A neat video as always! Some thoughts if I may: 1. Load up some more stressful tests in Blender. While Party Tug is great, we're splitting hairs over a second or so per frame. Throw Classroom, Gooseberry, or practically anything else for a good Blender test that takes minutes and it'd be nice to see how the machines perform. 2. Would you re-test the Davinci Resolve export without the low battery throttle? Not that I don't doubt the Mac would still win, but it would be neat to see a fair time. 3. Maybe load up a couple games that are available cross-platform (FFXIV's benchmark) or other than 3D Mark. While the 3D Mark suite is good, it's still simulating a game vs loading and engaging with a real one. Otherwise since you cover all the awesome hardware, it'll be cool to see the mobile version of Alder Lake 12th Gen Intel since they have supposedly made some great strides against Apple and AMD! Keep it up!

You could however be right that the headphones are closer but i would like to believe that @maxtech would have done the test prior to filming the video with the results being more or less the same.

I just got the base 3050 SLS since it's $400 off. $1700 for the model (in video) vs the $2700 model with 32gb ram and 1tb storage. I was originally going to get the iPad pro but didn't like the idea of being limited to the app store. Works perfect whether I'm signing docs, playing games or sketching a new idea. I'm also replacing the slow windows m.2 SSD with a Samsung 970.

I’m curious how well the iPad works in the apple ecosystem with the MacBook.
@qvattr0 2 жыл бұрын
@@cavincurrin362 The iPad interacts with the ecosystem (that includes a MacBook) quite... well. The primary benefits you'll be reaping are generally associated with connectivity and ease of transition between the devices. To be more precise, you get iCloud on both devices (assuming that you use it), and can essentially transfer work between the devices easily. For instance, I use Notability on my iPad to take notes for my courses, and having access to my notes on my MacBook through iCloud syncing (Notability is also available on macOS) has been convenient. I use other Apple native apps (Calendar, notes, etc.) too, but the story is the same for those. I must however mention that the iCloud feature can be replicated (for non-native Apple apps like Notability) on a Windows machine by just using Google Drive (or other cloud storage platform of preference), albeit at the cost of minor convenience. The other benefit that might not apply to you is the capacity of using more powerful versions of applications that are available on iPadOS/iOS (the ones I use are Spark and Things 3). Having the capability of using these applications both on the laptop and the iPad (trading feature-set and speed of usage for mobility) is quite pleasant. If someone, who's indifferent towards macOS and Windows OS, asked me if getting a MacBook Pro is worth it for the aforementioned benefits, I'd be quite hesitant to respond (although I'm quite skewed towards the new MacBook Pros as they've become an extremely good package compared to the previous iterations). There is, however, one feature that I would recommend the MacBook Pro for: sidecar. It's essentially a feature that allows you to use a compatible iPad (fortunately, your iPad Air 4 is compatible, but double check just in case) as a second screen for your MacBook (wired or wirelessly). I've been using it for the last week and have been very happy with the productivity boost that it offers me. I'll mention that I'm an engineering student who also studies physics; as such, some of the things we do might overlap. Sidecar was the reason behind why I got a MacBook Pro (new gen, I wouldn't recommend going for Intel alternatives). I own a Razer Blade Pro, and before the purchase, carried it around the campus and the lack of a second monitor was quite annoying. I tried to find a software solution on Windows, but most were very unreliable and inferior compared to Sidecar (not to mention the ease with which you can start Sidecar on macOS) I suppose Focus deserves a mention too as it's been quite convenient having it activate across all my devices, but it is a very small benefit.

The Macbook Air's a great portable machine but the fonts aren't as clear on my external 27 in Dell Ultrasharp as they are on the Surface Book 3. It's subjective but I also strongly prefer the keyboard on the Surface Book 3. The Mac trackpad is better but the Surface Book 3's is perfectly fine. I also miss the Surface's touchscreen and Windows Hello on the Mac.

The choice is kind of clear for me: * If you need a productivity laptop, both are great, but the higher quality screen, better speakers, more efficent hardware, and a $100 gap, I think the macbook it's clearly the best... Unless your workflow depends on native Windows/Linux or on the x86 architecture. * If you need a portable gaming laptop, go for the surface one, no matter how great these M1 Pros/Max are, the fact we don't have native games running on macos or M1 architecture makes windows laptops the best option for gaming. I know developers could port their games to macs, but maybe not worth for most of them (since all serious gamers use windows), at least not now, and it could take several years from now to see a decent gaming library running natively on macos. TL;DR Productivity => MacBook Pro* ; Gaming => Surface Laptop * It depends on your workflow

Entirely correct ....but you could have said " if you have constraints, that mean you don't have a choice - then go with the SLS. If you have fewy limitations, it is a no-brainer. You can go with the MacBook. It is a better machine for the same money." haha. In truth, I can't argue with you. I have an SLS and have some constraints, so I am happy with it. I really love this PC. I will NEVER again get a PC that doesn't have touch or pen input. I won't do it. Having those is so powerful when you need them. I don't use them, only sometimes, but when I need to, there they are, which is fantastic. Moving the screen to watch shows etc., is fab, and when you pull the screen forward, it enhances the bass a great deal making watching things more immersive. It is a svelt package, and I love carrying it around using it. I had a surface book2 I thought I would use until my hands were cold and stubby. I really liked using that machine. It was awesome. However, I like the SLS even more. Problem: Battery life. After saying all I have said above - I would contemplate moving over specifically and exclusively for battery life. Battery anxiety is real, and I can't stand it. This PC needs to last longer. That is a fact. It just does. I get about 3-6 hrs with it, which is just not enough. Something has to be done with Windows PCs. Battery life is a killer.

Awesome comparison Max I really respect your unbiased comparisons. The M1 is undoubtedly a performance beast and that is where it excels at. I would say, however, that unless you are a video editor the Surface is the most complete machine. Surface Studio is about versatility, it's about allowing you to use touch and pen input. If you don't care about these, the mac is better. For me however, I can imagine getting a device without touch in 2021. I'm a photographer who dables in design and a little video editing, so the Surface is perfect for me. Not to mention that I can do some side gaming on the surface as well which is a great bonus.
