In the end, the price of the two products compared in US dollars.
MacBook Pro starts at $1,299 whereas the Surface Pro 7 starts at $890.
Comparing it to the prices in India, the 13-inch Intel-powered MacBook Pro with 512GB storage starts at Rs 1,74,900, and the M1-powered starts at Rs 1,22,900.
This is not the first time Microsoft has taken a dig at Apple in an advertisement.
