MOST POWERFUL MacBook vs PC Laptop (RIP Windows?)

Despite, the MAC coming a long way. And even if say next week the performance was on par to Windows, there would be the 3:1 or more price difference to consider and Apple's stranglehold on the right to repair from 3rd parties. Not to mention the scale of apps & games that are compatible on Windows. However, I think the Apple APU can give the current CPU king, AMD a run of their money.

Thanks for hardwork, I don't know why people don't notice that arm processors are built different than x86 processors many windows laptops use. They are far more efficient and give good performance because they are essentially similar to Qualcomm smartphones on steroids unlike bulky unefficient cores of intel and amd.

Nobody hates Mac. People hate Apple for being greedy and not giving the option to upgrade or fix stuff yourself. In my country, upgrading the Mac from 48gb to 64gb RAM costs $250 whereas a 6000MHz ddr5 RAM costs $65 for a Windows machine. Same goes for storage, Apple charges $500 for +1tb, $80 for Windows. Also 8gb RAM on base models is not enough, swap will kill your ssd in a year.

how can you say that when with the same spec, regardless of bottlenecking, the price of a windows laptop (gaming) is cheaper than a desktop? Windows needs to release its own processor and make it awesome. Desktop will die sooner or later anyway

[@xaratemplate]

You can’t ignore bottle necking really as that is an important factor but even ignoring that a desktop gpu generally has more power than a laptop gpu. The ram upgrade in a desktop will normally be far greater than a laptop. When a laptop breaks you have to send it in for repairs if the motherboard dies. If your desktop motherboard dies you just buy a new one in the store. The flexibility and upgrade ability on a desktop is in a different league than a windows laptop. If you are running any kind of business that requires constant up time get a desktop. If you are just gaming than sure a laptop is fine. If you really want to go with laptop then I would recommend buying 2x if you are running a business so that when one goes down and needs repairs you can use the 2nd one. Honestly you can make any option work it just requires planning so I understand your perspective on going with laptop as well.

[@derbinromu5622]

that aint gonna be a thing if you want good ram and gpu performance in your mac. 'cause the ram and gpu is in the same chip as the cpu so you would have to change the whole M-chip if you nwanted better ram for example. and if apple made them sepperate it would suffer from the same thing that is with pci-express. Speed. Yes pci-e is getting faster over time but no where near the speeds of apple silicon

[@Skribzz_]

If the EU force them to make it upgradeable you wont get that same performance anymore. The whole way the M-chip Macs work has every component (unified memory, cpu and gpu etc) in the one chip. By letting you upgrade individual components, they can’t make it compact or nearly as efficient anymore because building your system in a more modular non-integrated way would negate all the performance improvements that apple have brought to the table. I am all about right to repair though, let me fix my own laptop goddamn it!! 😭

Considering one platform can do it all (Windows) and the other platform (macOS) will require you to buy a separate machine if you want to do gaming, I think it's safe to say that many many people will choose Windows simply for the fact that they don't want/have the room for 2 systems. The GPU performance of the M3 is also not at all on the same level as Nvidia or AMD. Apple will have to up their GPU performance significantly if it wants to be able to compete in gaming. Until then, I guess we still have to buy Windows. Which is a shame really because macOS is quite nice for work tasks and the physical quality of their computers are really nice.

Exactly, the dude is just hella biased towards apple lol.

My understanding is that the difference are 3nm (ARM) vs 10 nm (x86), ARM use RISC; this use instructions that are executed in simple blocks and runs individualy in every cicle of the procesor. On the other hand, x86 use CISC, this runs more complex instructions and one can run in several cicles of the processor, which needs more power. ARM is great because basically have differents "processors" inside and each of those runs an specific instruction and the RAM in this case is in the same "space of instructions", Apple put the RAM closer, which is better. On the other hand, x86 uses all cores for everything, this can be bad or good, it depends on the task and instruction. Nvidia also use ARM and other specific cores for raytracing (RT cores) and AI.

This gets worse if you don't buy top notch devices and go for something like MacBook air Vs i7 laptops (like i7 legion or i7 ASUS TUF). The MacBook air it 50% more expensive. Apple also has nothing to offer below the MacBook air while there are many i5 laptops with half the price if you just need a laptop without gaming or video editing. KZbinrs like to measure everything by video editing while I rarely see people doing video editing, mostly office use and coding for which any i5 laptop will manage.

I was an Apple fan boy for decades, there was no convincing me that PC's and Windows were better than a Mac. I have since made the switch. I got really tired of Apple's closed off and dull systems. There is almost no upgradability unless you order the system upgraded directly from Apple. It almost feels like Apple is trying their hardest to convince the many people that use their products, they are the only way to go when it comest to quality and options. When I switched from my iPhone 14 Pro Max to my Samsung Z-Fold 4, I had a hard time getting my iMac to recognise my phone when I connected it to the computer. When I connected my phone to my Lenovo laptop, Windows Phone Link kicked in and within a few seconds, my computer recognised my phone and I was able to transfer things back and forth with little effort. I have fully moved over to PC's and Android. I have left Apple behind. Full disclosure, my husband is still and probably always will be an Apple Fan Boy, and that's ok.

I think it's more unfair to intentionally handicap the Legion by disabling DLSS. If you're playing on an RTX GPU, you are going to enable DLSS.

I totally agree that players are gonna use DLSS and in some cases ray tracing in real world use, but this isn't necessarily about that(specially cause you mentioned that 'they both perform similarly'), it's about comparing the two machines, and for that you should've gave the exact same scenarios for both machines, just because one can support more graphical features doesn't mean that using them is fair.

The main areas where those two laptops seem to be close are the ones where Apple has the advantage, and the biggest performance differences are where the Lenovo Legion outperforms, and the Lenovo Legion is hardly the best performing Windows laptop. I think the buyers I'd recommend the MacBook Pro to are those doing graphic design or who require a laptop that can perform well on demanding tasks while on battery, and/or require a long battery life.

As a 3D creator, I was pumped about the RTX4090 laptop version, till I discovered it was only 16GB of VRAM. And not to mention the unplugged performance. I work on a PC tour workstation, where I have an RTX 3090 with 24 GB of VRAM, so it is a little missleading at least on the nVidia part to call the laptop version of RTX 4090 the same as the desktop one. On the Macbook, the unified memory looks and work pretty well, but you definitely need to purchase the version with the right amount of RAM, otherwise it becomes a downside.

[@Spladoinkal]

I mean lets be honest: Laptops in general are so powerful and efficient that you can't go wrong either way.

The media engines do the heavy lifting in the video editing timeline but as soon as you start using any 3d or effects it’s gonna start having a harder time.

[@CreatedTech]

You absolutely can compare the two lol... Just because the 4090 has "more teraflops" doesn't mean that translates into real-world performance. You are forgetting the new GPU optimizations in the M3 Max chip, unified memory making all 48GB of RAM available for the M3 Max GPU etc. PugetBench GPU and Effect scores on both After Effects and Premiere Pro were quite close between the two. So yes, they are extremely comparable and choosing a RTX 4050-4060 is not a fair comparison at all.

[@davout5775]

@@YeahTheMitchs I don't think the M3 Ultra would match the RTX 4090 even if both are put in situation where the optimization is the same. It is just that good! Apple needs more time.

[@artificialstyle998]

@@YeahTheMitchsdoes the M3 even beat the 7900XTX or 4080? Intels next Gen of GPU is rumored to have crazy performance gains too. Competition is heating up in the GPU space and that’s a good thing for consumers. Hopefully it forces NVIDIA to innovate because outside of the 4090 and maybe 4080, the rest of their 4000 series has pretty minor gen over gen improvements compared to 3000 series.

[@AlmightyEye]

Apple has no interest in competing with Nvidia. Nvidia only makes one component of a PC, there’s no comparison. Besides, you’re comparing a 450W GPU the size of a VCR, to one 1” x 1” on-board chip that’s a CPU and GPU? To even compare an upcoming 5,000 Series GPU to Apple Silicon is beyond a victory for Apple. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@AlmightyEye Apple needs to compete with Nvidia! I'm not talking about gaming specifically but GPU tasks in general. gaming is hard but everywhere else Apple has a very good chance. So far they are behind

I hate it when people plug in their Laptops to show the performance. If you‘re doing that, just buy a PC for half the price and double the performance. Thanks for taking in account the unplugged performance!!

You need to compare M3 Max with Intel Core Ultra 9 that is coming soon !!!

which uses even more energy... It's already insane, that Apple uses like 3-4x times less energy to do tasks at the same or even better speed.

[@cocoGioia]

Also consider the fact that the M3 MAX uses a quarter of the energy consumed by the mobile RTX 4090+CPU combo and you really understand what Apple can do with its processors even in the gaming sector, if only the developers brought all the games to macOS, now the investment is justified

[@nocommentarygaming2644]

The 4090's efficiency could be much better if you ran it at a lower frequency. I wouldn't be surprised if it could match the M3 Max's efficiency if scaled down to the same performance. Nvidia just pushes their silicon to higher frequencies, making it a lot more inefficient (as power draw exponentially increases with frequency), while Apple takes more transistors but runs them at a much lower clock speed.

The M3 is really impressive, especially considering it’s efficiency. Having said that, I can’t wait for Nvidia’s upcoming ARM APU for PC which I hope will offer the same efficiencies. ARM is the future, and though Windows ARM is a mess with lack of 3rd party support, I hope the future high performance APUs will spur more 3rd party support.

[@PKperformanceEU]

m3max beats 13900KS in matrix mul, SVD, eigendecomp, PRNG, complex 3d render and much more. Basically everything linalg and it wins against every desktop cpu except threadrippers and xeons. Cinebench is the single worst benchmark out there and its sponsored fake shit

[@hajjdawood]

The problem is Microsoft is unwilling to force developers in the right direction. They still support 32 bit apps for christ sake. Apple a long time ago told developers support 64bit or your app won't work and sure enough everyone upgraded to 64 bit and it has since deprecated 32 bit. Now with this transition to ARM on my work laptop only two apps still use Rosetta (Intel optimized apps), both are security software for our IT department. On my personal laptop only Origin (which EA games is moving to Apple Silicone next year), everything else has been recompiled for Apple Silicone. Microsoft doesn't have that sort of control or push on their developers and it is exactly why Windows is the mess that it is.

[@alpzepta]

Nvidia Tegra should be a come back soon to a laptop

[@gazingsky7987]

As someone who works in the game industry. The only reason why MacBook would be better is the optimization and better support from developers. Still wouldn't be better than windows in the end cuz greed. Adobe products works better in a Mac but there's so many apps especially 3D software works better with windows.

[@cybermoja]

MAC with no decent games and non-upgradeable disk and memory, Windows that can process anything that you can throw at it, upgradeable parts and can play all the games that you want. No brainer.

[@anthonysimpson6738]

I think the problem for buying a Mac M3 is Apple anti gaming stance, they simply don’t support enough AAA games. If you want a gaming laptop the choice really is simple a PC. It is a shame. Apple could so much more impress people their laptops are the best by out performing other Windows gaming laptops. The Apple laptops beat PC’s on heat and off battery performance. But with my portable gaming laptop a Asus G14, I want portability not off power performance and I am not really concerned if gets hot. I want the ability to take my gaming laptop on holiday, to friends place or with me and plug it in. So it isn’t a requirement to be on battery. PC chip manufacturers are improving both these features to compete with Apple. I have both Mac and PCs. I prefer my iPhone/iPad for mobile and the privacy of Apple. But for gaming I use a windows Laptop. I actually prefer Windows 11 OS over Mac OS, I loath finder over windows explorer mainly because what I used at work. But Mac OS seems to be clunky intentionally for aesthetic reasons over function. While windows is more functional OS just less aesthetic , just my opinion. If Apple wanted to be my every thing laptop, they have to fix the inability to support ‘all’ AAA gaming. Gaming to be a bigger focus. Fix the Mac OS to be a little more easy to use it needs a big overhaul. But it is exciting times in gaming with the upscaling technology it is quite possible you won’t ever need to buy new hardware because your current hardware will be good enough. With A.I games will become more complex and compelling than currently. Nice review it is difficult to try and compare an Apple to an Orange.

I don’t think Apple is anti gaming, they’re just anti third party development (because they’re greedy) and they realize that most of their consumers don’t care for gaming anyways, meaning that they don’t have to spend money on third party titles

MacBook and a Desktop Pc is the best combo. The fact that you need to be plugged in to get the most out of your “portable” laptop drives me crazy.

that's what I got, high end windows desktop in my house for some heavy deeplearning and gaming stuff, and MacBook Pro on the go for video editing and content consuming. when I got home, I just plug in my Macbook alone side my pc.

For me its not. In my desktop pc, everything is so snappy and fast whereas in my m1 pro macbook i feel it has unnecessary slow animations even with 120hz panel. I also get more things done on desktop pc. I wanna switch back to light non gaming windows laptop now.

​@@AlphaWitcherThe display itself is very slow in pixel response times. It only responds to what is equivalent to about 30Hz despite the refreshrate being 120Hz. It's really bad in motion performance & smears so badly an okay VA panel will appear "fast".

@@MLWJ1993 maybe that's why despite MacBook pro being 120hz I don't find it remotely even smooth as my 2k 165hz desktop monitor. But i can feel the smoothness on my 120hz phone screen.

Windows laptops with Core ULTRA without dGPU and Windows desktop is best combo.

[@nadtz]

Windows already runs on ARM and it probably wont be long before AMD/Nvidia get chips out that will run Windows (along with Qualcomm) for the masses so it's not really rip Windows, more like a shift to ARM for low power devices for Windows finally. Got to give credit to Apple for doing it well, regardless of how much I wouldn't buy Apple hardware personally.

[@gus6180]

The efficiency is mostly due to turbo mode on the windows machine but if that was disabled the cpu power usage would be quite similar.
