@MysticalKO Yeah that's my reasoning too, webcam is 720, but it's ok The only thing I'm waiting is performance and pricing Last year Razer 14 was beating G14 I think from what I've heard I kinda would want G15 too if price for performance was worth it, but that one still comed in 16:9...so probably not Other than that the white colour really sold it to my eyes, it's what I've been waiting the whole 2021...I was close to getting the 2021 G14, but I didn't like the look of it and was waiting for razer 13 Then razer came with 14, no mercury white and I hoped in 2022 they would do it, but nope...

[@chap2668]

Times haven't changed. Razer and Apple target largely different areas of expertise. Razer is a much more versatile product, it can edit videos and also game. The M1 Pro won the video editing tests solely because of the media accelerators inside. The MacBook is a productivity machine so it is optimized for that. Also, the CPU and GPU in the Razer are an year old.

Going by TG Pro at 15:35 you're not using the base model for the MBP at all. You're using the 10 core CPU (2 efficiency, 8 performance cores)/ 16 core GPU (2 sets of 8 clusters). So not only is this not the base model but every benchmark score you gave is now completely wrong for the product you're claiming to test.

[@CreatedTech]

Actually TG Pro displays that information for all models of the M1 Pro MacBooks, regardless of exact CPU/GPU core configuration. I can guarantee you the MacBook in this video was the base model 14". It says so in system report and also on the barcode on the packaging. Don't rely on what TG Pro displays there, it's not fully updated for the new Apple silicon MacBooks.

[@MrFrexys]

@@CreatedTech Ah my apologies then. If that's the case then it's good to know these are accurate.

[@MrDucatiV4]

This is definitely the Base MacBook pro 14 for sure! My MacBook pro 14 with 10CPU/16GPU core got much higher scores. In similar CPU benchmarking my MacBook pro 14 10cpu/16gpu got 20% higher scores and in the GPU benchmarks I got about 10% higher scores than this base MacBook pro 14. I ran all these benchmark on battery power like he did in the video at full brightness. I went from 100% to 68% battery life after about 2hrs of non-stop testing. The MacBook fan was barely noticeable during the test haha compared to the jet engine of the razor.

[@amulia1]

I own both these laptops, I'd say razerblade 14 is the best value computer that razer has released in a while, especially the 3070 model. If you were to build a computer with the same specs as the razer you are probably spending similar money. So in terms of specs I don't think the Macbook 14 is that good of a value. However, I don't think people should consider the Macbook just for the specs. Think about your only spending 2000 dollars, but you are getting the same screen as apples flagship 6000 dollar monitor. If you haven't seen the screen you got to go to an apple store to see it, its like a generational leap. Thats like paying 2000 for the screen and getting the rest of the computer for free. BTW, I know the new Macbook pro uses the same screen as the new iPad pro 12.9 inch, but to my eyes the Macbook pro screen looks better, can some one tell me why that is?

[@jeezy9406]

The biggest issue with the MacBook is the software, there are so many professional tools that simply don’t have a macOS port especially with the new SOC, if this MacBook could run all the auto desk apps and if unreal was optimised etc unfortunately that’s the biggest deal breaker for me

That's a great point. What's crazy is the 14" MacBook has 2,010 dimming zones, the huge XDR display only has 576. So it has almost 4x the dimming zones while being much smaller making blooming a LOT less than the XDR. Technology is improving rather quickly lately. Also from what I've seen the 12.9" has more blooming, which is why the 14" would look better especially in darker scenes. Honestly I like Windows more than Mac, but I primarily use a Mac now because of the hardware. Imagine if the 14" MacBook Pro was actually a windows machine with the same performance/efficiency/specs. But that's just wishful thinking, I doubt even in the next 5 years that a windows machine will come out that check's all the right boxes (Speaker quality, Screen, Performance, Battery, Fan Noise, Instant sleep/on, etc).

[@LtUpgradesPh]

Quick question , did you use the RTX3060 when you rendered in resolve or you opted to use Native? I'm wondering because using NVIDIA as renderer for resolve is just a lot quicker testing it over against my M1 Mac Mini Love your videos btw.

[@MoChuang343]

I was wondering the same since the h264 scrubbing was so choppy. He specifically said he used Resolve Studio to unlock hardware acceleration. I assume he checked the box since he mentioned it. But he did not explicitly state that he turned on HW acceleration.

[@LtUpgradesPh]

@@MoChuang343 yeah, I wanted to make sure bc I suppose even if you enable it in the editing process/ settings, Nvidia as rendered won't be the default still on the deliver page. So yeah, if you can answer it bro, would be nice.

[@S1eepers]

It would smash the macbook if it used the gpu rendering. The mac probably uses the gpu and cpu since its both in the same chip.

[@EinfachObli]

​@@LtUpgradesPh Did you consider testing 4:2:0 material? Currently only M1 Macs support hardware decoding for 4:2:2 h264 and h265 whereas Nvidia, Intel and AMD only support 4:2:0 and 4:4:4. So dropped frames and slower speeds overall aren't really surprising.

[@PasteurizedLettuce]

Isn’t that not the same chip though?

What about timeline performance of R3D files? Render time was longer with m1 pro but was playback, scrubbing etc. slower?

[@gnkstudios6138]

So basically, you can have all the benchmark scores in the world but it proves nothing lol M1 pro has a much higher bandwidth, faster ssd with the neural engine which I believe implements AI to efficiently operate through various tasks, plus the ram speed is about 2x the speed at roughly 6ghz rather than the much more common 3.2ghz clock speeds on the ram. Not to mention all the optimization and efficiency that ARM based chips provide over x86. So basically we need to look at specs and machine performance a little bit differently. When gaming becomes optimized because I believe it would be a sin for developers to not optimize there games for macOS, it will be the nail in the coffin. Hopefully in a year we will s we more AAA games in apple. Others will follow after that. Great video btw! Keep it up

It would be quite easy to write optimized games for Apple Silicon, but I don’t think developers want for now.

[@iatwiatw]

Benchmarks are not useless because they're what we HAVE at the moment. Don't get me wrong, I'm as impressed with the M1 series of SoCs as anyone. But their specs are just like smartphone specs at this point. All that power and nothing to do with them. These new Mac machines are powerful and efficient, sure. But how many games are optimized for them? If you want to game NOW or even in the next 3 or 4 years, you'd have to be in denial if you think that any of Apple's machines are a better deal than the Windows machines in their price range. That games will be optimized for M1 series chips is not a foregone conclusion. It's still a huge if. Believe me, I would be incredibly happy to have a gaming Mac, but clearly Apple isn't interested in it at the moment. The truth is that the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of PC gamers have low budget Windows machines. They're not part of Apple's target audience. The reason why Razer and other luxury brands and PC components exists for Windows gamers is that games are highly scalable. You have a good machine? Game runs good. You have a great machine? Game runs great. But at the end of the day, you still need that massive consumer base to prop up the gaming industry.

Can i put one more ssd in macbook m1 pro 14 ? ( because i want to install windows in that one)

[@MelvsAmores]

Thanks for this video. I was waiting for the unplugged version of the Razer so that we can have a clearer picture of the performance of the two. Nah, Windows camp would say "not fair" (because the machine needs to be plugged to "perform").

[@ricosrealm]

The razer will get smoked. Gpu and cpu will be throttled

exactly the only true laptop in this comparison is the macbook, may aswell get a desktop gaming pc than the razer

[@Someone-qq9zd]

It doesn’t make sense to unplug it, if you want a fair comparison the MacBook should also be plugged in….

[@LorenIPSVM]

I have 15"razer blade 3070 and 16" m1 max and have been working with heavy 3d scans in blender on both- mbp can do things as well on just battery that razer needs to be plugged in to do- also razer lliterally burns my lap- gets hot enough to put burn brown marks in some bed sheets. Mbp stays cool and runs most of a workday off the battery for these 3d tasks and for the first time in my life I have been reaching for macbook over the pc every day since ive been using it

[@yessirskiii2615]

Curious how gaming performance would be on the MacBook if you used windows through boot camp.

[@inwedavid6919]

Well the macc goes from 48 to 120 and don't keep 120hz all the time while the PC does. There are video where you see mac consume also around 100w at full load too.

[@starshipupdates5217]

During gaming at 120hz the mac knows to lock it at 120 and not make it adapt. The 100w is for the M1 max not the M1 pro and that’s only if you max out both the gpu and cpu at the same time. The cpu on the pro can consume 30w at 100 percent load. But when gaming a cpu is generally using around 10-30 percent utilisation not 100 so it would be using around 10w. Gpu on the other hand uses half the power of an M1 max chip as it has half the cores so at 100 percent gou utilisatjon it would use 30-40w of power this brings gaming wattage to a total of 40-50w. The charger in the box is more than 60w so you can still gain a charge while gaming.

What is the wallpaper of macOS in the thumbnail?

[@samdroid37]

ive owned a razer blade 2021 RTX 3070 Ryzen 5900HX for almost a year now. its great but its hot and loud lol. its not as comfortable or as consistent as the new macs. but its nice to be able to play whatever game you want and then immediately work in android studio, browse the web, watch movies etc. Its portable too. absolutely sucks for music production though (omg its so bad). Idk depends what you are after, neither are the perfect do it all machine. unless you really want to play games wherever you want on the fly get the mac. just my 2cents.

[@truthseeker6804]

that razer blade is a solid bang for buck with swappable ssd. both are good tho.

[@blion3d]

Why are you comparing M1 pro instead of MAX, I'm exhausted that all KZbinrs do the same, compare IT with the HIGH END of each brand!(bc anyone cares about prices crossing the 1200$ line) On top of all that M1 pro still wins in every benchmark that isn't PC gaming/overbutter PC driver optimization benchmark

[@giabaonguyen6083]

thank you! this vid is just what i need

[@ricosrealm]

Been waiting for this... thanks for the review!

[@DanielRodriguez-fg5ll]

you mean well, but the color comparison was a bit all over the place and the final verdict depends if you need true-to-life colors. if you are editing photos, you need the screen to reproduce printed media or average screen colors, and for that razer's matte screens are very good. Granted for video CONSUMPTION the Mac looks better, but that does not mean it is the better panel for color precise work. Also P3 is P3, both screens cover 100% P3.

[@CreatedTech]

Some misinformation here. Firstly, the matte screen on the Razer is not meant to be “true-to-life” accurate. It won’t give you a super accurate idea of what images will look like on printed media because it’s not designed for that purpose. Secondly, the screen on the RTX 3060 version of the Blade is NOT P3, you have to spend extra and get the RTX 3070 version with 1440p screen.

[@DanielRodriguez-fg5ll]

@@CreatedTech thanks. maybe I am biased I have the QHD model. What I meant, is printed paper is matte by definition. No glossy screen will give you true-to-life printed colors. but I agree, the true measurement is DeltaE not even coverage of the space. On P3, I was reacting as I thought you said, one covers P3, the other covers wideP3. I think P3 is one and that is it.

On Geekbench the M1 Pro 8 core is 37% faster while on Cinebench the Ryzen is 35% faster. Passmark puts Ryzen 5900hx on the same ballpark as M1 Max and M1 Pro 10 core. Geekbench favoring Apple?

[@ricosrealm]

Geekbench has known flaws on m1s

[@reaperreaper5098]

Geekbench favors ARM uArchs. Even now, geekbench scores shouldn’t be directly compared between x86 and ARM, becuase it’s not an overly reliable cross architecture benchmark.

[@MrDucatiV4]

The Razer sounds like a freaking jet engine through my speakers so I'm sure it's even louder in person. The MacBook will perform the same as the Razer if they were both on battery power and at the same time lasting twice as long. Majority of Intel CPU needs to be plugged if they were to reach full potential in performance. The new MacBook M1 Pro/Max have definitely surpassed Intel in the laptop segment! I got rid of my Dell XPS 9510 i9-11900H +32gb ram+4k screen+RTX 3050ti for the Higher power MacBook pro 14 with 10core CPU/16 core gpu + 16gb ram. MacBook pro 14 $2,500 and Dell XPS 9510 $2,700. They both look great design wise, performance was identical(with XPS plugged in), but the MacBook battery lasted longer than the XPS by double the amount. The XPS fans was on consistently unlike MacBook which was silent. I do Coding/3d rendering/Adobe content creation work.

Razer is still overall more practical because 90-95% of the world’s software is compatible with windows. I’m a windows guy, but these new 14” variants with the m1 pro/max are having exceptional performance. For gaming - stick to a windows laptop. MacBook are more for graphic designer, photo editing, video editing. Not to say you can’t do it all, but it’s true practically is what you get on a windows machine. You will also save $$ and can customize whenever you find convenient on a gaming computer.

Why don't you test the Razor with the best CPU, Ryzen 9 5900X? Does anyone know where I can find that comparison?

I'm guessing because the M1 Pro isn't Apples chip with the best graphics performance. It would make more sense to compare the Ryzyn 9 5900X with the un-binned M1 Max chip.

You do not mention the motion clarity of the screen, it's 20hz on paper, but the massive response time of the ProMotion panel makes the screen looks like a bad 60hz display at 120hz. I have compared my M1 Pro 16' screen with my OLED 120hz display, using testufo at 120hz on both screens, the difference in smoothness is huge.
