Why Users Choose Microsoft Surface Pro Over Apple Macbook Pro [Video]
The newest Apple Macbook Pro has polarized the fans. While some say that apparently the Touch Bar provides flexibility, others argue that it is not useful and at that price Apple could have given better hardware.
As such, there are a large number of people who are not happy with the 13-inch and 15-inch Macbook Pro models, simply because they are too underpowered. As for the others, the Touch Bar OLED strip is a welcome and massive change. For the casual users, this is the best and most innovative model from Apple.
Microsoft has always been about function more than form, and with the ultra powerful Surface Pro books, the company is targetting power users and not casual users. According to Microsoft, more people are coming to terms with the power of the Surface Pro and its ability to do tasks more easily.
The company said that more people are now switching from Macbook to Surface than in past years. According to 9to5Mac, Microsoft was successful in reeling in Macbook Pro users with their attractive offers. These offers and better marketing had a marked increase in the trade-ins.
Although Apple has had good reviews for the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBooks, people are just not into investing just because of a TouchBar. Moreover, the newest Apple doesn't come with SD card slots, which the Surface Pro still uses, because as of now there are no replacement technologies for an SD slot.
Moreover, due to Apple revolutionizing the ports of the newest MacBook, people are buying dongles for attaching an outside drive or a screen or even a printer. Due to the earlier and more accessible technologies available for the Microsoft Surface Pro, people are flocking to buy the laptop.
Newer technologies must be introduced to a consumer product, and Apple has been following this trend with the iPhones and MacBooks. However, with no replacement technology in sight, Apple has made a wrong move and that is showing.
