Isn't this device immensely more powerful than that? You're comparing a Core M to i series, integrated weak GPU to powerful dedicated GPU, Surface Book has a larger higher resolution display - to be comparable seems incredible. Admittedly Surface Book has a lot more space/weight for battery so it's not really a fair comparison either way you look at it.
I'd be amazed if I could get my rMBP (2015) to pull 15 hours though which seems like a fair comparison on most fronts, so I'm definitely impressed.
- rayiner 11y agoOn Ars's reviews, the i5 Surface Book got 749 minutes in the light wifi browsing test, and the 2015 rMBP 13" got 794 minutes.
- mcintyre1994 11y agoThanks for pointing this out, my relative comparison is obviously off. I stand by the comment that the rMBP is the right comparison but presumably the 2015 Macbook would do even better in that test.
