Surface Pro 3 vs Macbook Air

Both of these are awesome computers, they both have their advantages and disadvantages. The Macbook air originally came out on January 28th, 2009. The new 2015 macbook came out on March 9th 2015. The Surface Pro 3 came out on June 20th, 2014. With the Macbook air it comes in two sizes, 13.3 inch (33.78cm) and 11.6 inch (29.46cm). The Surface Pro 3 comes in one size, the width is 11.5 inches (29cm) and for the height it is 7.93 inches (20.1 cm). The operating system of the Surface Pro 3 is Windows 8.1, which has a simple look to it. On the other hand, the Macbook's operating system is OS XThere have been 10 so far, here they are in order from oldest to newest, Cheetah/Puma, Jaguar, Panther, Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks and Yosemite. The advantages of the Macbook Air is that is has more ports than a Surface Pro 3, it has 2 USB 3.0 ports and a SD card reader, it is also really thin. The disadvantages is that it doesn't have Retina like the Macbook Pro and the new Macbook do. The advantages of the Surface Pro 3 is that it can be turned into a tablet and be used with a stylus pen, the Macbook isn't touchscreen like the Surface is. The Surface has many different keyboards that you can buy, like the colours purple, blue, black and red. The disadvantages of the Surface Pro 3 are that the type keyboards cost an extra $130. Overall, I personally like the Surface Pro 3 better because it can be used as a tablet with a stylus pen, it has a kickstand at the back and it is also really thin and nice looking. The choice is up to you on which one you want to choose.
