I still use my iPad Pro for any serious drawing (it’s a shame that iPad OS is still so awful when it comes to productivity). I don’t do a lot of writing or drawing on my Surface but it’s amazing how often it comes up when dealing with documents or proposals coming in. The MacBook Air M1 also doesn’t support touch and writing. Which is a bit of a bummer because the M1 is such a great piece of hardware and despite Parallels 17 with Windows 11 Arm, it’s not a good machine for running Windows. But when it comes to juggling a lot of different types of work, Windows is, for me anyway, much better. Windows is just, for me, so much more productive when connected to a hub and does so much better with multiple monitors.īeing a daily Mac and PC user means I know both really well. When I need to do more real work, the Surface Pro is the obvious choice for me. It’s just so much peppier and MacOS is so much better for switching between full-screen apps with the trackpad. When I am just sitting down and browsing or reading email, the MacBook Air is the obvious choice. I suspect you care about many of the same things. That’s not to say the Surface Pro 8 is slow, but it’s definitely not in the same league as the MacBook Air.īelow is a table of the things I care about and how each device handles the given task.
The MacBook Air is noticeably faster than the Surface Pro 8. So let’s just get this out of the way: The MacBook Air is a much better deal than the Surface Pro 8. The Surface Pro 8, once the keyboard is added, is $2,000 (this is the I7 configuration). There is a big price difference between the MacBook Air M1 and the Surface Pro (once you add in the keyboard).
