Principled Technologies Releases Competitive Study Comparing the Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio vs. the Apple MacBook Pro
Principled Technologies (PT) measured system performance on two 14.4-in. Surface Laptop Studio models powered by Intel Core i7 compute and NVIDIA discrete graphics processors vs. comparable M1 Pro processor-powered MacBook Pro laptops.
Durham, NC, May 13, 2022 --(PR.com)-- There is no one type of user. So, to test how the 14.4-inch Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio—which includes the combination of 11th Gen Intel Core i7 compute and NVDIA dedicated graphic processors—can benefit consumers, hobbyists, gamers, and content creators, PT ran general-purpose and design workflow performance tests. They used a variety of industry-standard benchmarks to measure performance, including Geekbench 5 Pro, Basemark GPU, Blender, and more. They then ran the same tests on Apple MacBook Pro devices powered by M1 Pro 10-core CPUs with 16-core GPUs, and they compared the performance results. Additionally, PT researched the compatibility of the devices across popular games and CAD apps.
According to the report, “In our general purpose performance comparison, we found that the Surface Laptop Studio powered by an Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti laptop GPU with 4GB GDDR6 GPU memory, in addition to 16 GB of memory and 512 GB of PCIe SSD storage, received higher Geekbench 5 Pro, Basemark GPU, Unigine Heaven, and Unigine Valley benchmark scores than the MacBook Pro powered by an Apple M1 Pro 10-core CPU with 16-core GPU. This Surface Laptop Studio configuration also outperformed its similarly configured MacBook Pro competitor in three in-game benchmark comparisons as well as completing multiple Blender 3D rendering tasks in less time.
“In our design workflow performance comparison, we found that the Surface Laptop Studio powered by an Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA RTX A2000 laptop GPU with 4GB GDDR6 GPU memory, in addition to 32 GB of memory and 1 TB of PCIe SSD storage, received higher benchmark scores in five of six comparisons and completed a Maya 2022 app-based rendering task in less time than the similarly configured MacBook Pro powered by an Apple M1 Pro 10-core CPU with 16-core GPU.
“These wins, as well as the greater gaming app and professional CAD software compatibility we found with the Windows-based Surface Laptop Studio models, could benefit consumers, hobbyists, gamers, and professional CAD users alike.”
