We have completed testing of the new MacBook Pro 13-inch however, and at 10 hours and 21 minutes, it performed quite well, as did the 16-inch MacBook Pro at 10 hours and 55 minutes. We are still working on our official battery testing for the Suface Book 3, but Microsoft is claiming 15 hours and 30 minutes for the 13.5-inch and 17 hours and 30 minutes for the 15-inch model. While none of these laptops are slouches in the battery department, the Surface Book 3 has the definitive edge. MacBook Pro vs Surface Book 3: Battery Life The 13.5-inch Surface Book 3 has a comparable CPU to the 13-inch MacBook Pro with the option to add a discrete GPU, but for the larger models, the MacBook Pro 16-inch has a significant CPU advantage over the Surface Book 3 15-inch that should make it the better performing option for most tasks. I'm calling this round a tossup until we have our official testing results.
With the larger models the MacBook Pro 16-inch really shines in the CPU department with 6- and 8-core 45w CPUs versus the quad-core 15w CPUs of the 15-inch Surface Book 3. Turning to the CPU, the lower-end 13-inch MacBook Pros still features an 8th-Gen Intel CPU, while the higher-end 13-inch MacBook Pro steps up to the 10th-Gen Intel Ice Lake CPUs just like the 13.5-inch Surface Book 3. The 15-inch Surface Book 3 lacks the newest RTX Super options from Nvidia, but can include either the GeForce 1660 Ti Max-Q or Quadro RTX 3000 Max-Q.

Particularly for the smaller models, the 13.5-inch Surface Book 3 has the option of an Nvidia GeForce 1650 Max-Q, which leaves the Intel Iris Plus of the 13-inch MacBook Pro in the dust. On the graphics side, there is little question that the Surface Book 3 will again win this given its considerably more powerful GPU options.

We will take another look at this category once we have completed our full reviews and performance testing of the new Surface Book 3 models and the MacBook Pro 13-inch, but let's compare the specs to see who is likely to come out ahead. While the larger MacBook Pro got the bump up to a 16-inch screen last year, that was the only real exterior change and the MacBook Pro 13 remains identical to its predecessor down to the dimensions and weight.
We will weigh in on the new hinge in our full review soon, but the basic design remains the same with the visible gap when folded shut. The Surface Book 3 looks nearly identical to its predecessor.
