Quote from: Grateful on November 09, 2024, 13:58:45Love or hate apple, there is one thing you've got to admit.

This is going to absolutely make both strix point and Snapdragon x elite laptop prices tank. They can no longer continue to charge absurd $1600+ pricing after just seeing the performance per watt displayed here.

Especially the GPU, nothing comes close. RTX 4050 level dgpu performance but with igpu battery life is truly astounding! Why wait for just as expensive strix halo with similar level performance but with worse battery life when it's pretty much already here?

The only thing that still sucks is their GPU drivers. You can see in Cyberpunk benchmark @ ultra it gets decent FPS but when going to low there's barely any change in FPS. Should be much high there.

Hoping asahi linux with improved GPU driver support will fix these issues but that probably won't happen until years later as I don't believe they plan to support M4 anytime soon.
M4pro 14/20core is high TDP 4070m lvl STOP discrediting apple!!

Quote from: Konstantinos on November 08, 2024, 21:51:42It'a funny that a laptop with 1/3 of the price is better than this Macbook Pro:

Asus-VivoBook-S-14-OLED Ryzen 9 HX-370

Better OLED screen with 100 Adobe color, fast responce times.

Better battery life with 16.5 hours web usage.

Similar CPU performance with the smaller M4 Pro 12 core.

Only GPU is slower, but if you care about games you wouldn't buy a Macbook anyway. Or you can get the Strix Halo in couple of months with better GPU.



f*** you garbage x86 fanboy KILL YOURSELF!! M4pro is 60-80% faster than shitty G16! HX370 And there is nothing you can do about it FANBOY CLOWN!!!!!
You picked the most unfair x86 biased, emulated on arm64 with zero arm64 intrins R23 the biggest clown benchmark that only ignorant faggots like you use to justify your shitty underdeveloped x86 crap's performance which it doesn't have any!!! GEEKBENCH6 M4pro 23000, HX370 14500.
Your shitty S14 doesn't even come close to a binned M2pro or a 13900H, let alone a M4pro.
Even the 10core vanilla M4 smokes that crap zen5 by a mile!
Nobody falls for your bullshit biased claims, SPEC CPU 2017, SPEChpc2021 and Geekbench6.3 matter ONLY!!!

Snapdragon X Elite (or any variant) was overpriced on release.
It's overpriced currently.
It'll be overpriced in the future.

I would take a Tablet, a Chromebook, A macbook, or *any* Intel or AMD based device over anything Windows-on-ARM.  Because COMPATIBILITY.  At least those devices work with software designed for the Operating system.

Windows-on-ARM is a BROKEN Environment.  Unless you keep yourself to a very small environment that is extremely gatekept and zero support otherwise.

Stop trying to make Windows-on-ARM a thing.  It has never been a thing and never will be a thing.

You are right with the rest, toto, but this is not entirely true tbh:

Quote from: toto1234 on November 16, 2024, 13:13:38Apple are luxury products.
They managed to transform a tech product (which by essence, is ephemeral) into a luxury and social status product. Kudos to them, it's quite a business achievement, no one can take that away from them.
First colour TVs, extremely expensive luxury products. Or let's go into less distant past, Nintendo's SNES, I remember that very well as I was a kid back then. Sega Mega, Amiga, Commodore etc. were all "for poor people", SNES was so popular but rare (because it was literally a luxury product) that everything was full of blatant copies of it (and I still own one of those). Then let's go into laptops, Sony Vaio line, pure luxury products back in the 2000s and very early 2010s). Apple is just the most recent brand in a long line of such products and that's just tech, there is plenty of those in all other fields (wristwatches for example).

You on the other hand, have a hard time discerning high quality, from luxury.

Apple are luxury products.

But $400 for 24Gb of RAM and $1000 for 4Tb of SSD, is not high quality. It's simply extortion.

I stopped using Apple products years ago, precisely when they made the transition from good product, to overpriced luxury products.

I cant post link but you can check on youtube "Most POWERFUL Mini in the world right now" by Alex Ziskind. M2 Pro vs HX 370 and in many tests its a lot closer than you would expect.

Personally I tested M1 Pro  against my other laptop(Ryzen 5800h) on java project and it was noticeably faster too.

Its funny how people dont see that for quality you always pay a lot more than there is difference compared to 'normal quality'. You can drive Volsvagen Golf and it will in most cases be almost as good and comfortable(you are sitting after all, not forced to stand, right?) as Mercedes s400. Same is with phones.You can buy flagship phone or lets say Poco X6 Pro for 20% price. And in most situations there will be no difference.

Same is with your comparison. Sure Vivobook is almost as good, but there is noticeable difference in many aspects of laptop compared to Macbook.
1. We cant pick benchmarks like some people want. A lot smarted than us guys developed Cinebench R24 or Geekbench. And no, they were not paid by Apple. You may be surprised that in many use cases scenarios Apple chips have huge lead - for  example compilation of programs is A LOT faster than even Geekbench is telling us.
2. Its hard to notice ghosting on screen if you are not gaming. Sure, its not proper 120hz screen but its okey, notch is bigger problem.

Quote from: Batuhan on November 11, 2024, 14:45:55Where is hx 370 laptop for 700 dolar?
M4 pro  cpu is 50 percent faster single core 35 percent faster for multi core  .for 200 dolar you can get 14 core version and it is 50 percent faster
16core gpu is 60 percent faster 20 core gpu has double the performance of 890m .
İn gaming it is rtx 4050m and other stuff it is like rtx 4070 mobile
Basicaly same batery life
Hx 370 is m4 level cpu


It is not my fault if you can't see the reality:

Asus Vivobook S14 OLED (1400 Euro) vs MacBook Pro M4 (3989 Euro)

1.  Screen: Vivobook better, full Adobe color, faster response 1.3 msec vs 77 msec (you can't even move the mouse without ghosting, forget about playing games)!
2.  Mobility: Vivobook better, lighter, with longer battery times (16.5 hours vs 15.7 hours MacBook M4 Pro)
3.  Price: Vivobook Better 1400 Euro vs 3989 Euro = 2.9 times cheaper!!
4.  CPU performance: almost equal with the highest M4 Pro (14 core) (Cinebench R23 Vivobook 21058 vs M4 Pro 14 core 23433) M4 Pro 14 core only 11% faster, The smaller M4 Pro 12 ore is slower tha the Vivobook.
5.  GPU performance: Macbook faster but not so much as syntheic benchmarks show. AMD game drivers are much more mature and MacBook screen is terrible with ghosting at 80msec response. E.g. Cyberpunk 2077 hiest preset: MacBook 39 FPS vs Vivobook 29 FPS. Neither are good for gaming but ok for casual games.

Only a fanatic would not see that Vivobook is much better especially at 1/3 of the price!!!

When will you start posting tests of autonomy on YouTube so that every reader can see with their own eyes the real discharge of the battery in different loads?

3DMark Wild Life Extreme Unlimited measures 3D graphics and performs like 4070 Laptop.

Cinebench 2024 - GPU is said to be dubious; M4 Pro performs 21% slower.

For the other non-3D-gaming tests, there are no comparisons between M4 Pro and 4070 Laptop.

Therefore, there are only very few tests so far and it is a gross exaggeration to claim equal performance for [all] "other stuff"!

As has already been said, so far tests focus almost only on 3D gaming or Apple-exclusive benchmarks.

Yes drivers are issue but rap power is amazing. İt is at level of rtx 4070 is Most test. Native cyberpunk 2077 also coming. İt will be starting point of mac gaming

Quote from: Joe galamb on November 09, 2024, 00:18:36I had a 2024 Zephyrus G14 OLED at home next to my M1 Pro MacBook Pro 14 and I preferred the Mac's screen. Its colours are just more natural. And in HDR, it destroyed the Asus's OLED. The latter was not enough bright, was oversaturated, and its "perfect OLED blacks" were more like blue.
An actual comedian. OLED blacks are black - because those pixels are turned off completely.

Yeah, when Apple does OLED (e.g. on my iPad Pro), they are 100% black. But when some random Chinese manufacturer, you will face compromises. Like when there is some reflective layer behind the pixels which will shine blue... Excuse me that I believe my eyes and not some random smartass on the internet!
