And you can only do that accurately over some period of time, and ideally in real-world conditions. You need to use products to fully understand them. Benchmarks don’t measure real life, but they’re also lazy. I’m also delighted that Intel is far more interested in real-world usage than it is in benchmarks because that’s where I land as a reviewer.

But I don’t feel that there’s much the PC world can learn from Apple’s success here, since the two markets are so different. And that may be interesting to you, or not, based on your experiences and predilections. That is, what Apple has accomplished with its M1 silicon is indeed impressive, but whatever advances it brings to the Mac don’t really change the equation when it comes to choosing between that platform and a PC: At the end of the day, an M1-based Mac is still just a Mac. For now, I’ll just say that I’m delighted that Intel is finally standing up to the tsunami of news coverage that the first M1-based Macs have generated and appears to be in the same place I am now that M1 dust has settled, so to speak.

I’ll be discussing that aspect of this comparison next.

To its credit, Intel has remained hands-off during this process, aside from a virtual meeting in which the company explained its stance on Apple’s M1 silicon and its use in new Macs, and how it feels that Intel-based PCs products compare.

And I feel like it’s time to offer up some preliminary observations of how the two compare.įirst, I need to fully disclose how I found myself in this position: Intel contacted me-and, I assume, other reviewers-about performing independent comparisons of one or more Intel Evo-based portable PCs with an M1-based MacBook Pro. And as my experience grows, so too does my opinion. But I’ve been reviewing portable computers for over 20 years, and each time I interact with that kind of device, I’m silently sizing it up and identifying its advantages and disadvantages. Two weeks isn’t enough time to fully review products such as these, of course. The new model includes a larger battery, Intel’s 11th generation processors, a removable SSD and LTE.For the past two weeks, I’ve been using an Intel Evo-based Razer Book 13 and an Apple M1-based MacBook Pro, pitting the two head-to-head in various ways.

This latest ad also focuses on the older Surface Pro 7, which has now been replaced by the Surface Pro 7 Plus at least for businesses and schools. Microsoft has previously compared its Surface Pro to the MacBook Air, beating Macs in general, and found a man called Mac Book to tell people to buy a Surface Laptop. The Surface Pro 7 is barely able to run the latest PC games at acceptable frame rates with its integrated Intel graphics, so it’s not its biggest selling point. “It’s a much better gaming device,” the ad claims, which is an unusual way of portraying Microsoft’s popular Surface device. Apple is now reportedly planning a redesign for the MacBook Pro later this year, with the Touch Bar reportedly being replaced by physical function keys.Įlsewhere in the ad, Microsoft is trying to position the Surface Pro 7 as a gaming device. That’s something some MacBook Pro users have been asking for, or just to get rid of the Touch Bar altogether. “Mac gave me this little bar, but why can’t they just give me a whole touchscreen?” a boy asks, comparing the two laptops.

#Microsoft mocks apple doomed touch bar tv

It’s an opportunity for Microsoft to mock Apple’s Touch Bar for the first time in a TV commercial. In a new TV commercial, aired during Sunday night’s NFL championship games, Microsoft pits Apple’s MacBook Pro against the company’s Surface Pro 7. Microsoft has a habit of rekindling the conflict between Mac and PC for its Surface ads, and this time it’s going after Apple’s Touch Bar.
