    Apple's M1 MacBook Pro has been impressing us ever since we've got it, but Razer has created their own productivity laptop for the first time ever.
    So far, the Razer Book 13 is super impressive, with a great design and a new 16:10 display.
    The Razer Book 13 features Intel's latest 11th-gen chip featuring Intel XE graphics.
    They've also fixed a lot of the issues that we complained about in our previous videos, so it's time to put it up against the M1 MacBook Pro.
    In this comparison, we test and compare everything from the design, the displays, the speakers, the keyboards, the trackpads, performance, and much more!

      The thing is the difference in cpu performance between the core i5 1135G7 and the core i7 1165G7 is only 4 megabytes of cache and 12% higher clocks. The main difference between the two chips is the higher graphics performance of the core i7 1165G7. That dosen't change a thing though. The M1 is still impressive. But was jut pointing out that the cpu performance difference between the core i5 1135G7and the core i7 1165G7 is not that high

    Reviewers should emphasize battery performance and capabilities unplugged more. It’s why we buy laptops.
    If the Razor had won every performance benchmark it would still be a no for me with only 6-7 hrs of battery life. I know my checklist is different than others but I will look at bezels and all the other stuff after I see how much it weighs and how long will it perform. If I’m stuck without power and it’s dead, it’s useless

    @2:55 The mac can open and log on also if you have the apple watch. Or the new face recognition that was talked about during the product launch. Should have mention it.

      you can also change settings to allow Mac to open directly to desktop when waking up... an easy one time preference change.

      @@Monty_BeGoodToEachOther True, but he mentions that the razor uses "Windows Hello" which is a face recognition tech that logs user in. So the equivalent are those two techs that I previously mentioned.

    Thank you guys for your honest comparisons! Using almost a week brand new MacBook Pro M1 16/256 Gb and I've never heard a fan and it's almost always cool. I am a mobile developer using framework Flutter, my "old" MacBook Pro 15" 2018 16/512 Gb could live only for 2-3 hours on a battery and new one - 15 hours!!!

      That’s true there a are more than a few programs I use that have no date to if and when they will even support the M1 so that’s a big one for me. This includes trading software, and even some editing programs I am waiting for on the M1.

      In the end I didn't get the Razer Book as I couldn't really get it from anywhere local. I settled on a Dell Inspiron 7610 which is a productivity laptop with a dedicated RTX 3050/3060 GPU (I didn't get the Dell XPS because I don't have that kind of money, however I'm liekly to be getting a second hand Macbook for music). So far I have found it very good however I must warn that if anyone decides do buy this with an optional free Windows 11 update, I might wait because Windows 11 is super buggy right now. Everytime I plug in headphones, the whole computer flips out-the audio preferences get screwed up and the trackpad actually just stops working. The computer is great but Windows 11 is not.

    What if you want to do Oculus Link with the M1 or play Steam games? The M1 does video editing and several other things well, but it is still limited by available software.

    Cursed by Intel. Might have been a challenge for the M1 if it was an AMD. Sad that that's the best a Windows experience can get at this segment, price point, and build quality. I look forward to see if more manufacturers use AMD in premium builds in 2021

    The laptops should not be plugged in, there is a reason we buy laptops, and this is so we don’t have a wire or so we can get work done on the move...
    The test should be unplugged, then if you as an after thought you should be saying, if you happen to have access to a power outlet then this is what power you could possible have!
    Not the other way around!
