Microsoft says its Surface Book 2 is twice the power of current MacBook Pros

We enter a swampy terrain when we refer to terms of power in some teams, since there are several factors that influence this power and as the advertisement of a well-known brand of tires said: "Power without control is useless".

Obviously I do not want this phrase to be misinterpreted, it must be understood and clarified that Microsoft, Apple and all current brands require minimal power and control so that they work perfectly. In this case, if we simply advocate the gross power numbers of a team, we cannot say that Apple has the best, but it does not need more ...

Of what some put out their chest, others do not even look at it. It is the case of the figures that these may have new Surface Book 2 released by Microsoft, and is that for the 13.5-inch model an eighth-generation Intel Core i5-7300U or Intel Core i7-8650U processor is mounted, in the case of the 15 ″ model, the eighth-generation Intel Core i7-8650U processors are also mounted of the GTX 1060 NVIDIA graphics card and up to 16 GB of RAM.

With an initial cost of U.S. dollar 1,499 for the 13-inch version and $ 2,499 for the 15-inch version We cannot say that they are cheap computers and this is another part that must be taken into account when comparing a computer. If we focus on the operating system then obviously we throw more for macOS, but this is something evident on which many of us agree.

All this potential in hardware is left aside when it comes to reliability over time and functionality or comfort at work. Obviously Windows works fine, but macOS is better. We may get into the usual debate about whether or not Apple should implement more powerful processors, better graphics cards, more RAM or even more ports, but what is clear is that Macs work well with the hardware they have. You may think that Microsoft is better and that you like Windows better than macOS, but comparing raw power of Apple equipment and the rest is something that really does not make sense despite the fact that Microsoft and other brands continue to bet on it to sell more equipment.
