Hi chris here comparing apples to oranges the orange being an msi ge66 raider now this one
is the 11 uh model that has an rtx 3080 a core i7 11800h up against now the new macbook 16
2021 edition with of course the apple silicon the m1 pro which has 10 cores and 16 gpu cores
so what i'll do is do a bit of a general kind of comparison with some benchmarks but i do want
to focus on video editing performance and export times in this video to see
just how much faster or slower will the macbook here be and how does it feel editing video
versus what i normally edit video on which is this model right here with its 4k oled screen
and then the other differences here so weight wise the macbook is a lot heavier than i thought
it would be so this is 2.14 kilos versus 2.37 for the msi with that dedicated graphics and of course
with the pc we have type a ports which is really good i can just plug in a mouse or something there
type c port here is a usb 3 spec and then we've got the thunderbolt so three thunderbolt
ports on the macbook now each one of them has its own bus so each one of them is 40 gigabits per
second transfers 3.5 millimeter headphone jack and mag safe is back although the magnet on this one
seems to be way stronger than what i remember on previous generations maybe it's just me
even does have a sd card slot which is great now it's not as fast as the one i have which
is sd express this one can do up to 980 megabytes per second reads from this msi g66 the two type
a usb ports there as well great and just sadly hdmi 2.0 from the macbook pro here that's
really disappointing why is this not hdmi 2.1 that's a bit of an odd decision too however of
course with the thunderbolt i can use thunderbolt type c to then display port 1.4 and run up to 8k
30. the ge 66 radar does have hdmi 2.1 2.5 gigabit lan and a thunderbolt 4 port but only one of them
with this display port there so ports of course on the pcs especially gaming laptops you normally do
get a lot more now briefly looking at a display so very different of course these two machines
here but we got with the map but the best screen because it's got 120 hertz and the brightness is
just crazy it tops out at 1600 nits now the laptop that i've got here that msi the g raider 66. it's
a 4k screen 60 hertz it's actually a very good screen because it is a oled screen that's one
of the reasons i got this laptop for color grading editing videos and things and just overall i just
love oleds macbook pro 16 here does have a 90 percent adobe rgb color coverage here and 100
srgb and then the 4k oled that's in the ge66 radar here 100 adobe rgb it also has 100 srgb 97
ntsc and p3 is 94 so better color coverage and gamut than what we have in that macbook now the
brightness on this screen tops out at just over 800 nits so it's a really good screen
for a gaming laptop however both of them are of course super reflective now the 120 hertz means
that everything's really smooth that's what i'm missing out with the msi gaming laptop there is it
does not go over 60 hertz which is a real shame 90 hertz with a 4k oled like that would have been i
think the sweet spot spot there in perfect now up here of course that notch it's relatively hidden
at the moment because i'm using a dark theme dark mode at the moment but it's the most dumbest thing
ever that i have seen in tech recently is that i saw notch it doesn't even have face id so why do
they even bother it's a 1080p camera and i've also got a 1080p camera in my msi but yes the quality
of the macbook camera is better and just briefly here the touchpad and the keyboard i'd have to
give the one there to the macbook that i wrote better the touchpad is just ridiculously large
but once you get used to it it is probably the best touchpad that you can find in a laptop and
then with our msi here rgb keyboard i don't mind it it's a steel series keyboard which i think for
gaming laptop is not a bad keyboard at all and our touchpad well that's not exactly that great
here the touchpad i do find to be a little on the small side and not amazing and you'll see
the rgb strip here that's giving me a few extra frames per second let's get onto a little bit of
general performance too so this is geekbench 5. so this score single core here for the core i7 11
800 h is not bad at all and multi-core score getting up towards 10 000 points however look at
this macbook pro 16 with the m1 pro it absolutely smashes it not only is it using less wattage here
but that tin core m1 pro gets a much better single core score here that is an amazing score really
and then the multi-core score there look at that 12 000 points that's a big step up and
the best thing for me is that the fan noise on the macbook pro is basically non-existent
it's so quiet i can't hear it most of the time the fans are off even running this benchmark
this was run on the battery too so if i'd run it on just the battery with my ge 66 radar here
it would not have got the score i just showed you before so really impressive results here
now here is where the macbook pro is a little bit weaker of course than the gpu department
so i don't have the m1 max which would be a lot better with the 32 cores this has 16 cores the
opencl score here for geekbench 5 is nearing 40 000 points but of course that rtx 3080
at 140 watts i believe it is with this model is oh wow look at that it's just destroying the m1
pro's gpu there with uh well over a hundred thousand points more for this opencl test
3d marks wildlife shows that it gets 26 000 points and then just over 10 000 points here
with a macbook pro 16. now i would love to run something like fire strike or night raid
but unfortunately uh it doesn't seem to be supported yet with the mac and apple silicon
the internal storage speed so my macbook pro here does have 16 gigabytes of ram and the 512
gigabyte ssd so if i did have a one terabyte version or two terabyte version then these
speeds here would course be a lot better so it's around reading at about 5 000 megabytes per second
whereas the pci e4 samsung 980 pro of my msi pushes close to 7 000 points now
this is on the battery i ran this one here so it could actually do a little bit better than this
it's a one terabyte version city bench now so with the core i7 the 11800h i was able to achieve just
under 12 000 points now the best scores i have seen if i did undervolt and overclock this
particular 8 core 16 3 chip i could actually get it up in the 14 000 point mark there but i haven't
done that in this video i've just run it stock here okay and that was after 10 minutes it did
end up throttling down a little bit and the fans were relatively loud mid kind of rpms on the cpu
and then now our macbook score getting over 12 000 points beating out that core i7 11 800 h
that's impressive now this was on the battery 2 as well so it will go for 10 minutes
and the score doesn't really seem to drop down either very much only by about maybe 100 or 200
points so it barely throttles and the amazing part is the fan noise again that it literally makes no
noise it's whisper quiet i can't hear it it's just so quiet and now the real test that i wanted to do
is video editing with the macbook pro 16 with the m1 pro and the 16 gigabytes of ram 500 gigabytes
of storage up against what is currently what i'm using for editing a video right here this is my
vivo x70 pro plus review recently posted that one in the channel so exactly the same project is open
on both of these machines at the same time so we do have um the apple silicon version here of adobe
premiere pro latest version latest version on both of these machines and i've noticed straight
away that it may in the beginning load up a little bit faster but when it comes in everything all the
files it's definitely quicker on the macbook the macbook seems a lot faster the playback
too i've noticed in the timeline let's take a look at that okay timeline on the pc here with
a half playback resolution where the very long video is this but quite a very simple basic edit
it's very quick it's not bad the rtx with its cue to your cores rtx cd80 handling this really well
now i've noticed that sometimes it can slow down a little bit occasionally you might drop
a few frames but with the dedicated graphics this performance is very good now if i didn't
have dedicated graphics if it was just running off say iris xc graphics it would not be performing so
good so with a basic edit here it's okay but when i start to layer it on like my camera comparisons
and i put a couple of 8k clips in there too it sometimes gets a little slow
now with the macbook it does seem that everything's a little bit smoother but
you might have picked up on this there's something really weird going on with the colors right here
and i don't know why that is because i have not color graded this or changed it but it seems like
the gamma's completely gone on my clips it seems to be a bug it was not doing that before because
when i go through and take a look at this uh like that's not meant to be colored like that that's
just horrible like i've come out all yellow and overblown i don't know what is going on so some
sort of glitch or bug has disappeared there but the general performance like the timeline again is
very good really smooth here and i would have to say for editing i've done just a couple of
test edits now on the macbook that it does seem overall in general to be a little more
smoother than my experience with even an rtx 3080 and i just think it's because of the playback
of the h.264 and h.265 files tend to be smoother on the m1 pro but now i wanted to check on of
course the export times i have noticed that it is definitely faster with the cuda cores nvidia rtx
3080 a lot of power there with the gpu but a more powerful cpu worth that in one pro so what is the
difference going to be i've got my little timer here so i'm about to hit export i'll do it on both
of these at the same time but obviously the time i need to start first because i only have two hands
not three of them so i've got uh both of them set to the 4k preset here okay that is exporting
out to the 4k youtube preset that is so export that's lined up right there with our mouse export
and export and just about a second later i'll hit that too as well so let's go export on both
okay and start that timer on the pc 74 on our cpu and 91 on the rtx 3080 which is currently
71 degrees hot we can see here on the mac that adobe there is using a lot of cpu in fact that's
145 gpu is 85 all right so the pc is finishing up the status bar they're still at 100 so it hasn't
actually finished the whole file yet seven minutes and 13 seconds there we go approximately 7 minutes
and 15 seconds you could say and the macbook is about to finish up let's have a look what
it is going to be the final result here there we go about 10 minutes and 42 seconds versus
the 7 minutes and 15 seconds on my pc with the core i7 11 800 h and that rtx 3080. so that is a
big difference there but what is a huge difference is the fan noise just how quiet this macbook is
now there's one area that any powerful gaming laptop is just not going to be able to compete
at all even though this has a 99 watt hour battery now i can put it take it off the mux switch mode
which is dedicated graphics only at the moment to use then integrated graphics i could maybe
squeeze three hours of battery life out of this this king this thing can get 10 hours more yes
they didn't make a mistake 10 hours more i've been able to get over 10 hours battery life on this so
far was still battery remaining so you can make it through a whole day it is incredible how this just
sits away it doesn't consume a lot of energy at all and that is why there is basically for
most tasks that people will be doing any light computing the fan never comes on and i'm really
shocked to see it will take at least about five minutes or four minutes or so of video encoding
that's loading up that cpu to the absolute max before the fan comes on and then seriously you
struggle to hear it this for me has completely blown me away i'm used to gaming laptops and
even the ultra books that i have and i review their fans are still going to come on with the
heavy workloads it's normal it's a hot part but this does not generate that heat so fan noise is
just fantastic it's amazing the battery life touch pad excellent very good keyboard i think it's it's
decent but i'm still getting used to some of the things that apple has with the differences in the
layout coming from windows so the gaming laptop of course it's so obvious for games you're a gamer
this is what you go for but if you just work and edit videos or you're okay you're using something
like lightroom and adobe photoshop and things like that this is the way to go for just work
only because of the battery life the build quality the screen the performance and yes that notch
that notch is just i think one of my stupidest decisions i've ever seen of what is a very very
good display the brightness on this is impressive and 120 hertz is great too with that screen not to
say that this is a bad screen too that i have as i showed you it actually has better color coverage
than the retina screen here this one being the oled that's so one of the main reasons why i
went for this particular gaming laptop because it has a fantastic screen for a gaming laptop 4k
this is not 4k we've got the proper 16x9 aspect ratio for the videos i edit 4k if i reduce the
scaling can give me a huge amount of screen space to work with to there of course with this model
so you've got the three thunderbolt thunderbolt 4 ports only one on this sd card reader on this
is faster the 2.5 gigabit lan port it's you know there's there's a lot of differences between them
and especially the price so this is 2.6 000 euros here in spain that's a lot of money for half the
storage of what this has uh it has a 16 gigabytes of ram this also does two but i've got that rtx
3080 which is super powerful that does come with this for the gaming and everything and this model
here cost me 2 100 euros with the 4k oled screen so a 600 euro difference i know they're completely
different beasts here very different machines as i said in the start we are comparing here
definitely apples to oranges so thank you so much for watching my little comparison here i hope you
did like it do subscribe for more and i'll see you hopefully back in the channel in the next video
