrete graphics card. The graphics card is built into the keyboard and supports 190 million floating-point operations. This means that when you connect the Surface Book i7's screen and keyboard together, you can be quite capable of computing power.
The entry-level MacBook Pro also offers the Intel i5 processor, and the high-profile version uses the i7 processor. Both the i5 and i7 versions are dual-core configurations and are Skylake architectures, which are at the same level as the Surface Book. For memory, 8GB and 16GB versions are available.
The 13.3-inch MacBook Pro is only equipped with Intel Iris integrated graphics and has 64MB of eDRAM, so if you want the same discrete graphics as the Surface Book i7, then you have to select the 15-inch MacBook Pro.
Performance, it seems that the Surface Book i7 advantage is more obvious, of course, the premise is that both are 13-inch versions for comparison.
Interface, Surface Book i7 is equipped with two full-size USB 3.0 interface, card reader. The MacBook Pro is equipped with four USB-C standard Thunderbolt 3 interfaces, and is compatible with all functions such as Thunderbolt, USB, DisplayPort, HDMI, VGI, and charging.
However, this means that if you want to use your own USB interface accessory on your MacBook Pro, you'll have to purchase additional adapters.
system
Yes, both products carry the latest version of the system, MacBook Pro is macOS Sierra, and Surface Book i7 is Windows 10. These are two completely different systems and have just been updated with the latest version. Both have their own app store and are very good.
In Windows 10 we have the Cortana Voice Assistant, which allows you to search voices, browse files, and create documents with voice commands. If you are a Windows Phone user, then you can use it with a smartphone cross-platform.
Of course, the Siri voice assistant is also built in macOS Sierra, but the integration level is not too high at present, and there is no traditional Spotlight search.
The Windows system has a better optimization of the touch screen. It can be converted in the tablet mode and the notebook mode. Of course, it is not perfect for the time being.
The macOS is very good, provided you have a part of the iPhone. With a cross-platform operating experience, we can sync bookmarks on the iPad or iPhone to the Safari browser in the MacBook Pro. Windows 10 does not yet have such seamless cross-platform capabilities, but there are many ways to transfer data from smart phones to laptops.
But to say that the entire ecosystem is built, different users have different understandings. Generally speaking, the choice and advantages and disadvantages of the system between the MacBook Pro and the Surface Book i7 are based entirely on personal preferences and usage habits.
Whether the new Surface Book i7 will encounter previous system errors and blue screens is not yet clear. However, Microsoft will definitely fix it through system updates, so Windows 10 and macOS Sierra are also very reliable.
Input
Regardless of the system and the screen, the two devices differ greatly in the input method. Apple brought a new form of Touch Bar to the new MacBook Pro, which changed the way we used to use the notebook. To a certain extent, Touch Bar is more innovative than Microsoft, through the touch bar at the top of the keyboard. To achieve more operations.
Apple replaced the full physical function buttons with an OLED touch bar on the 2016 MacBook Pro. According to different applications and interfaces, the Touch Bar can display different control content. When a document is edited, it can display input suggestions, can display a preview of favorites and tags when browsing a web page, and can become a shortcut control bar of various tools when performing picture editing. In the future there will be more different ways of using it.
In the future, third-party apps will also integrate the functions of the Touch Bar. Developers can customize them according to their needs. More importantly, on the right side of the Touch Bar's power button, Apple also integrated Touch ID fingerprinting. That's right. In the future, users can authenticate with the MacBook Pro and pay online.
In contrast, the Surface Book i7 does not have fingerprint recognition, but it does support iris scanning. Of course, Surface Book i7's support for touch screens has more freedom than Apple's Touch Bar. We can use Surface Book i7 like a tablet.
Therefore, although there is a big difference between the two input methods, it is clear that Microsoft is more flexible and even includes the Surface Pen, which can graffiti and draw freely. Of course, in the basic mode, you can also use the touch screen and Surface Pen, but there will be some shaking.
There is also a way to input is the touchpad, the new MacBook Pro touchpad to further increase the area, and the use of Apple's latest Force Touch technology, can bring more accurate tactile feedback. Although it is not new technology, it has been improved a lot.
storage
Both the new MacBook Pro and Surface Book i7 offer 256GB/512GB/1TB capacity, while the 15-inch MacBook Pro even has 2TB of super-capacity SSD, which is very satisfying for high-end users.
However, it should be noted that Apple canceled the design of the reader on the new MacBook Pro, which may annoy some photographers.
to sum up
Before we can really compare the two notebooks together, no one can really say which is better. After all, these two products represent the highest level of notebook products currently on the market, the Surface Book i7 can be seen as an upgraded version of the Surface Book, and the MacBook Pro brings lighter and thinner new designs.
As for Touch Bar, is it a revolutionary innovation in input methods? At present, perhaps the Touch Bar is just an enhancement, but it will not change the way we use the notebook. Of course, the Surface Book i7's touch screen will only work in tablet mode.
The Surface Book i7 has a larger display performance than the 13.3-inch MacBook Pro with a removable display and a separate graphics card hidden in the keyboard. For designers, the new MacBook Pro is even more attractive. After all, from the perspective of brand value, Apple also has an inherent advantage over Microsoft.
However, for business users, Surface Book i7 is obviously more suitable for some, this is a pitch mobile portable, performance and design of Windows system representative products.
