Which one would YOU personally choose?

[zecanard]

The quality of the "FaceTime HD" camera on Apple's MacBooks is beyond embarrassing at this point.

Brain says surface laptop 3..
Heart says Macbook air..
:/

[jonasbennett]

100% shocked but the surface speakers sounded better.

[JihadPowell]

All The Macbook had to do is run a $.25 heat pipe directly to the fan

[nizarreghai]

I'm old enough to see Microsoft beating Apple in the quality and performance after long years of dominance

5:05 lol he didn't want to admit the surface webcam and microphone was better . so he threw it at us. FANBOY!

[vibeyvibevibes]

came here for an unbiased review

and i didn’t get it

[HShango]

Surface Laptop 3 sounds clearer and louder
Macbook air has more of a balance

Nearly a perfect video but the apple bias is a little too much in the end.
1. didn't mention better wifi speed in the surface
2. Showed the graph of the write speeds being faster in apple but not the read being faster on surface.
3. Said apple build quality is better but you didn't say how yet you said surface hinge is better.
4. The speaker and webcam were clearly better in the surface even if the sound was very close.
5. Made sure to say apple wins in the build quality, trackpad and battery but didn't say anything about surface being better in screen and keyboard.
6. Tried to play off the windows not having x50 times better performance / thermals because it crashed when you tried to run an app ok.
7. A macbook air cpu would not be able to handle games on an external GPU.

Welcome to the greatest, most undercover apple ad out there.

The webcam on the surface 3 is crushing the MacBook air the mic quality is much better and the surface 3 speakers are much clearer🔥🔥🔥

[torpedospurs]

Don't forget - you can swap out the SSD on the Surface Laptop 3 but you can't for the MacBook Air.

I like the speaker and face cam in surface laptop more.

[avvahh]

Viewers to Max Tech :

Max Tech: yes

[MidnightBloomDev]

Not connecting fan to a heatsink should be illegal

[kspade]

5:30 macbook sounds muffled, like it's coming from under a blanket. Surface was definitely better sounding

[kianjinlow]

Been waiting for this video ever since MBA 2020's launch!! It's a relief to know that I'm not the only one who found it difficult deciding between these two 😂 anyways thank you so much for the great insights!
