A $599 laptop with a mobile processor performs better than many high-end Windows laptops!
By HappyFox759 · DISCUSSION · About MacBook Pro M4
Yes, it’s just a browser benchmark test but that’s what many people use everyday , a browser!
Update: My statement is specific to Browser Benchmark Test (Speedometer 3.1) [https://browserbench.org/Speedometer3.1/](https://browserbench.org/Speedometer3.1/)
Update: I visited the Apple Store today and got to see the MacBook Neo in person. In the short time I had, I ran the Speedometer benchmark, inspected the build quality and webcam, and opened a few apps to test their launch speed. The machine is stunning and actually performs better than I expected. As someone who uses an MBP M4 Pro and has experience with many PC laptops—including one I still use at work—I’ll stand by my original claim: the MacBook Neo outperforms any Windows laptop I’ve used, even some high-end models, in browser benchmarks. It also beats pre-M4 Macs in these tests. I didn’t run any other benchmarks, though.

SwiftMaker952: Better than high end windows laptops, no.
Better than all windows laptops at the same price or $200 more, yes
SwiftCoder4821: > high end windows laptops
Ok respectfully I have been a Mac user for ages now and this is a reach. It's a great laptop and is more computer than you can ever ask for at the price point, but let's not glaze it to oblivion.
SarahKim: My M4 Max got a 52 on Safari, I find this photo highly suspicious =p
