It’s like iPhone vs Galaxy. You can do in depth comparisons of the hardware, but ultimately, if you prefer the Mac OS, get the Mac. If you prefer Windows, get the Surface. Neither of them are bad devices even if they do have their minor flaws. Your level of comfort with a given OS is going to make the biggest difference.

I have a Surface Laptop 2. Unless the keyboard flex has gotten worse on the newer model, I really don’t think it’s that bad unless you’re consciously looking for it. That being said, had a metal option been available for the SL2 I would have definitely gotten that model just because I prefer the look. I was originally concerned that the alcantara fabric would get gross over time but it’s been over 2 years and my black model still looks like new.

Finally an objective comparison between the 2 platforms/laptops. I personally expect the i386 to become much more powerful in the future since Apple made more of a competition to both Intel and AMD (Same like when AMD came up with Ryzen, Intel had to push a bit instead of the shitty quad core CPUs for a decade). We need to keep in mind that the mac environment is kind of closed/specialized compared to Windows and Linus so its easy to optimize the SW based on the underlying platform, i386 platform is way more generic.

Very minor detail but I think it’s worth mentioning. Apple offers keyboards in different languages which may be important for someone who has to type in different languages a lot.

I have had my M1 Macbook air for about 2 months and absolutely love it. I think that thing that really makes me happy about Apple silicon moving forward is that the base, least expensive models are actually fast. My non-work laptop needs are totally met by the Macbook air. Work is different, I do need power for that but my university very kindly provided me with a heavier, hotter and louder 16" Intel laptop.

I agree with a lot of the comments, it all depends on which operating system you prefer. For me, I just trust macOS over Windows; in terms of reliability and support. Granted, I have never had an issue with a Windows device, however, I have never owned one long enough to find out. Moreover, I use an iPhone as my work device and take a bunch of pictures having the ability to use Airdrop, iMessage, Facetime, and some apps from the App store far outweighs what I can do on an Apple machine compared to a Windows device. I have tried the new Surface 4 laptop, and think that it's the most snappiest Surface Laptop. However at the end of the day for me, it is still a Windows machine and I have to find more workarounds with my workflows when using Windows. As I said, I agree with the previous comments mentioned, it all depends on the software you prefer.

A couple of things that are not entirely correct: drop in performance when unplugged it is not a "windows thing" but an "AMD thing". Windows gives you options to adjust performance when unplugged but AMD processors will slow down regardless of your settings. As for the screen, surface do not have a generic touch screen and it's not meant to be used with your fingers (even if you can). When used with the pen it gives you a similar experience to what you get from writing on your iPad... If that makes sense on that form factor, it's another story.

Competition is always good for us customers. I hope the next Surface Laptop can come at an even more competitive price as the Macbook Air can be found for $899 USD from their education store and even on Amazon or BestBuy sometimes. Cause if we've come to the point where the base model of an Apple is cheaper than the windows competitor's base model, most general consumers would go for the one that's more affordable after tax and that's become the base model Macbook Air somehow.

I just bought my wife the i5 Ice Blue Surface Laptop 4 yesterday. It was $979 at Best Buy and came with a 512GB SSD. It is nice and is very comparable to my M1 MBA. The screen, keyboard, and trackpad are excellent. The webcam and audio are above average too. I thought I would hate the alcantara but it is actually warm and comfortable. My verdict - I definitely could live with the SL4 but almost everything on the MBA is just a bit better. If you are exclusive to Windows, the SL4 is a great choice for most users. One other thing. Get the Intel version if you don’t want to see the drop in unplugged performance. For whatever reason, that is unique to AMD.

Which one wins on FOB? Frequency of Bugs - I made up an acronym specially for my experience with the Macbook Air M1 with 16GB RAM that I returned to the Apple Store yesterday. First-gen tech is always buggy. The keyboard on the Mac sporadically went bananas, e.g., populating the login password dialog without my even touching the keyboard, and moving at high speed through menus. Add miserably slow internet that I couldn't resolve by following the most recommended solutions. I really can't take time from work to be trotting back and forth to Apple and waiting for my main working computer to be fixed. I used the refund to buy a 2020 iPad Pro 11" instead, because iOS is solid, and iOS on new hardware ain't.

Unfortunately, Windows is never honest in terms of battery life claims. According to many reviewers, It can reach 11 to 12 hours for a real world usage, which is great, but is still much shorter than what they advertised. Apple's official data is more reliable here. 15 hrs for daily usage, or 18hrs for video playback, which match the tests done by tech reviewers.

There is a reason why 1.4b users (especially in business market) are using Windows which is about 87% of total market share of OS, and only 100 million users are MacOS (around 10% of market share). One of the reason is MacOS can ONLY be run smoothly in their own hardware because integration to multi-hardware is unable to Apple, since they want to sell everything but not sharing. On the other hand, Windows is able to do so so well, and that why Business/organization love itm since they can build their own hardware for security and replacement, and that why most of the market share belong to MS. So in general, for 10 tasks, MacOS can only do well in 2 tasks (mostly for content creators), and the rest is Windows. Don't need to mention Office, because Office in Mac is terrible since its MS though. About 4 million apps are running well on x86, but only about 30,000 apps running on MacOS say it all. So the right question is why people should switch from Windows to MacOS. It depends on what users want to use for.

That's why the debate about the M1 being more powerful is kinda stupid. Unless you use your laptop as a working machine it doesn't matter and it's only up to what you like more. Most people I know buying a Air or Pro Model don't even utilize it. Using it as a working machine Apple has an advantage tho with their Chips, because of lower power consumption (compared to others powerful laptops) and better compability (compared to the Pro X on ARM architecture)

The only reason I would buy the Surface 4 Ryzen is because after wiping out Windows, I could install any version of Linux (Ubuntu, Mint, Red Hat, etc). I don't have any use for Windows, except when I have to use a Windows-specific application, and in real life, that is NEVER, I have no Windows-specific application that I am interested in. In any case, the MBA is almost like Linux in many aspects abd for my specific needs, so whatever else doesn't matter to me. Plus the power consumption and no noise is superior to any Windows beast. Verdict: MBA 16/256 + 1TB external SSD.

There is no getting away from it, the MB Air kills the Ryzen Surface Laptop 4 in performance using them on battery. Anyone denying that is just kidding themselves. It is whether you need the performance in an ultrabook? My thoughts are that if there is no price premium then it is a no-brainer and that is why I would always choose the Macbook. If you needed Windows then I would likely not buy the Surface Laptop 4 as its performance is sacrificed for battery life and it is running last year's Ryzen 4000 series. The 5000 series coming to around 150 laptops in the next few months is not a giant leap but has up to 30% better single-core performance and an upgrade in the GPU. So paying what MS is asking which is probably higher than 5000 series R5 laptops is a bit of a tough buy unless you are a Surface superfan?

Yeah…I don’t think a touchscreen or price is going to persuade someone who likes macOS to get a surface laptop. Then again, I don’t think the M1 chip or battery life is going to persuade someone who hates macOS to get a MacBook. Lol. 90% of the decision is which OS you want then the rest of it is picking hardware. That said, windows 10 software features seem to have been abandoned. No real feature updates to mail, calendar, paint 3D, or any of the other native apps in years. Most of their native apps are janky and missing tons of features. macOS is first class with its software…as annoying as it can be to use.
