The contrast ratio of the MacBook Pro is 1,000,000:1 compared to the Surface Laptop Studio’s 1,500:1. XDR on the MacBook Pro is great news for content creators because that means accurate colors, contrast, and overall content. This year is the first year Apple has put an Extreme Dynamic Range (XDR) panel on its mobile workstation and, with HDR-enabled content, can reach 1,000 nits of sustained brightness and 1,600 of peak brightness. While the MacBook Pro has a better display on paper, I am not giving it to Apple so easily. The Surface Laptop Studio model that I have has 32GB of RAM, so it was not considered in the CPU benchmarks. The Surface Laptop Studio and the Surface Laptop Studio for business are also equivalent in everything except for the GPU, so you can expect the same performance for the CPU benchmarks with the same amount of memory for the benchmarks we ran. I wanted to include the A2000 in the GPU benchmarks to show the difference and give some perspective from a business standpoint. The A2000 has slightly better performance as you will see in the benchmarks, but the performance difference should still be considered. The business model comes with an NVIDIA RTX A2000 mobile GPU, and the consumer model comes with a GeForce RTX 3050 Ti. I also want to mention that when considering the Surface Laptop Studio for business, the model with the dGPU comes with a slightly different NVIDIA GPU than the consumer model. One difference that should be kept in the back of our minds is that the M1 Pro has 32GB of unified memory and the Surface Laptop Studio has 4GB GPU memory and 32GB CPU memory.

While the processors look unevenly matched, the M1 Pro and Intel Core have the same number of threads since the M1 Pro is single-threaded (8 threads), and the 4-core Intel processor is multi-threaded (8 threads).

I also want to mention that gaming should be wrapped into the content creation category since, statistically, I believe most content creators are also gamers. This matchup will be in two parts, with the first part focusing on benchmarking and performance and the second part comparing each laptop’s creator-specific experience. Both laptops were released in 2021, and I have had a considerable amount of time with both of them. The Surface Laptop Studio is the Surface that is content creator specific with its pen, touch, and modular support.

I chose the Surface Laptop Studio to go against the MacBook Pro because the Surface brand is most closely positioned to Apple with its premium-only line of devices for the Windows notebook ecosystem. It is a device made for content creators, artists, and casual gamers. The Surface Laptop Studio is a first-generation Surface device that mimics the positioning of the Surface Studio but in laptop form. This go around, I want to compare the MacBook Pro to Microsoft’s Surface Laptop Studio.
