The premium laptop market has always been dominated by Apple, and with the release of Apple MacBook Pro, it looked like Apple had sealed the top spot. However, that has not happened. In the past year, Microsoft has won over several Apple users in the Surface Vs Mac competition.

Apple's MacBook boasts of some amazing specs such as OLED Bar, Touch ID sensor, Intel Iris Pro graphics and more. However, it turns out that several Apple users do not prefer the touch bar over function keys. Both the 13-inch and 15-inch models are definitely overpriced, as reported by Macworld.

On the other hand, Microsoft Surface have a long battery life, comparatively, are not overpriced and are a perfect fit for creative professionals. As a reason of all these factors, more people are switching from Apple Macs to Microsoft Surface. According to Microsoft, in the Surface Vs Mac battle, the former is winning.

In a yearly review of Windows blog, Microsoft has said more people have switched from Mac to Surface as they were disappointed with the new MacBook Pro laptops.

Microsoft further elaborates in the blog that its trade-in program for MacBooks was the best ever in the history. In this program, users would get credit for their old Macs, which could be used towards the purchase of new Surface laptops,as reported by 9to5mac.

Apple MacBook and Air users received up to $650 in credit towards the purchase of Surface Book and Surface Pro from October 27 to November 23. This offer as company claims broke all records of trade-ins.

Microsoft also believes the higher switching from Mac to Surface can be attributed to a recent announcement of Surface Book Laptops and Surface Studio touchscreen convertible laptops.

Industry experts have an entirely different view of Surface Vs Mac. According to Slice intelligence, Mac laptops had outsold all its competitors in just five days. Reports also suggest that Apple has a better number this year compared to the last year.
