Quote from: Display is not a rival on Yesterday at 17:57:07Idk about performance (except that INTEL CPUs are still nice heaters and not as energy efficient as AMD's and APPLE's made by TSMC), but
Quotea 300 nits brightness rating. So, it's not exactly better than the screen equipped on the MacBook Neo, but the good part is that it has 100% sRGB coverage.
The Neo has a 500 nits display. How is this a rival? Rhetoric question. And it's not even clear how much RAM Windows will eat up. 12 GB RAM on Windows = 8 GB RAM on macOS? Maybe not, but you get the point.

These 3rd generation core ultra chips are pretty efficient and runs cool. In tests these run cooler than macbook neo. One reason for the temperature could be the lack of fan in macbook neo. AMD's processors are growing less and less competitive in the last 2 generations. I haven't used those but all the reviews paint a pretty bad picture of amd especially in battery life even worse in performance on battery.

So where all the windows have Ram and ssd in gb like 12gb but MacBooks work differently they share the same memory for Ram and GPU which is UMA this is where part comes in ram communicate with GPU in windows and perform task but in MacBook they do not need communication because it's already there no separate working and communication needed.

Hot damn! We'll have 2020ish level performance for ~2023-level prices!
