hey guys this is Vadim with max tech and right here I have razors new blade
stealth 13-inch the 2020 model this actually has the gtx 1650 TI max q
edition and this is apple's 2020 13 inch MacBook Pro this is the eighteen hundred
dollar model with 16 gigs of RAM 512 gigs of storage compared to the 2000
dollar model this actually has the 4k display with 16 gigs and 512 as well so
in this video we're gonna be comparing everything about these laptops the
keyboards the track pads the design the ports the performance displays basically
everything to find out which one you should be buying in 2020 so the first
thing we're gonna start off with is comparing the size between these two if
I put them on top they're actually really really close it seems like the
razor is just slightly wider and a little bit less tall however if you're
looking at it from this angle you could definitely tell that the razor is quite
a bit more thick now what I really like about these two laptops is the unibody
aluminum design so this feels really high quality very premium all the way
around even the hinge all metal and same thing with the razor you got metal
basically everywhere except actually this hinge I think yep this is actually
plastic on the hinge so the only thing is that this black finish I don't know
if you guys can see from that camera or from the side it's a fingerprint magnet
I'm seeing so many fingerprints and like literally just started this video
compared to this is more resilient like you can't tell with fingerprints as much
the MacBook definitely has a more stealthy designed with these vents kind
of over on the edges compared to the razor where you can see the grilles and
a thing I'm worried about with this is is that if you're using this on your lap
I think it has a much bigger chance of kind of overheating not getting that
good of airflow because these fans are right here now let's go ahead and open
up these displays now the cool thing about the razor is that it actually has
Windows hello so there you go just logged me in just by scanning my face
which is really nice and the MacBook just has regular touch ID now the first
thing I'm gonna do is take off these very annoying stickers oh that does not
come off easily either oh wow looks like you're gonna
have to like scratch this off or something now one thing I actually
forgot to compare real quick is the ports on the MacBook Pro on this side we
have a headphone jack and we have two Thunderbolt three ports and on the other
side we get another two thin about three ports now on the Razr we actually just
get one venerable three on this side along with a regular USB a and then back
on the other side we have a regular USB see another USB a and a headphone jacks
so you definitely get a better variety of ports with the razor because you have
that USB a compared to just the USB C style on the MacBook Pro but one thing
that really bugs me about the razor is the massive bottom bezel right here like
there's so much room here it's completely wasted they could have put in
a bigger display a different aspect ratio maybe sixteen by ten just to get a
little bit more spacer because look at this just huge block that's just totally
unused now I do see the point of having a sixteen by nine display just for
gaming because this is a gaming focused laptop so it's the best optimized for
games now let's go ahead and compare the keyboards between these two the new
MacBook Pro has the new style of magic keyboards so it definitely has a lot
more key travel than before it completely destroys the little butterfly
keyboard and I like that it has the key travel and it has a more kind of tactile
feel with more feedback than before however using this keyboard on the razor
I don't know what what it is about it but I really really like it I'd say I
definitely liked it more than the MacBook it feels really good has a lot
of key travel and it definitely has a nice amount of feedback as well now one
more thing about the MacBook is the touch bar which it has it's different
use cases and different things you can do with it but unfortunately a lot of
people don't really like it they'd rather have the old function keys like
you get with the razor I personally do not like the touch bar I'm glad that you
have a physical Escape key now but I'd much rather have those function keys
because I hate topping around there and sometimes it doesn't register so
physical keys are always the best in my opinion however if we move on to the
track pads the MacBook has the Razer beat so what's
special about these track pads is that they basically have a glass panel and it
doesn't move at all it does not physically click what happens is when
you press down they have sensors that detect the pressure and there's
basically a motor that vibrates to make it feel like it's clicking but the best
part about it is that no matter where you click even in the corners up down
top middle anywhere it has an even clicking feel and you could actually go
into the settings and customize the different pressures for clicks or
anything else you'd like so definitely a good trackpad compared to the Razer
where it has a diving board design that traditional windows diving board design
where at the top is actually connected so when you're trying to click it's like
incredibly hard like you have to push pretty hard and then near the bottom
it's like just really really easy but it's nowhere near as good as the MacBook
now let's go ahead and get into the speaker comparison
I definitely noticed a good amount of volume on the razor the volume was there
but everything was kind of lacking it didn't seem like it had a very broad or
wide range of frequencies especially lacking in the base the MacBook Pro
absolutely destroyed it in terms of base the meds were there the volume might
have not not have been as loud as a razor but in terms of overall sound
quality I would definitely choose the MacBook Pro instead now while this
speaker test was running I noticed something very interesting about the
display quality what I'm noticing is that on the MacBook the blacks are much
deeper compared to the razor like I'm seeing a lot of reflections I'm looking
at myself like like I'm looking at a mirror right now because it's so much
more reflections and I think that's because this is actually a touchscreen
display which the MacBook is not so that might be why there's more reflections
now in terms of the quality this razor model actually is a 4k display model so
4k resolution 60 Hertz they actually have a 1080p 120 Hertz model for gamers
so that's definitely the option that most gamers are going to choose this one
people might choose if they're doing some kind of productivity work or
something else like that like video editing photo editing because this does
have 100% srgb color accuracy now the MacBook Pro has the hundred percent srgb
but it also has DCI p3 on top of that so it has about 25% more colors colors
support compared to the razor now comparing the display brightness between
the two head on it definitely looks like the MacBook Pro is a little bit brighter
and definitely brighter than the razor and even at maximum brightness I'm still
seeing reflections on the screen whereas like I can't really see any reflections
on the MacBook Pro so that's a little bit annoying even at max brightness now
before I get into performance I want to quickly check the disk speed so let's go
ahead I have aja open right here all right there you go Wow look at that the
razor is really impressive we've got a almost 3000 read speed compared to
almost 2400 and about 2600 right speed compared to 2200 so now let's go ahead
and get into the performance comparison between these two now both these have
Intel's 10th generation processors the MacBook actually has an i5 it's a 2.0
gigahertz I 5 now first of all I do want to mention that I went into the battery
settings I switched it over to Best Performance and not only that but it
also opened up the Razer synapse and I made sure to switch it to the gaming
mode as well now one thing I do want to mention is that you can only use gaming
mode while plugged into the power as you can see right here if you switch over to
battery you can only get the balanced or the battery saver now as I start these
CPU tests I do want to mention that they both have 16 gigs of really fast lpddr4
X Ram 3733 megahertz so great on the RAM the only downside with the razor is that
you can't upgrade to 32 like you can on the MacBook so if you're trying to do
any kind of video editing it's a little bit of a bummer that you don't have the
freedom to upgrade to 32 if you really need it alright so these results are
totally unexpected even though the MacBook Pro has an i-5 it's actually
scoring higher on the multi-core score compared to the razor which has an i7 in
terms of the single core they're very very similar 1237 on the MacBook
compared to 1253 but you're getting almost 400 more points on the MacBook
Pro in terms of multi-core now on the other hand getting into performance this
is where the razor really shines and that's basically the whole point about
this laptop right here because it comes with a dedicated graphics chip the gtx
1650 TI max q compared to the integrated intel iris plus graphics on the macbook
pro so we're gonna test metal on the MacBook and CUDA on the razor now as
this test is finishing up I do want to mention one more thing the razor blade
does have RGB keyboard backlighting so that is definitely a nice touch and you
you can go ahead and go into the settings customize the different colors
or whatever you like compared to just basic backlighting on the MacBook Pro
alright so we have our solds and they are crazy in terms of
graphics on the map but pro we're getting about 9900 metal score compared
to 42,000 on the razor blade stealth now that is insane for a dedicated graphics
chip that is extremely impressive basically what this means is that this
is a real gaming machine you can play some awesome high-end games like Call of
Duty warzone even though that's free that's very popular right now that I'm
actually going to be testing out that game on this laptop I think that's the
next video we're gonna do so if you're not already subscribed and if you don't
have notifications enable right down there do it right now because that video
is coming soon so definitely crazy results right here now with that I do
actually want to test out Unigine heaven the gaming benchmark so let's go ahead
and open that and that's just gonna give us a good idea of the differences in
gaming performance between the two all right so I'm gonna run this test and I
do want to mention that we always use the Xtreme preset now just by watching
the test run you could see how choppy the MacBook Pro is compared to the Razer
definitely much better fps so as unit in heaven is finishing up I'm
starting to hear a lot more fan noise so definitely more fan noise on the razor
but I'm also hearing some coil whine so it's kind of like a high-pitched noise
coming from the razor compared to a more just fan noise on the MacBook Pro and
it's definitely louder on the razor as well even though the GPU temp is about
65 compared to 69 there so it looks like Unigine haven't just finished on the
razor 40 5.3 FPS that is excellent for a thin and light gaming laptop 13-inch
compared to 13 point 5 FPS on the MacBook Pro so obviously this cannot
handle games maybe like the lightest games out there apple arcade or
something but definitely not like regular nice high-end games so really
impressive performance on the razor now if you do want to do some gaming on the
MacBook Pro may be using boot camp to install Windows 10 we definitely
recommend hooking it up to an e GPU system with the 50s
100 XT we actually have a couple of videos where we did that and we got
really good fps and gaming so definitely check that out
after this video now the final performance tests I want to run is
Cinebench R 20 the stress test where it basically puts a 100% load on the
processors to see how the cooling systems handle it and what kind of
scores were going to get so let's go ahead and run the test all right so the
MacBook Pro just finished first and I noticed while the test was going both
were maxed out on the fans I definitely heard that coil noise from the razor and
it seemed like the razor kind of slowed down over time like it had a good start
but it slowed down now we got 1656 on the MacBook Pro which is interesting
because we actually got a maximum score of 1911 I think that was with it
unplugged I think it actually performs a little bit worse when plugged in but
that is still an excellent score and we got twelve seventy on the razor which
doesn't make sense that difference 1272 1656 that's actually substantial and
when you're thinking about I 5 versus i7 you're gonna think that the i7 is more
powerful but that's actually not the case so the processor performance
definitely goes to the MacBook Pro and it seems like the razor is more graphics
focused for gaming or maybe some productivity like video editing now the
last thing I do want to mention before we get into our conclusion is the
battery life now this is the 4k version of the razor and especially when you
turn on the better performance and you turn on the gaming mode what's gonna
happen is that you're not gonna get as good of battery life as you're gonna get
with the MacBook Pro maybe you'll get around five five six hours compared to
about seven eight hours in the member pro but obviously it depends on what
you're doing if you're playing a game with it not plugged in it's gonna die
pretty quickly or if you're doing very high-end video editing it's gonna die so
on average the MacBook Pro is gonna get better battery life now let's go ahead
and answer the final question which laptops should you buy in 2020 well I'd
say the razor is more focused for gaming because of the better graphics
performance and because it has that sixteen by nine display I don't think
it's going to be good for productivity even though
is gonna perform pretty well in video editing the display is just so limiting
being so small and having that bottom bezel of course the keyboard is
definitely really nice so if you're doing typing you're definitely gonna
have a good experience with that but in terms of the speaker's the trackpad
other things like that the MacBook Pro is definitely going to be the winner
there so in terms of productivity by the MacBook Pro especially if you want Mac
OS but if you love Windows 10 and you want to do so gaming definitely go with
the Razer Blade stealth 13-inch so there you guys have it hopefully you guys
enjoyed this comparison if you did go ahead and comment down below with your
thoughts on this video and go ahead and check out the other videos we have right
over there thanks for watching and we'll see you in the next video
