Apple is not done competing against other companies. They recently launched their new music streaming service that will go up against many others in the music industry. Now, the giant is looking to challenge the Microsoft Surface Pro 4, even though they have already released the super thin and light MacBook. According to reports and rumors going around the internet, the company is launching the 2016 MacBook Air this fall. Master Herald revealed a bit more about the popular laptop:

I see computers as tools that allow me to do my work, on my job I jump from windows to OS X and back all day, my job requires this so the best tool for that is an Apple machine, having said that, I have to admit that the first things I thought whe. Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is $264 more expensive than an average laptop ($669). MacBook Air 13' is a very popular and one of the cheaper options. It's in the top 3 bestselling laptops and has dozens of popular alternatives in the same price range, such as. Mar 07, 2019 Microsoft Surface Pro 6 vs. Apple MacBook Air (2018): Which should you buy? We live and breathe laptops, but not just Windows. Here we'll tell you how best to choose between Microsoft's best. 13-inch MacBook Pro (2016) vs. Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Size. Apple's laptops are relatively thin for their size. The 13-inch MacBook Pros weigh 1.37 kilograms, or about 3 pounds. MacBooks are still rocking their characteristic aluminum unibody. MacBook Pros are available in.
“Details on the 2016 MacBook Air are still scarce as of this time but reports indicate that it will be better than the predecessor model that Apple unveiled to the market last year.”
The people mentioning the new device are calling it the “2016 MacBook Air,” but no one really knows if it’s going to have that name. Fans of Apple are hoping that the new device brings major improvements this time around. The current MacBook Air has a screen with a 1440 x 900 pixel resolution, which is not the best out there. In comparison, the current MacBook, released two months ago, has a 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution screen, even though the screen on the device is a little bit smaller.
Surface Pro 4
The Surface Pro 4 will probably be out by the time this new MacBook Air is released. Microsoft’s product will most likely feature a digital screen for pen input just like the previous version, which gives them a huge advantage over competitors.
With all the reports and rumors going around, many believe that the Surface Pro will come out way before Apple’s new product. There are even some sites saying that the new Surface Pro will hit stores with Windows 10 on July 29, that’s a week and a month from now. It is possible that Apple is planning to compete with the iPad Pro rather than the new laptop. A few days ago, Apple Insider revealed something very interesting:
“Developers digging into the iOS 9 beta discovered that Apple’s 12.9-inch iPad — typically referred to as the iPad Pro — might get a unique, larger keyboard, with extra keys including an entire row dedicated to characters like asterisks and parentheses. The keyboard is only toggled to appear for an unreleased iPad size.”
Resolution, OS and Pen
Apple Insider thinks that the iPad Pro could have a 2732 x 2048 pixel resolution retina display that will have a similar pixel density as the iPad Air 2. Other tech sites have the iPad Pro featuring an improved version of OS X instead of the operating system that comes with the iPads and iPhones out there right now. Many say the iPad Pro will come with a digital pen, which makes fans and experts wonder if this is the product that is going to go up against the Surface Pro 4 and not the new laptop.

Apple fans won’t get much this summer, but the release of the iPhone 6s and the rumored iPad Pro and MacBook Air, will cheer them up this fall.
Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Prices
It has been a week since I traded my MacBook Air for Microsoft's latest Surface Pro 4. While I still need some time getting used to the Surface, I thought it would be interesting to compile a gallery of my previous workhorse with its newer replacement.
As you can see from the image above, the Surface Pro 4 sits right in-between a MacBook Air 11 and 13-inch. But if we had to choose, it is more comparable in size to the 11-inch model of the Air. As far thickness goes, the Pro 4 is a tad thinner on paper, but is barely noticeable when held in hand or viewed side-by-side.

While the Surface Pro 4 does weigh in at 1.73 pounds, it doesn't seem that much lighter compared to the Air's 2.38 pounds (11-inch) / 2.96 pounds (13-inch). But, I'm sure this is probably something you feel when you start lugging around the unit day in and day out.
