Surface is the most closely positioned to Apple with its premium-only device lines for the Windows notebook ecosystem.
I have spent much time evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of M1 compared to its competitors like Intel and its ecosystem, but one comparison I received requests on was comparing the Microsoft Surface devices against Apple's M1 MacBooks. I then followed it up with a AAA gaming review and finally an Intel Evo PC vs.
I published an out-of-the-gate review of the M1 MacBook last November using my productivity tools. Over the last five months, I have spent an immense amount of time using the new Apple M1 MacBooks.
