[@Shubham-b]

Even after giving unfair advantage to Microsoft laptops (plugged in) they are still getting smoked by MacBook Air. In my opinion comparing laptops by keeping them plugged in literally defeats the purpose of a laptop which is portability.

Imagine a 16” MBP with 12-16 CPU cores (8-12 of which are P-cores) and 64 GPU cores (yes, 64, as the 8 core GPU in the current M1 Macs is already power sipping and Apple will have no problem scaling up the GPU cores to that level in their 16”, as that one’s cooling capacity is 80W and it has a 100WHr battery).

Great review 💯

[@Val-kp6fs]

Just got my MacBook Air M1- just the standard upgrade option- 8 gb ram, 512 gb ssd, 8 core gpu & 8 cpu and I have to say Im pretty disappointed w how bad the camera is. I used it to FaceTime and it’s so blurry. That’s the first comment the person I was FT said too. Other than that love it tho.

[@jizzzilo]

Same. I wish it at least looked like the camera on photo booth :/ Hopefully they can fix it with a new OS update .

That's what you call a great review not like other videos where they just read specs with no real world performance test. Great job

[@cin2110]

they didn't even disclosure what processors they used in the windows laptops they could be the lowest specs for making macbook look good because I know for a fact new ryzen laptops get much higher benchmark scores than this

Can I ask it’s 8gb ram it’s better for multi tasks ? Or like windows will be little? I’m coming from windows and would like to get Mac air or pro I don’t know !

[@keiryanwilson]

Keep in mind, the MacBook is not only unplugged, it’s also *fanless*. What Apple has achieved here thermally to sustain that level of performance is nothing short of remarkable. 💯

[@racistpixel1017]

no its not what apple achieved, its what arm achieved... arm allows fan less systems and superior quality. literally any arm chip in the market is runing without a fan... apple silicone is 80% made from boroved arm tech.

[@racistpixel1017]

@mike mcmike say what? im saying that battery and no fan on m1 is thanks to arm not apple... show me arm device with a fan and bad battery life... ita funny to see apple sheeps raging over simple things... even so m1 is not the most powerfull cpu out there... i might be owned by apple sheeps who will say anything to protect they'r precious apple

[@prebenjaeger]

@mike mcmike Windows is a serious operating system, so it's not so simple just switching to ARM based CPUs which would cause trouble with legacy x86 software.

[@jaywhite15_AL]

@@racistpixel1017 First it's silicon. Second Apple is an Architectural Licensee since they were one of the founding companies that made it. They don't have to do anything or pay anyone to modify the chip design. They can do what they want with it. Educate yourself.

[@racistpixel1017]

@@jaywhite15_AL you told me nothing new, but its good you read wikipedia, yat its a long time while apple dont work with arm, they just modified current arm architecture, 99% done not by apple, and apple not a founder, they joined a competitor and changed a name not to sound like a competitor. they realy did so little for arm, project that was canceled when they had to sell arm shares since of bankruptcy...

[@craigg4246]

You forgot to mention the battery life for each machine? Can either of the Windows machines even run half as long as the MBA?

[@davidlzda9324]

I was wondering about the superior color contrast on M1 the whole time ...

[@ckingpro]

Problem with AMD processor is that it is the last gen Zen 2 processor while Intel has the newest 11th gen. Zen 3 improved single threaded performance quite a bit. That said M1 is crazy good regardless

[@fopogo1692]

M1X or M2 is going to be released soon

[@bogodoyandex9654]

but if you ignore that amd is 8core ,intel only using 4core. what a shame....

[@bogodoyandex9654]

that mean tigerlake-h will destroy amd zen3. amd zen3 multicore performance just tiny improve from zen 2

[@bogodoyandex9654]

intel still have chance to catch up m1, when they using 8core cpu. but amd not,they already using their best, still far behind compare m1.

[@hobobbobho]

Isn't the performance on battery somewhat up to the OEM? I recall intel had that ad about AMD throttling but was really sketchy about only choosing Lenovo laptops for the stats when comparing to intel equivalents. Maybe some laptops with these chips may not throttle at the expense of battery life?
