Microsoft yesterday shared a new YouTube ad titled “Microsoft Surface Pro 7: The Best Choice,” in which the company compares its tablet to Apple’s 13-inch MacBook Pro M1, as spotted MSPoweruser.
The ad highlights the Surface Pro 7’s touchscreen and included stylus, as opposed to just a “little bar” (the touch bar) on the MacBook Pro. Other benefits of the Surface Pro 7 mentioned in the ad include the removable keyboard, a cheaper price tag, and the claim that the tablet is “a much better gaming device” than the MacBook Pro.
Results uploaded to Geekbench show that the Surface Pro 7 equipped with Intel Core i3 with 4GB of RAM has single-core and multi-core scores of 769 and 1851, respectively. Additionally, the Surface Pro 7 equipped with Intel Core i5 with 8GB of RAM has single-core and multi-core scores of 1,210 and 4,079, respectively. In comparison, the M1 chip running on a 13-inch MacBook Pro with 8GB of unified memory performed better than the two Surface models with single-core and multi-core scores of 1735 and 7686, respectively.
The 12.3-inch Surface Pro 7 starts at $ 749.99 with 128GB of storage and 4GB of RAM and goes up to $ 2,299.99 with 1TB of storage and 16GB of RAM. In comparison, the current 13-inch MacBook Pro M1 starts at $ 1,299 with 256GB of storage and 8GB of unified memory and goes up to $ 2,299 for 2TB of storage and 16GB of unified memory.
Microsoft has long positioned its Surface devices as an ideal combination of both a tablet and desktop experience. In recent years, Microsoft has run several ads promoting its Surface line on Apple’s MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and iPad line.
