The Surface's result is not bad by any measure, but the 15-inch MacBook Pro endured for 10 hours and 21 minutes, a couple hours longer than the premium laptop average (8:15). We were disappointed when the Surface Laptop 3 lasted only 8 hours on our battery test, which involves continuous web browsing over Wi-Fi at 150 nits. The average premium laptop tops out at 61 fps on this game. The Surface Laptop played the racing game Dirt 3 at 57 frames per second, whereas the MacBook Pro ran the title at a smooth 120 fps.

The MacBook Pro has a more-capable Radeon Pro Vega 20 GPU but is limited by how few games macOS supports. The Surface Laptop 3's integrated AMD Radeon Vega 9 graphics can play casual games but not AAA titles at high graphics settings. Neither of these laptops is great for gamers, but that's for different reasons in each case. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the MacBook Pro's 4TB PCIe SSD reached a blistering rate of 2,610.8 MBps, several times faster than the category average (504.6 MBps). Alas, the 256GB SSD in our review unit was painfully slow, needing 18 seconds to duplicate 4.97GB of multimedia data at a rate of 282.7 megabytes per second. This huge gulf in performance wouldn't have been so bad if Microsoft had equipped the Surface Laptop 3 with a fast hard drive.
