How Microsoft Surface Can Be A Major Competition Apple Macbook

Apple MacBook Air, has been dominating the campuses for year now, which might change soon, with the launch of Microsoft Surface. MacBook Air hasn’t been updated ever since its launch in 2015, which has students looking for other alternatives like Microsoft Surface.

Microsoft is going after the educational market, offering low price alternative. Their aim is pretty evident, to supplant Chromebooks in all schools.

Surface starts at $999 offering all the latest updates and feature, whereas Apple’s MacBook Air, still uses 2015 technology, which costs around $1,299. MacBook Air was criticized for its single USB-C port, which came with an 8GB RAM variant with only 256 GB internal storage, with an i5 Core processor. Microsoft Surface is also designed in a better, sleeker look, which gives it a trendier and newer finish compared to the latter.

It is fair to say, that Microsoft might take the throne from Apple, unless it come backs with a better replacement for its MacBook. We might be seeing lots of shiny Microsoft logos in the class halls in the near future.
