Apple finally met its match in the form of the laptop-tablet computer, Microsoft Surface Pro X, that can beat the MacBook Air M1 2020 because of one major detail that it does not have. Both laptop computers are sporting ARM-based chipsets that combine almost all significant processes in a single chip, reducing different processes internally.
The two technology manufacturing giants in the country have met each other on the battlefield, again looking at another rivalry that now concerns their PC laptops in the portability match. Both laptop computers have bid farewell to the former processor chip, the Intel core, and have moved forward with its recent ARM architecture.

The trend for flagship computers has left behind Intel's core processor technology, with Apple leading the charge with the M1 system on chip (SoC), also known as the Apple Silicon. The most recent company to have adapted to this trend is Microsoft, with the Surface Pro X's new release featuring the 2-in-1 tablet computer.
However, despite the tablet computer's design, it is still a worthy opponent for the MacBook Air M1, as some would argue that this tech would not be enough to match up against full-pledged laptops. Moreover, these new laptops are considered to be the most portable designs in each company's releases, all while featuring power in its processes.
In choosing between the two computers, it is important to note the use and purpose for purchase, because all while both perform the very basic of computers, these two still have massive differences from each other. The difference between the two is a massive factor in which Microsoft beats Apple's M1 MacBooks right off the bat.
Microsoft vs. Apple: Why Does Surface Pro X Beat MacBook Air M1?
According to Forbes, there is one huge factor that puts the Microsoft 2-in-1 computer at an advantage over the M1. That reason is solely based on portability and mobility, which the Microsoft Surface Pro X focuses on, being the laptop-tablet that it is.

Moreover, the Surface Pro X holds a 4G/LTE availability with it, making internet data connection not a problem and not requiring another device to hotspot connection on its platform, making it almost all-in-one. Additionally, it features a detachable keyboard and touchscreen that can come quite handy, especially for editors, designers, developers, etc.
In terms of powers and processes, Apple still takes home the win with its remarkable M1 that tops most benchmark process tests, despite being the MacBook Air only. Initially, there is a massive difference between the Air and Pro MacBooks, but the introduction of the M1 removed those disadvantages, with both running on almost the same specs.
Microsoft Surface Pro X and Apple's MacBook Air M1 are both exceptional computers with different purposes suited to various needs of the user. Surface Pro X takes the win for portability and mobility, making it have the edge over Apple.
