MacBook Air 15 (M3) vs Surface Pro 11

Apple MacBook Air 15 M3 outperforms Surface Pro 12 in CPU and GPU tasks, with its 8-core M3 (4.1 GHz P-cores) and 10-core GPU delivering 2.5x higher sustained graphics throughput than the Snapdragon X Plus’ Adreno X1 (1.7 TFLOPS), and it runs completely fanless. Choose the MacBook Air if you edit 4K video with Final Cut Pro—16GB RAM and 256GB SSD handle multi-track timelines smoothly, and its 18-hour battery lasts longer than the Surface’s 11-hour runtime. Pick the Surface Pro 12 if you need Windows apps and 1TB storage for local AI tools or large media libraries, plus Wi-Fi 7 and a detachable keyboard for hybrid work. In UAE at AED 4499 vs AED 5699, the MacBook Air is better because it offers superior performance and battery life for ₹52,000 less in India, where its M3 chip and macOS efficiency justify the lower price despite half the storage.
