My expectations are as follows: these are two completely different systems that run on two different architectures (x86 and Arm) that have their pros and cons. I also want to answer why I am comparing a system (Surface Laptop 4) that is about two generations behind specs wise. Let’s dive in.īefore I begin, I want to preface the benchmarks with my expectations and reasoning for including benchmarks. Now I want to compare the Surface Laptop 4 to the MacBook Air M2. I have also looked at the MacBook AAA gaming scene, much of which hasn’t changed since Apple first released its M1 SoCs. I have compared the Surface Laptop Studio and the 16-inch MacBook Pro, the Surface Laptop 3 and MacBook Air M1, and the MacBook Pro and Surface Book. Although the Surface Laptop 4 is a generation behind under the hood, and the Surface Laptop 5 could be coming out soon, I believe the Surface Laptop 4 still offers a better experience for hybrid work and is a better value than the MacBook Air M2. While I believe this truth is more profound for devices built for performance like the Surface Laptop Studio and MacBook Pro, it is also true for devices like the MacBook Air and Surface Laptop 4 that target small form factor laptop audiences. Unless something dramatically changes in silicon and compatibility, MacBooks will be better at video editing and Windows laptops will always be better at gaming, productivity, and multitasking. While I have many likes and dislikes about the MacBook Air M2, there is one truth that stays the same throughout my entire experience. Over the four months, I have been using the MacBook Air M2 to write articles sometimes, I take it with me when I travel.
