Fstoppers.com did real world professional testing (YouTube Video) between a top of the line Microsoft i7 Surface Book and a 15" Apple i5 MacBook Pro, both with GPUs, using real world applications a photographer uses everyday. . . and the MacBook Pro blew away the Microsoft Surface in all the tests including video editing of 4K videos with real time applications of effects.

I quoted the article, I didn’t say it was true. That’s the point they made at the end.

"We figured out a way to put a GPU in a 13-inch laptop, while Apple and all other PC makers couldn’t or wouldn’t do it."

You're speaking of discrete graphics.

The point I was making is that the article was claiming the Microsoft Surface Book at $1500 had the GPU but it does not. To get the GPU costs $200 more at $1699. The $1499 has essentially the same type of integrated graphics as the $1299 MacBook Pro has. . .
