I really wanted to get a Surface Pro, but it's so slow compared to my old MBP.

I wonder if this has to do with the kind of processor they use in Surface, which I assume is an ultrabook processor.

No, two weeks ago I made a topic about whether I should get the $799 Surface Pro w/ cover.

I since tried it out and was perplexed by how slow it felt.

The pro is twice as heavy, and basically twice as big. Why are you shocked that a laptop is more powerful than a tablet? It has more room for components, which generally means more power. You might as well ask why the surface is more powerful than the HTC Desire smartphone.

Mac is highly optimized for it's front-end. I don't know the specs of either but that's usually how Macs work, they're built to be snappy.

Try running stress tests or high intensity applications and see which is better for you.

Perhaps you can get a Matebook X Pro instead.
