As a salesman in an electronic store and as a video editor I can say that the Zenbook Pro does many things better than the Macbook Pro 14 even when comparing your reviews; better screen (much better motion and colour handling without blooming), better single and multi core scores, upgradeable ram/ssd, GPU is way beyond of the Macbook Pro, outstanding GPU temperatures. Build quality I'd give a notch to Macbook Pro 14, the brightness while nice is not really necessary in most use cases and the screen has blurry motion and terrible response times, the 32gb variant is way more expensive and is completely soldered. 8 hours of video play on battery is fine and they perform the same when the hardware is pushed on battery. This laptop easily deserves a 90% rating honestly, so much tech and performance in such a small and well build package.Just no no no no and no! Go f*** your Cinebench mainstream dogshit benchmark you scum, I'm so tired of ignorant arrogant people making statements with this fcking clown benchmark! STOP!

Honestly the Macbook Pro 14 and Zenbook Pro 14 are both best in class 14 inch laptops, should receive the same score especially considering the performance advantage on both cpu and GPU, the touch OLED advantage, and much cheaper way of getting 48 ram or 4tb installed by simply buying the cheaper SKU in the Zenbook Pro 14. Battery life and build aren't everything yet the weigh much heavier when scoring both according to your reviews :DAre you out of your mind FANBOY?? The m2max beats out desktop class CPU's the like of 5950x, 13700k, and in some cases 13900k/7950x. And that's proven by the M1MAX SPEC article written by Anandtech. Intel is holding on dear life with its SIMD acceleration, but once apple silicon gets real advanced SIMD pool, this Intel dogshit game is over. AMD too better be switching to RISC! First get educated and intelligent before you make such ridiculous statements!
