Our Verdict

MacBook Pro 14 (M3) vs Surface Laptop 7 15"

Apple MacBook Pro 14 M3 Pro wins on CPU performance with 11-core M3 Pro (5P+6E) versus Surface Laptop 7’s 8-core Ultra 7 268V, and its 14-core GPU outperforms Intel Arc 140V in sustained workloads without a fan. Choose the MacBook Pro if you edit 4K video with Final Cut Pro—24GB RAM and 512GB SSD handle multi-track timelines efficiently, and 18-hour battery life outlasts the Surface’s 11 hours. Pick the Surface Laptop 7 if you run Windows-only apps like AutoCAD or need 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD for large datasets, plus Wi-Fi 7 and dual DisplayPort for multi-monitor setups. In UAE at AED 5799 vs AED 6199, the MacBook Pro is better because it delivers longer battery life and superior thermal efficiency. In India at ₹144900 vs ₹182990, the MacBook Pro wins on value because it offers comparable performance at 21% lower cost with better daily endurance.
