When the updated MacBook Air screen is similar to that of the 2015 MacBook Air we tried (which is probably the case), the Surface laptop is lighter and more colourful. Surface Laptop radiates up to 361 bits of light, beats the Air's 334 bits, and generates 135 per cent of the Air's RGB spectra, more than twice the 65th of the Air's. The Surface Laptop is the first to emit up to 361 bits of light.

Surface Laptop is lighter, more colourful and sharp, which makes it an instant game. The MacBook Air and Surface laptops both have illuminated keypads, but the Alcantara comfortably stain-resistant Alcantara decks on Microsoft's machines make it more wrist friendly.

Surface laptops, on the other hand, package the latest Intel Kaby Lake 7th-generation CPUs, and the Core i5-7200U in our test case came in at a respectable 7,157 in Geekbench 4's general test.

When Apple uses the same SSD memory in the new MacBook Air as in the predecessor, it's the best Surface laptop in its class. This is more than three time faster than the Surface Laptop (110. 6 MBps). Conclusion: Surface Laptop, thanks to its more modern processors.
