Intel 10750h vs Apple M1

[majormike]

What do you think about getting the 10750h instead of the Apple M1 since it scores equally well in cinebench, maybe 1% lower than the M1? They come with Razer Laptops.

I'm on windows right now since 2016 but wouldn't mind getting an apple laptop again.

I do also appreciate the Razer's upgradable ram and ssd.

If your use case can be done on macOS, take a Mac.

If it can’t be done on macOS, take a PC.

Yes, M1 is fast. Yes, M1 and macOS are embedded into each other better rhan any other OS in this world, but it’s a lot more about your workflow than a chip.

I do also appreciate the Razer's upgradable ram and ssd.

Useless. Just take the good amount of SSD at buying time and forget it. Take 16 GB unified memory and forget it. It’s been a long time Apple users do this.

And on the PC side, I don’t like Razer... a good laptop PC is a Dell Latitude/Precision or Lenovo Thinkpad. Unless you are a gamer, Razer is for gamers, not serious people.

I had worked with Apple from 2006 to 2016 with music production and switched to Windows due to their lack of pro support and overpriced hardware but the M1 seems like a step in the right direction again. Although i wish they'd allow you to install custom NVmes, they don't take much space away unlike ram :/ I'm looking at my macbook air from 2014.

I wish they'd do more tests with things such as Avid's Pro Tools which I use and Adobe Premiere for example.

My main rig currently is an AMD 5950x.

The i7-10750h seems to be a mobile variant of what I'm using, the 10700. Geekbench 5 for the 10750h is 1146/5525 while the M1 is 1743/7642 so you are giving away a lot of single-core performance and moderate multi-core performance. The 10750h is a 45 watt part so almost double the M1 for power but that's actually pretty good.

I prefer Dell for Windows PCs and Laptops. My daughter says that Razor has QC and sometimes design issues - moreso than their premium branding should have.

Do you care about battery life? It's a 45 W part that bursts between 55W to 80W. The M1 is faster and is a <10W part. Cinebench is useful but seems like it has been heavily optimized for Intel. In many cases the Intel part beats a faster AMD CPU in Cinebench too.

You're right about the battery part but i disagree with your Intel optimization. All the 4600, 4800 and 4900 beat the Intel mobile processors by a big margin.
