>>108505932The shape of that table is bothering me.
>>108505932My work laptop recently got upgraded to an older lunar lake one and it's amazingNear zero lag and it runs cool to the touch under load unlike the previous alderlake based craptopIntel's been cooking up some really good mobile socs lately
>>108506081It's a silk sheet
>>108505932its backlooks insideit losing vs m5 in every other benchmark/import/export test hes done in that videodespite having 2x tdp of M5 and active coolingBattery life is nice tho, maybe its due to vrr, wish apple put vrr screen in next mba

>>108505932That's neat and all but I still prefer the big fat precision 7000 series that has two fans and only lasts 4 hours on battery. Battery life is not one of my priorities. I wanna plug in and have it run cool and quiet all day with no FUCKING throttling which all thin laptops do.
>>108506163if you want performance you get a workstation with 8x ram and vram and storageif you want efficiency you get a xps. not sure why, since in 1st world countries you have electrical sockets pretty much everywhere. i haven't heard one person irl looking for more than half a workday battery life which is something non-macs can pull easily anyway."performance in a dozen ARM apps" is not something people actively are looking for. it's a completely ijeet meme. the world runs on x86.
>>108506163>it losing vs m5It has a mid-range Intel chip on 18A while the M5 is using TSMC's N3P.
>>108505932Kinda cool, I wonder if the VRR is supported if you installed Linux on it.
>>108506565xps cost something like 1500USD (mba 15 inch m5 from video is cheaper, i think its something like 1200USD, or 1300USD),it has 2x TDP of M5, it has active cooling. It wins only in battery life test and its due to vrr screen and some kind of meme browser test where it can sits at 1fps 90% of time. Im not even sure if its due to raw power or just windows and creative apps there are so poluted by jeets and ai coding that they drag that intel down. Intel chips are surprisingly good, hardware is good, design is good, shame that jeetcrosoft had to shit on everything with ads, copilot, bugs and retarded web apps
>>108505932from my experience the mac still has a much better battery life when compiling c/c++ code. Idk why but usually my dell gives up within 4h while the m1 can keep up for 7h. Thats the only reason to use it otherwise linux is easier to setup these days sadly windows has a lot of weird bugs like the A key not working for some reason.
still buying a macbook
>>108506163X264/x265 encoding?
>>108505932no laptop has ever had more than 8 hourse of battery life. if you actually use it that is. linux 3-4h, windows 5-6, mac max 8.
>>108506838Chromebooks could couch potato browse for half a day a decade ago.
>>108506831dont remmember, watched it 2-3 days ago without really paying too much attention, check hardware canucs chanel. He ran few benchmarks and then tested it in few creative apps, gap in benchmarks wasnt that high, probably due to lack of cooling on mba, but gap in apps was sometimes huge. If that encoding is something u are looking for and apple does not support or support poorly intel should win. >>108506838when devices were under load it had half of battery life of mba (simillar size battery, 30w vs 15 tdp, cant beat laws of physics)
>>108506918You can just power throttle the Panther Lake.
>>108506466>"performance in a dozen ARM apps" is not something people actively are looking for. it's a completely ijeet meme.macfags don't look for performance because it comes as standard especially in the higher tier macs. it's hard to describe in words because it should be the baseline, and it's bizarre that when i get an idea i can whip out the mac and have desktop performance anytime anywhere to do whatever.for me the "computer room" became homogenized with the outside and with a mac u can compute wherever u want the main issue with apple is that it makes u gay like all the other fags using it
>>108505932>slower than the M5>priced like the M5 pro>2 hours under heavy load vs 5 hoursx86 lost
