I have had a 14 inch MacBook Pro before (M1 Pro 14 inch) and I couldn't get used to the size, for me it was in an awkward position where it was too small to be useful as a laptop on its own).

I even bought an open box m5 pro 14 inch just there to see if I could get used to it but I just can't. For video editing I just find the screen too small.

I'm not interested in PC laptops, I've tried waiting around for them to do something useful but they're just too far behind Apple for the work I do at this point.
The new ones will more than likely blow the m series macbooks out of the water for speed. But you have to put up with Ai everywhere all at once.

If you are only interested in mac products, you are in the wrong forum as well. ha ha.

For video editing, I doubt it.

I could see them smashing apple for heavy GPU stuff though.
 
Based on what info?

In any event, I don't need the absolute maximum power, I miss the apple ecosystem so I just don't use my desktop PC for that reason. I have no time to game.
Based on reports from various outlets. We will wait and see but they will be way more powerful than any current windows laptop available now. They will have 5070 level GPU performance plus way faster CPU / NPU performance as well.

I'd think that a 5080/5090 Laptop would be faster CUDA/Game performance than Spark.
 
Because it's the same as m series vs the current systems now. The rtx spark systems are going to be the fastest windows PCs available
There's a number of X86 processors that currently outperform the M series processors today, why do you think this ARM based processor will do that?

Do you have benchmarks to show that its going to be the fastest computer?

So this spark is going to have the same GPU processing power as a discrete RTX5090?

Yes I do think this new processor is going to beat those x86 processors
 
Ok, but since its not out yet, I'm reserving judgement until I see the actual benchmarks. I thought you had seen the benchmarks.

I take what Nvidia states with grain of salt, they've been caught lying (or at least stretching the truth).
No no. going by what other people who were looking at them at the electronic shows. We will see. I hope they deliver.
 
Wouldn't you run into the same x86 compatibility issues with the nVidia CPU?
Yes, I am thinking you would, Supposedly their systems are so good that emulation has no speed effect on the pc. I have decided just to get the Dell 14s with x7 Ultra processor and call it a day. Save a few grand on the system that I can use to put a new 4tb 5.0 SSD in.
