@MaxTechOfficial can you suggest Ultra processor laptop to buy for programming and video editing usage. I am a frequent traveller so it should be lightweight.
Microsoft should work on an ARM version to get Windows to take full advantage of the M chip, perhaps as sort of similar to Parallels but native. In this way even Windows gaming on Mac should be able to reach amazing performance.
Every Apple vs Windows laptop comparison I watch on any channel show the same result: when you compare a Macbook vs a Windows laptop in the same price bracket, the Macbook always comes on top in performance and battery. Every single time. Apple nailed it with their M processors.
People talk so much mess about how expensive Apple products are, but almost every video I see where there’s a comparison with a Windows computer that has similar specs the Windows computer is basically the same price if not a little more expensive…
This is the point I always make. When doing a price comparison, I generally look at Dell's website. I use their machines at work, so the comparison is a natural one. Spec for spec they're almost the same price, so the superior performance and user experience of the Mac wins for me.
The idea that Macs are absurdly expensive was only relevant almost a decade ago but after the M chips they've become incredibly competitive for the price to performance ratio. Also PC gamers complain about the Macbooks' gaming performance for the price when these laptops weren''t meant for gaming regardless... It doesn't matter to me since I already have a 4090 7800x3d PC but prefer to do work on the MacBook. They also forget the near 4k mini-led 120hz display and the overall build quality of these things for the price.
Apple is very good value if you are looking for ultra light laptops, but if you don't care about noise, power usage and the weight of the laptop you can get much more powerful and cheaper gaming laptops.
@@akin242002 While photo&videographers heavily rely on sd card readers, they represent a smaller portion of the market. The SD card reader takes up more space than usb-c ports do as well. There is a world of great usb-c hubs with every SD slot available with 10 other features that takes one usb c port, otherwise single use connectors are also available. I don’t see the issue personally!
Monster productivity, monster battery life and those speakers... man how do they make them so good? It literally sounds like a high quality dedicated speaker minus the loudness.
Macbook air 15 speakers are sweet. Don't even need headphones. They sound that good. I've had windows laptops, dell/ThinkPad woth cheap tin speakers. Sometimes they put Harmon pardon or the like in certain models....but apple knows sound.
@@Toritori-ke9sf To me they sound fantastic! But yeah, they can't be compared to a good dedicated speaker as they are very small. But the whole system sounds so good that definitely if the loudness was higher the system could actually be as good
@@Toritori-ke9sf One of my class mates has one and yes you are completely right they do sound like your in a bowl as the clarity kind of sucks due to way to much bass for thee voices but once you listen to music it does sound good.
@@nicktw8688 I have heard them but they are okay as there is quite some windows laptops that does sound quite better but dell and thinkpad laptop speakers sounds like shit 24/7 the funny part is that Lenovo gaming laptops sounds good but that it also a hit or miss but I personally use a asus tuf F15 which the speakers do sound good, But I will say it isn't what it was like 5 or 6 years ago where every windows laptop sounds bad unless you get a thicc laptop
@@jonson856 it is. They said it is because they couldn’t fit a 1080P camera there but I think that it could have been done without the notch. The Face ID equipment however is too big for that display enclosure
If you use an Apple laptop for a long time, burn-in will inevitably occur in the menu bar area at the top of the display. If there is a notch, people will not think of that area as the monitor area. Even if burn-in occurs, people pay less attention. I thought they were aiming for that.
I own both. Macbook battery life is much better. It also blows XPS 14 away while both operating on battery because the Macbook runs at full processor power while the XPS 14 throttles way way down with settings at balanced. Sound quality vastly superior on Macbook Pro.
There is an option in preferences to reduce performance in the Mac while on battery. Low power mode. It will nerf the CPU, dim the screen Ect....to increase battery.
@@nicktw8688But MaxTech has shown, in other videos, that a Mac laptop is hardly “nerfed” on Low Power Mode. What they showed is starting with the M2, the Efficiency cores became noticeably faster than on M1, so they now perform closer to the Performance cores but using much less power. That means the loss of performance from Low Power Mode is only noticeable on heavy processing workloads. So unless I need to do maximum power processing like video editing or 3D, I leave Low Power Mode set to on for battery, and off when on AC, and I hardly notice the difference.
I mean dell and hp imo one of the worst brands for a laptop like theses as they always underperform for the price they are asking or for the configuration but for me I do use a asus laptop and I get like 10 to 13hrs (when new) but now I get like 8 to 10 hours but the thing I will recommend on all windows laptops is to change the lid and power button permissions to hibernate when on battery power because Microsoft is stupid like normal and make you lose more battery when the computer is in sleep mode vs when using it normally, also dells and hp as been known for bad thermals.
@@tringuyen7519 Yea but the Dell xps is underclocked and expensive. Doesn't even compare to other windows laptops that are cheaper much less a M3 MacBook.
@@خيناشعبدالمنعم The reason we don't see many AMD laptops is because of two reasons. First is that AMD has a very limited supply, compared to Intel. And second is that Intel works much more closely with OEMs to better optimise their software for the chip. It's sad tbh. But I feel Qualcomm will bridge the void better than even AMD ever can.
You’re wearing an Apple Watch. Use that to unlock the MacBook. You don’t need to use Touch ID or have Face ID. It would be nice for when you’re not wearing the watch or for people who don’t have one, but in the video you’re complaining while wearing a solution.
Honestly I have a M1 Max Macbook Pro 16 inch and like half the time the fucking thing doesn't even unlock with my apple watch ultra. It was so inconsistent. It was one of the main points I was actually buying that for. Along with a bunch of various other things that didn't work properly so I ended up selling it. I've heard from a lot of other people the same problem too. It doesn't even unlock the computers over half the time properly. Touch ID is way more consistent. Face ID is ass. Lol.
I moved to Apple because the battery life is amazing and no fan noise. Intel laptops are OK as a desktop replacement that is always plugged into power.
@@Shabbir-A.Lol you are just an apple🐑. You cant do anything GPU-intensive on the Mac, cant customize, cant use linux, no escape key, no ANYTHING. But suuuure, just because its lasts 1 hour longer macbook is totally better😂😂😂😂
@@dkoorse Actually that's completely wrong, both of you. Staying always plugged in (as long as you're limiting your charge to about 80% instead of going to full 100%) will actually be better for the laptop than constantly recharging because there will be less recharge cycles.
Ditto. Got mine Wednesday and absolutely love it. Not the most powerful, but for $1799 at Best Buy, the MacBook Pro M3 Pro is a tough to beat value/performance proposition.
i spent $2700 on the dell xps in 2021 then upgraded the ram to 64gb. IT SUCKS. the battery has had to be replaced, the motherboard has had to be replaced. the battery would drain faster than it would charge while playing video games. You cannot edit video in premiere pro. 10 bit footage doesnt play at all. It just freezes trying to open slog3 footage. I have to use a stand with a fan under it to play video games or i get under 5 frames per second.
@@DustyKing I got it for gaming first unfortunately. Macs were also garbage for video editing until the m1 chip. Now im thinking of spending 2k or so on a mac studio and just swapping my pc for games and a mac studio for editing.
Thank you for the video and thank you for the hard work putting these comparisons together. Would you mind mentioning what program you are running on the Dell to tell you power draw, and cpu temperatures?
I work as an embedded software development engineer. I have never seen an Apple computer in any of the companies that I have worked for. This is because none of the apps that I use are available for MacOS but all are available for both Windows and Linux. TH-camrs really like ARM based Macs because they are very fast and effective at editing their videos. Unfortunately very few professionals have the apps that they need similarly available for the Mac. I messaged a Civil engineer who told me that as with embedded software development apps, no civil engineering design apps are available for the Mac.
I am an embedded software development engineer. Everyone in the companies I work and worked for and the majority of people at conferences I visit have Apple laptops. That is because they run Mac OS, a Unix system that runs pretty much all the tools I need, as well as Windows and Linux if I need them to. Also, they have lower TCO.
@@reduchimaki x86 windows doesn’t work better. The reality is that so few people have macs that it is not worth it for software tools companies to port their tools to macs. By contrast a lot of embedded software developers use Linux and so most tools are also available on x86 Linux.
@@paulharrison8379embedded devs can totally use macs. All the Segger jlink stuff works, Silab simplicity studio works, microchip ide works, esp idf works, all the gcc and llvm tool chains work better than windows, VS code of course works, you get the idea. With parallels win11 VM, stuff like P-CAN works for automotive too. I actually haven’t found something I need as an embedded dev that doesn’t work properly on Mac, to my surprise when I switched last year.
I'm an architect and use a mac, there's no Revit, but everything else I use is cross platform (AutoCAD, Rhino, SketchUp, Cinema 4D, Adobe/Affinity suite, Archicad, Twinmotion, V-Ray.)
absolutely unbiased comparison, at least give it a go and run some games on these, much more people use their systems for gaming than video editing. I do not know why so many reviewers are so fixated on video editing performance like that is the only thing people do on these machines.
I can literally in about 5 minutes searching, find 3 laptops that have the Core Ultra 7 155H that cost about 2/3 the price of the MacBook Pro with more SSD. For example a Lenovo Yoga 9i can be had for about $1400 and an equivalent MacBook Pro is currently $2200 on Apple's website.
Do they have the RTX4050 or better? The ones with ARC Graphics, only that iGPU, do not compete with the MB Pro 14 M3Pro, they compete with the base M3 chips which are cheaper.
Life long PC User, XPS user since late 2000s, multiple XPS laptops over the last 10 years...the 2022 15" 9510 is my current DELL laptop, and it is decent enough - touch screen is nice, specs are good, i7, 64gb ram, with two m.2 drives I upgraded myself, but between the thermal throttling, screen with halo'ing at the edges, and battery life I'm ready for something new, and now that the new line doesn't allow for upgradable memory/ssd's I decided to purchase a 14" MBP M3 Max for my travel editing uses. Excited to see if all the Mac hype over the years is justified! 🎉
It would be interesting to see how the Macbooks run common Windows programs, using Parallels, when compared to the Dell, so basically if you run both as Windows-only machines, for those who need the WIndows functionality - how much of a sacrifice is there to do it on the Macbooks? A comparison like this but Windows only would be great.
I've used Windows apps on Parallels, even on my the older Intel 16" MacBook Pro, and everything runs smooth as silk... Stupid Windows runs better on Mac Parallels than most PCS, Windows such a f'ng ridiculous programn
x86 is dead. I'm looking forward to RISC-V, but I guess I'll have to give ARM some of that royalty money for my next laptop, as I doubt RISC-V will be mature by the time I'll need a replacement.
This comparison has no merit. It is well known that Dell XPS line is significantly overpriced. The best competition in this price range would have been the ASUS Zephyrus G14, with a RTX 4070 and 32GB RAM. The ASUS has spectacular speakers (90% of what the MacBook Pro has in my opinion), good battery life, more versatility (can game, heavy coding, etc.), and a great design to top it off.
"It is well known that Dell XPS line is significantly overpriced. " - it is well known that _full service_ companies like Dell and Apple price their products to support their service. ASUS - well, they can charge you a restocking fee for returns, for example.

@@I_like_science Generally, I agree. I have a Mac laptop for most of my domestic stuff, but for any kind of 3D work, I have a large tower running Windows on a Ryzen 7 chip.
On this channel, every test is bogus. They always pit the worst PC within the price range for comparison. I did test the £800 Dell G15 PC laptop against the new £2000 M3 MacBook Pro. Sure, the M3 might excel in battery life, internet browsing, and non-demanding graphics tasks, but when it comes to Blender rendering and Cinebench, it's a crawl-twice as slow as the PC. And let's not ignore the glaring price difference: £800 vs. £2000. Sure, the PC might consume more power 😄, but good luck running any demanding game on that Mac-it's stuck with graphics reminiscent of 2015.
Same here. Also, some software that I use either isn't optimized on MacOS or doesn't work at all. MacBooks are still great, just not for my workflow needs.
If Windows laptops are going to consistently lose to MacBooks in both efficiency and battery life, they need to make up for it in the areas where Apple deliberately refuses to improve such as consumer trust and repairability. The only Windows (defined as not MacOS) laptop I could justify if they're all going to target a similar price point is a Framework as it's basically the anti-MacBook with how much it trusts the consumer to be responsible for every part inside and to even assemble it themselves. I can't understand why some OEMs will continue to make MacBook competitors that charge the same premium for a significantly-more power hungry chip and then solder in components such as the ram and storage, at which point it just doesn't make sense to me.
can you put the MacBook pro against the new Razer Blade 14 and the Asus g14 with rtx 4070 (since your MacBook has the M3 Pro chip)? it would be interesting comparisons
These titles are just such click bait. No matter how good or bad Apple Silicon is, Apple wil never overtake Windows as the #1 OS. And other sites that are more neutral than your has never said Apple has the best CPUs but the most effiicient CPUs. I use both x86-based PCs and Apple Silicon-based Macs. Each has a purpose and each has a place in the market, but it’s video titles like that that people just can’t deal with. Including me, but I had to put my .02 in. They are tools. It’s not a race to the moon. BTW, Intel is not going anywhere. Neither is AMD nor Microsoft. It’s really too bad that Apple WAY over charges for upgrades AND locks their machines to the pre-configured specs. I can’t add an SSD, but I can use a Flash Drive. I can’t add RAM but there is nothing I can do about this but I can upgrade my laptop RAM at any time. Apple laptops have become what SJ always wanted: Appliances.
Great video and all, but I always think you should compare the MacBook to something like the Razer blade 14 or Asus zephyrus g14, which would be a lot more fair for the windows side.
@DustyKing I don't think so. That's why I mentioned the Razer blade 14 (in terms of performance) and especially the Asus zephyrus g14 (in terms of overall build quality, screen, speakers, portability........). Compared to the xps 14, the g14 wins in literally almost every category, and it's not like it's much heavier or larger, plus it's cheaper.
@@nicolasfreyibanez8130 gaming laptops suffer from bulkiness and short battery life, and the use case here is for work, not gaming, though maybe performance would be better on the laptops you mentioned.
The MB Air beat it, so we all knew the MB Pro would blow it away. I literally LAUGHED OUT LOUD when the XP was down to 45% battery before the comparison even began.. JUST PATHETIC 😂😂
I'm a little confused how Apple's are THIS good, yet somehow they struggle to fully break into and replace a majority of Credit Union Corporate Headquarters, Hospital systems, Tech Firms and HQ's and such.
@@ThatKoreanGamer-r5m consider pricing for higher variants of Macbooks, the base 8gb 256 might be fine for a avg home user who surfs internet and does some light office work. But when corporations need laptops they want them to run at least for 5-7 years without upgrading them, a lot of windows machines provide that without costing a arm and a leg. If you try buying a 1 TB and 16 GB Mac model then you'll have to pay somewhat 500 dollars extra over whatever the base pricing is, which will cost a lot for the corporate
@@ThatKoreanGamer-r5mIt’s just a matter of contract renewal, and ancient proprietary software and hardware. This is brand new tech in some ways. A lot of really old corporate environments have an entire infrastructure which just perpetuates the Windows purchases so it is essentially just grandfathered in. They have entire fleets of computers and droves of IT specialists and infrastructure all built around outdated systems, and Windows is notorious for still having backwards compatibility with ancient code. So they don’t use Windows because it’s good, they use it because they have software or hardware or internal systems that are now dependent on it. It’s cheaper to just treat the computers as disposable rather than changing their entire computing environment to use something newer and potentially better. Startups incidentally love Apple, and they don’t have archaic standards to support so they can use the best and newest technologies.
Before comparing Windows or Mac OS just remember Windows is supposed to run on all hardware. All x86 machine. And MacOS is supposed to run on only an specific machine. So they could optimize their internal code or whatever. On the other hand MacOS dedicated for any kind of professional work(That was stated by Steve Jobs years ago). But Windows is for all sort of people who wants to watch TikTok videos or do professional works. So don't compare OS-wise.. On CPU-wise M series cpu is a clear winner. And it's the M cpu which is responsible for less power use.. But Windows-based laptop manufacturers should put strong battery inside that if they are left with no other options. Years ago when apple used to have Intel CPUs also had longer battery backup. They used to have massive battery pack since Intel laptop would use more power. But windows-based laptop manufacturers don't take into account of the battery backup. Why? Because it's meant for mass people. People would buy anyway to play video games or any other non-sense tasks... But only Pro people buys MacBook. It's for the people who changes the world. And so Apple always makes exceptional MacBook which serves it's only purpose of serving the pro-people. =
Absolutely not. I’m having to throw away my perfectly good mid 2012 MB retina because apple wont update it any longer and I can’t use the software I need to run (parallels and solidworks). I’m having to throw away a perfectly good computer. I won’t be buying any more MB’s.

Hello, I currently use the 14 inch m1 macbook pro, but i have been keeping an eye on the new HP Omen Transcend 14 laptop. it's very thin and surprisingly light even though it's a gaming laptop. I would love it if you could compare those laptops to each other in things like build quality, performance, battery life, things like that. I really want to get the high-spec one. the one with the RTX 4070. It has a vapor chamber and it seems very powerful overall while still being thin and light. I want to see how it would compare to a macbook.
Recently switched to a macbook m1 2021 as a lifelong windows user. Worst decision My xps 15 2015 has a better hinge (the macbook wobbles when you move it vs my xps that is still solid) My 2015 xps has a better gpu. Mac os is a pain in the a55 to use. Can't wait to go back to windows One annoying thing with mac battery is its deceptive. It'll stay around 100% to 80% for a long time then suddenly start shooting down
Lol Dell having good hinges, good one 😂 Dell, the same company that is infamous for bad quality builds lol, maybe if you said HP or Microsoft it'd be more believable and a 2015 mobile GPU, probably the GTX 750M, being better than an M1 lol make sure you get the date right next time, even I have GTX 1050 ti gaking Laptop and my M1 air blows it out of the water. "Apple M1 8-Core GPU outperforms GeForce GT 750M by 311% based on our aggregated benchmark results." - technical.city Try again kid 😂😂😂😅
@haruyanto8085 no, child. They're infamous for inconsistent builds but not bad overall quality construction. My 2015 easily has a better hinge than my 2021 macbook without wobble from movement. I think to a degree, the wobble on mac screens caused by moving the laptop is due to the demand by tech youtubers for 1 finger opening over a more sturdy overall hinge. So there's a good chance it was intentional on the part of apples design team. One thing has to give. My m1 pro 16gb struggles with rendering intense machine learning tests compared to my xps 2015. Even game development rendering has struggled compared to what i could achieve in my xps. So in terms of real world use and not just opening up TH-cam videos like you use it for, it's not great. Doesn't help that there's a lot of incompatible software. So I'm quite disappointed
With regards to the video export, forget the export. Show them editing the video start to finish and the XPS wont even finish the edit or do it as smoothly.
The only thing that's possibly better on Windows laptops costing as much as a Macbook could be windows. That's it. Everything else is much superior on the MacBook
Honestly, the only time it makes sense to get a Windows laptop over a MacBook is if you don't need that type of performance and would rather get a slightly cheaper device whilst still having the latest Intel/AMD CPUs
Not really, we want a laptop efficient like the apple silicon, without apple price-policy, without a closed eco-system, expendable (M2-Slots, RAM-Slots), performance on Battery and on plug. it doesn't matter what architecture (ARM, Apple silicon, x86). The tendancy to solder on every device and make it not repairable, is the reason why my daily driver now is over 10 years old. i bought now an old MBA M1 to test if that suit my needs, in terms of performance (on battery) and endurance (battery) YES, in terms of price-policy, closed eco-system, upgradebility (storage and RAM), connectivity NO. Repairability it depends (one good thing is ports are not soldered to the logic board)
Apple Silicon IS ARM. Price policy? Thats the Apple that is CHEAPER than the competition in this very video? Closed eco-system? Its a laptop. It runs all the software from all the companies that make a Mac version. What is closed about it?
@@MichaelGGarry is the price advantage of apple still valid with the same amount of RAM and storage? The processed data are of the same size on intel and on apple systems, a 4K Video of 5 minutes or 5 hours has the same amount of data, a 4k-picture is not half the size on an apple system. And as i wrote the tendancy to solder on devices is now also on a few intel systems, it started back with the 5th gen of intel cpus. So price comparison only valid with same amount of storage and RAM. Swapping is not a feature but a diability aid.
@@MichaelGGarry Yeah quite a stupid comment from him, I just got a mac and coming from linux yeah something are more closed (Like I cannot compile the OS) but I don't see how that is considered a locked-down system when coming from windows which is probably even more locked than macos. Also I never understood why people consider mac expensive, laptops are never cheap, they probably try to compare a business class laptop (macbook pro, dell xps, lenovo carbon or p series) to gaming laptops which are half the price since they have amazing specs with trash quality build
@@MichaelGGarry Price Policy I think they mean the upcharge on RAM and SSD. The issue with Mac is that they do generally drop legacy support faster than Windows, and a lot of software does not have a Mac version. For example when Apple dropped 32-bit support a lot of old apps or games from the 2000s stopped working. Eventually like with Rosetta 1, they will drop Rosetta 2 and all your Intel binaries will stop working. It's not a matter of if, but a matter of when. You can also run any Linux distro on a Windows laptop while there are no stable Linux distros on mac. Also terms of price- you can definitely still find cheaper alternatives. The Zephyrus G14 and Lenovo Slim 9i are both competitively priced. And generally speaking Windows laptops will go on sale more especially near the end of their yearly cycle.
Ok then the focus should be dell Vs Mac not intel Vs mac. The part of the title that says Mac destroys intel is misleading because that's not your focus for this video. That title will make sense if you chose the intel line up this year and did a comparison with a similarly priced Mac. And in that video your choice should probably be a laptop without a dedicated gpu. Like the Asus Zenbook 14 2024 or something similar
I think the comparison is fundamentally flawed. The person who buys an XPS 14 is a busy business person doing multiple tasks, or an enthusiast who needs something that pushes a bit beyond the norm. On the contrary, the person who buys the Macbook Pro with the Pro chip expects a professional laptop. The catch is that it can do much but in a relatively well defined arena.

I agree macbook sound quality is great compared to the various windows laptops I have used. It would be helpful if Max Tech had a few more tests for sounds, at both low and high volume. One thing I noticed on my M1 Pro compared to my old Asus Zen book, is how much better music sounds when played even at low volume. I tend to take my laptop with me on vacation and I like to listen to my music collection on my Macbook in the room at night, I used to play it though my iPhone, but when I got my M1 Macbook Pro I started using it to play music and it's amazing how good the Macbook sounds on the hotel desk when playing soundtracks and classical music on low volume. Not as good as say a nice headset but still quite good.
I don't get why you would buy a laptop if it has to be plugged in to do anything. Seems like if you want Windows based software then buy a desktop. I wouldn't want something with portability only to be handcuffed to a power source.
The thing is, the XPS's graphics are very underpowered(Talking about wattage). Dell simply doesn't provide enough power to the graphics for them to work, but either which way, I would still go for a MacBook any day of the week

So, my system beats out the Dell XPS 14 in Write results: 6342 vs 5207. but still is slower than the Dell in Read results: 5054 vs 7045. BTW, I think the webcam system on the MBP is slightly better but I could hear the voice frequencies easier on the Dell.(but the voice frequency on the MBP is probably closer to "reality sounding" than the Dell.
is it on purpose? why would u pickup dell knows to be the most expensive brand. another thing noone with senses would get 4050 gpu in laptop. does it have optimus or similar? if testing fps on gpu with optimus or similar u should connect extrnal monitor otherwise the gpu is slowed down by design. about the mac. how about the 256gb disc? does is have same 1/2 perfoormance against 512gb? that info i d like to know from test. this is comparing tomatos with potatoes for me
Again, this bs, Dell isn't the most expensive brand, MS and Alienware are more expensive, please stop feeling like it's unfair this victim mentality mindset apple haters have is ridiculous
I was a windows laptop user before for decades. Since my brothers gave me their old IMAC and MacBook Pro, for me you will really get your moneys worth with Apple products. It's still usable after more than 5 years unlike the Windows laptops which slowdown and malfunctios even after 2-3 years. I think you can use Apple products even for 10 years.
@@SunsetNova did i say it was just TSMC? I think i said the opposite. My point stands "it is TSMC silicon, not Apple silicon". Oh and btw everybody uses TSMC silicon. Nvidia, Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, Apple... They all use TSMC atm.

Dont show graphics performance.. if you wanna game mac is not the option to go and that’s pretty huge difference in my opinion. And if its just about work then I think yeah go for mac.
If games were made by devs then mac GPU would be more than enough to run them. Maybe not beating the best of Windows as they have a headstart over optimisation and performance. Without the games on macOS, Windows is best for gaming. However, I game on a console which means I can buy the MB Pro instead of the XPS 14 and get a much better laptop.

Sorry but can someone help me!?🙈 Sorry for sounding so dumb I just recieved a replacement printer- the other one had issues. They are exactly the same model and make, although this one of course is a few years newer (2021 vs 2024) Would it be best to remove the printer, and uninstall all the drives and then when i plug the new one in, Re-install them as a ‘clean’/fresh install to set up the new printer (or it will do it automatically like last time)? I hope that make sense! Thank you! I have a macbook pro 15" 2015 and the printer is an epson workforce printer I would hate to uninstall it and have issues re-installing but thought it may be best to install the new one as if I never had one before.... what would you do? And sorry this must sound dumb I did check and Im pretty sure all the drivers on my mac are the newest
if they are the same mode, despite being newer, it should just be plug and play. Since theyre even of the exact same model, they would be compatble with each other, so you can just remove the old printer, plug in the new one in, and connect the new printer to your wifi etc and it should be set. I was also not sure if by drives you meant the printer drivers that you installed on the macbook? Since they are the same model, you woudnt need to "delete and reinstall" anything. It might see that there is a newer version, and update it, but it woudnt require deleting and redownloading new software
The MB Pro 13 M3 Pro supports two external display and the laptop display. It is only the base M3 chip that supports two displays. The two external displays can be 5K which I understand the Dell cannot support.
correct? yes that is true? you cannot use it after restart or boot up, as you stated, you can log in after with fingerprint, as you kind of stated aswell
I believe it’s for legal purposes. Law enforcement could force you to fingerprint unlock without a warrant but they can’t force you to give up the pin.
The test is invalid from the moment the Intel needs to be charged during the test. It seems they are still far from the M series. It's also not a negligible aspect that XPS has a terrible keyboard.
Both the XPS 14 and 16 are bad models to run intel benchmarks this year. The one to compare in the 16" category is the Lenovo Yoga Pro i9 with an Ultra 9 185h and the RTX4070
@DaMoroshka The problem with the I9 is the power efficiency sucks. The battery life is about 3 hours tops. Sure performance is good but power efficiency is becoming more important as people work longer hours away from the desk. The Qualcomm laptop that will be built on the 3nm chip will give Apple a run for their money next year. That what I am waiting to spend my money on.
iOS? MacOS is not iOS, unless you're changing your wallpapers, ringtones, launchers, UI and installing APKs on your phone every few months, you won't miss the customisation features on Android
Besides processors, Intel and AMD-based notebooks have another significant flaw - Windows (11), which hasn't been a good operating system since Windows 8 replaced Windows 7. The experience of having a contemporary Windows OS is a constant source of annoyance.

@MaxTechOfficial can you suggest Ultra processor laptop to buy for programming and video editing usage. I am a frequent traveller so it should be lightweight.
Microsoft should work on an ARM version to get Windows to take full advantage of the M chip, perhaps as sort of similar to Parallels but native. In this way even Windows gaming on Mac should be able to reach amazing performance.
Every Apple vs Windows laptop comparison I watch on any channel show the same result: when you compare a Macbook vs a Windows laptop in the same price bracket, the Macbook always comes on top in performance and battery. Every single time. Apple nailed it with their M processors.

People talk so much mess about how expensive Apple products are, but almost every video I see where there’s a comparison with a Windows computer that has similar specs the Windows computer is basically the same price if not a little more expensive…
This is the point I always make. When doing a price comparison, I generally look at Dell's website. I use their machines at work, so the comparison is a natural one. Spec for spec they're almost the same price, so the superior performance and user experience of the Mac wins for me.
Difference is more storage on the Mac costs 200+ for 250gb 😂
@@HarryMaguire69Mac is STILL cheaper after the upgrade :)
The idea that Macs are absurdly expensive was only relevant almost a decade ago but after the M chips they've become incredibly competitive for the price to performance ratio. Also PC gamers complain about the Macbooks' gaming performance for the price when these laptops weren''t meant for gaming regardless... It doesn't matter to me since I already have a 4090 7800x3d PC but prefer to do work on the MacBook. They also forget the near 4k mini-led 120hz display and the overall build quality of these things for the price.
Apple is very good value if you are looking for ultra light laptops, but if you don't care about noise, power usage and the weight of the laptop you can get much more powerful and cheaper gaming laptops.
Lack of a physical escape key is a deal breaker for a lot of developers

The Face ID equipment requires a thicker space and the MacBook’s display is very thin
@@shiriajin Then I would say the notch is absolutely redundant in the current macbook iteration

It’s a placeholder for faceid in future products. Just bring people used to it even on a laptop. 😂
If you use an Apple laptop for a long time, burn-in will inevitably occur in the menu bar area at the top of the display.
If there is a notch, people will not think of that area as the monitor area.
Even if burn-in occurs, people pay less attention.

I own both. Macbook battery life is much better. It also blows XPS 14 away while both operating on battery because the Macbook runs at full processor power while the XPS 14 throttles way way down with settings at balanced. Sound quality vastly superior on Macbook Pro.
There is an option in preferences to reduce performance in the Mac while on battery. Low power mode. It will nerf the CPU, dim the screen Ect....to increase battery.
@@nicktw8688But MaxTech has shown, in other videos, that a Mac laptop is hardly “nerfed” on Low Power Mode. What they showed is starting with the M2, the Efficiency cores became noticeably faster than on M1, so they now perform closer to the Performance cores but using much less power. That means the loss of performance from Low Power Mode is only noticeable on heavy processing workloads. So unless I need to do maximum power processing like video editing or 3D, I leave Low Power Mode set to on for battery, and off when on AC, and I hardly notice the difference.
I mean dell and hp imo one of the worst brands for a laptop like theses as they always underperform for the price they are asking or for the configuration but for me I do use a asus laptop and I get like 10 to 13hrs (when new) but now I get like 8 to 10 hours but the thing I will recommend on all windows laptops is to change the lid and power button permissions to hibernate when on battery power because Microsoft is stupid like normal and make you lose more battery when the computer is in sleep mode vs when using it normally, also dells and hp as been known for bad thermals.

I am an embedded software development engineer. Everyone in the companies I work and worked for and the majority of people at conferences I visit have Apple laptops. That is because they run Mac OS, a Unix system that runs pretty much all the tools I need, as well as Windows and Linux if I need them to. Also, they have lower TCO.

There won’t be any competition in battery comparison for at least 4-5 years, I believe
I think a better Mac build would be to go for the unbinned SoC and 1Tb. Then the prices match and the Mac would be even faster!
This comparison has no merit. It is well known that Dell XPS line is significantly overpriced. The best competition in this price range would have been the ASUS Zephyrus G14, with a RTX 4070 and 32GB RAM. The ASUS has spectacular speakers (90% of what the MacBook Pro has in my opinion), good battery life, more versatility (can game, heavy coding, etc.), and a great design to top it off.

The thing took me away from Mac is it doesn't support dual external monitor while a half price pc does
If Windows laptops are going to consistently lose to MacBooks in both efficiency and battery life, they need to make up for it in the areas where Apple deliberately refuses to improve such as consumer trust and repairability. The only Windows (defined as not MacOS) laptop I could justify if they're all going to target a similar price point is a Framework as it's basically the anti-MacBook with how much it trusts the consumer to be responsible for every part inside and to even assemble it themselves. I can't understand why some OEMs will continue to make MacBook competitors that charge the same premium for a significantly-more power hungry chip and then solder in components such as the ram and storage, at which point it just doesn't make sense to me.

But when corporations need laptops they want them to run at least for 5-7 years without upgrading them, a lot of windows machines provide that without costing a arm and a leg.
If you try buying a 1 TB and 16 GB Mac model then you'll have to pay somewhat 500 dollars extra over whatever the base pricing is, which will cost a lot for the corporate
@@ThatKoreanGamer-r5mIt’s just a matter of contract renewal, and ancient proprietary software and hardware. This is brand new tech in some ways. A lot of really old corporate environments have an entire infrastructure which just perpetuates the Windows purchases so it is essentially just grandfathered in. They have entire fleets of computers and droves of IT specialists and infrastructure all built around outdated systems, and Windows is notorious for still having backwards compatibility with ancient code. So they don’t use Windows because it’s good, they use it because they have software or hardware or internal systems that are now dependent on it. It’s cheaper to just treat the computers as disposable rather than changing their entire computing environment to use something newer and potentially better. Startups incidentally love Apple, and they don’t have archaic standards to support so they can use the best and newest technologies.
@@ThatKoreanGamer-r5m some hospital use apple imac.
@@ghost-user559 more than that windows corporate licensing is flexible and affordable.
It’s actually just the hard true,that Apple is making the best laptops for productivity
Before comparing Windows or Mac OS just remember Windows is supposed to run on all hardware. All x86 machine. And MacOS is supposed to run on only an specific machine. So they could optimize their internal code or whatever. On the other hand MacOS dedicated for any kind of professional work(That was stated by Steve Jobs years ago). But Windows is for all sort of people who wants to watch TikTok videos or do professional works. So don't compare OS-wise..
On CPU-wise M series cpu is a clear winner. And it's the M cpu which is responsible for less power use..
But Windows-based laptop manufacturers should put strong battery inside that if they are left with no other options. Years ago when apple used to have Intel CPUs also had longer battery backup. They used to have massive battery pack since Intel laptop would use more power.
But windows-based laptop manufacturers don't take into account of the battery backup. Why? Because it's meant for mass people. People would buy anyway to play video games or any other non-sense tasks...
But only Pro people buys MacBook. It's for the people who changes the world. And so Apple always makes exceptional MacBook which serves it's only purpose of serving the pro-people.

Can you upgrade this Macbook Pro later on? I mean, bigger storage, more memory?
Absolutely not. I’m having to throw away my perfectly good mid 2012 MB retina because apple wont update it any longer and I can’t use the software I need to run (parallels and solidworks). I’m having to throw away a perfectly good computer. I won’t be buying any more MB’s.
@@FlyingAceAV8B It's 12 years old, the fact that it lived for that long is a testament to Apple's support lol, you can still run bootcamp i.e any other OS you want on it though
everyone knows mac will slap any windows out of the water unplugged so what's there to be said
edit: dell is trolling with the touchbar function keys wtf no one wants it
edit again: if Dell just used a normal keyboard and removed their touchscreen they would be able to push their features to the same as the mac, absolute trolling
Probably not for long when these arm chips come in cause they'll run at full performance when unplugged,even that Dell when unplugged didn't change in performance
@@chrism869 nope unfortunately not where it matters, the rtx gets murdered when unplugged and mac's igpu(frankly barely an igpu at this point) does not
Needing to connect the XPS to power in order to unlock its highest possible performance really sucks when the competitor matches if not outperforms it in almost every category (in this specific series of tests) whilst only on battery power 🤨🤷♂ That M chip is something else.
Hello, I currently use the 14 inch m1 macbook pro, but i have been keeping an eye on the new HP Omen Transcend 14 laptop. it's very thin and surprisingly light even though it's a gaming laptop. I would love it if you could compare those laptops to each other in things like build quality, performance, battery life, things like that. I really want to get the high-spec one. the one with the RTX 4070. It has a vapor chamber and it seems very powerful overall while still being thin and light. I want to see how it would compare to a macbook.
Don't go for fancy jargons given to poor GPUs. Wait for Qualcomm windows. Intel is dead.
@@Tutelage810 good point, better to wait
Recently switched to a macbook m1 2021 as a lifelong windows user. Worst decision
My xps 15 2015 has a better hinge (the macbook wobbles when you move it vs my xps that is still solid)
My 2015 xps has a better gpu. Mac os is a pain in the a55 to use. Can't wait to go back to windows
One annoying thing with mac battery is its deceptive. It'll stay around 100% to 80% for a long time then suddenly start shooting down
Lol Dell having good hinges, good one 😂
Dell, the same company that is infamous for bad quality builds lol, maybe if you said HP or Microsoft it'd be more believable and a 2015 mobile GPU, probably the GTX 750M, being better than an M1 lol make sure you get the date right next time, even I have GTX 1050 ti gaking Laptop and my M1 air blows it out of the water.
"Apple M1 8-Core GPU outperforms GeForce GT 750M by 311% based on our aggregated benchmark results." - technical.city
Try again kid 😂😂😂😅
@haruyanto8085 no, child. They're infamous for inconsistent builds but not bad overall quality construction. My 2015 easily has a better hinge than my 2021 macbook without wobble from movement.
I think to a degree, the wobble on mac screens caused by moving the laptop is due to the demand by tech youtubers for 1 finger opening over a more sturdy overall hinge. So there's a good chance it was intentional on the part of apples design team. One thing has to give.
My m1 pro 16gb struggles with rendering intense machine learning tests compared to my xps 2015. Even game development rendering has struggled compared to what i could achieve in my xps. So in terms of real world use and not just opening up TH-cam videos like you use it for, it's not great. Doesn't help that there's a lot of incompatible software.
So I'm quite disappointed
With regards to the video export, forget the export. Show them editing the video start to finish and the XPS wont even finish the edit or do it as smoothly.
You didn't try the Mac with the power adapter.
It’s good that a mobile phone company like apple can make such a powerful laptop,
Apple isn't a mobile phone company lol, they started by making computers i.e Macintosh
@@Hhhh22222-w dont worry, its a joke thats completely lost on you
if snapdragon x elite enters, intel and amd will face a huge downfall in their market share.
The only thing that's possibly better on Windows laptops costing as much as a Macbook could be windows. That's it. Everything else is much superior on the MacBook
Windows OS is horrible, the navigation functions are great but getting bloatware pre-installed, and now ads? For a product you paid for is garbage
So odd by Dell and Intel. Dell XPS 14 performed better unplugged. Still behind M3 Pro Macbook Pro on single and multi-core levels.
Dell XPS looks better in the webcam tests. The sound is also clearer. The MacBook looks too red
I agree , webcam and sound is better in XPS ( from what was recorded in this clip )
Honestly, the only time it makes sense to get a Windows laptop over a MacBook is if you don't need that type of performance and would rather get a slightly cheaper device whilst still having the latest Intel/AMD CPUs
16:00 Different render formats! Why? Mp4 for Dell and QuickTime for apple!
And Dell is also sets to auto in Encoder!
Not really, we want a laptop efficient like the apple silicon, without apple price-policy, without a closed eco-system, expendable (M2-Slots, RAM-Slots), performance on Battery and on plug. it doesn't matter what architecture (ARM, Apple silicon, x86). The tendancy to solder on every device and make it not repairable, is the reason why my daily driver now is over 10 years old. i bought now an old MBA M1 to test if that suit my needs, in terms of performance (on battery) and endurance (battery) YES, in terms of price-policy, closed eco-system, upgradebility (storage and RAM), connectivity NO. Repairability it depends (one good thing is ports are not soldered to the logic board)
Apple Silicon IS ARM.
Price policy? Thats the Apple that is CHEAPER than the competition in this very video?
Closed eco-system? Its a laptop. It runs all the software from all the companies that make a Mac version. What is closed about it?
@@MichaelGGarry is the price advantage of apple still valid with the same amount of RAM and storage? The processed data are of the same size on intel and on apple systems, a 4K Video of 5 minutes or 5 hours has the same amount of data, a 4k-picture is not half the size on an apple system. And as i wrote the tendancy to solder on devices is now also on a few intel systems, it started back with the 5th gen of intel cpus.
So price comparison only valid with same amount of storage and RAM.
Swapping is not a feature but a diability aid.
@@MichaelGGarry Yeah quite a stupid comment from him, I just got a mac and coming from linux yeah something are more closed (Like I cannot compile the OS) but I don't see how that is considered a locked-down system when coming from windows which is probably even more locked than macos.
Also I never understood why people consider mac expensive, laptops are never cheap, they probably try to compare a business class laptop (macbook pro, dell xps, lenovo carbon or p series) to gaming laptops which are half the price since they have amazing specs with trash quality build
@@MichaelGGarry Price Policy I think they mean the upcharge on RAM and SSD.
The issue with Mac is that they do generally drop legacy support faster than Windows, and a lot of software does not have a Mac version. For example when Apple dropped 32-bit support a lot of old apps or games from the 2000s stopped working. Eventually like with Rosetta 1, they will drop Rosetta 2 and all your Intel binaries will stop working. It's not a matter of if, but a matter of when. You can also run any Linux distro on a Windows laptop while there are no stable Linux distros on mac.
Also terms of price- you can definitely still find cheaper alternatives. The Zephyrus G14 and Lenovo Slim 9i are both competitively priced. And generally speaking Windows laptops will go on sale more especially near the end of their yearly cycle.
Yeah, I don't need 512GB or 16GB yet but some people do, and Apple is just being greedy for storage 😢
bro, take off the difference Macbook Pro M3 on Windows (Parallels) vs Dell XPS 14. I want to feel humiliated.
Widows and Intel get wiped out. Good for me since I am all Apple - laptop, phone and tablet :D
Wondering why you are going with the XPS for comparison?
We compare to the XPS every year
Ok then the focus should be dell Vs Mac not intel Vs mac. The part of the title that says Mac destroys intel is misleading because that's not your focus for this video. That title will make sense if you chose the intel line up this year and did a comparison with a similarly priced Mac. And in that video your choice should probably be a laptop without a dedicated gpu. Like the Asus Zenbook 14 2024 or something similar
@@kassimbalogun2301maybe you should make your own video as you describe. Perhaps someone, somewhere will watch it….someday
Awesome comparison!
I think the comparison is fundamentally flawed. The person who buys an XPS 14 is a busy business person doing multiple tasks, or an enthusiast who needs something that pushes a bit beyond the norm.
On the contrary, the person who buys the Macbook Pro with the Pro chip expects a professional laptop. The catch is that it can do much but in a relatively well defined arena.
2400$$ for a laptop that has an RTX4050?? Who buys that? With the same price there are better laptops that are dedicated for graphics demand work that can easily use a RTX4090 with a i9 13k
Some people may be interested in a laptop that is actually power efficient, and lightweight...
@@skylermoreno2277 well if there is not need for raw power and to be mostly confortable then buying a mac is a smart choice, since windows laptops and pc are known to be usable power machines for budget users
If only there was a way to run 32-bit code on Apple Silicon, everything would be different, but the fact that it's not currently possible makes Apple Silicon not even half as attractive especially for gaming.
PS5 for gaming. Unbeatable price. Full compatibility for many years no crashes. Gaming heaven. Everything else: Mac
@@jamesnyers1721 If Sony lets Steam onto their console maybe lol. But that's more likely to happen on XBox 🤔
@@doriphor I kind of agree. Any console is better than a PC laptop for gaming. By the way what is steam good for? It's just a store you buy the games from. You can do the same thing on Xbox or PlayStation
@@jamesnyers1721 It usually has a much larger library and the games I bought in 2004 are still there and available to play. I think that's the greatest advantage!
@@jamesnyers1721 Steam has a lot more competitive pricing since they are not a monopoly and you can also source games elsewhere like GOG or Epic. PC gaming's biggest advantage is the heavy modding support and general open-endness, you can mod many games yourself or download them. Playing Skyrim or Cities Skylines on PC is a completely different experience than on Xbox/PS. PC also has the widest game selection because both MS and nowadays Sony too put their games on PC whereas going for a console will lock you out of a lot of games.
At what minute does he start the games to compare the fps, help me figure it out
cry about it typical kids with these comments macbook aint for gaming plus its cheaper than that and still beat the crap out of in term of performance and battery lmao want to hear more?
@@GamerAgentYT Yes he compared an expensive macbook to a terrible xps 14 that literally nobody recommends. Rerun the tests with zephygr 14 and see how apple gets slammed by a cheaper laptop lmao.
@@welshe222 that crap laptop is something y’all can’t afford lol plus it’s higher price still shit and about the laptop you saying that can compete but doesn’t win lol
The air intake for the Apple is on the left and right of the keyboard. Where is the exhaust of the Dell coming out? Can the lack of air from the left side on the Apple take a performance hit because of this?
Intel isnt going anywhere. As long as Windows does more than OSX, x86 and Intel atent going anywhere.
Braghin about chip speed when a Mac still does less than a comparable Windows machine makes you guys a joke.
I agree macbook sound quality is great compared to the various windows laptops I have used. It would be helpful if Max Tech had a few more tests for sounds, at both low and high volume. One thing I noticed on my M1 Pro compared to my old Asus Zen book, is how much better music sounds when played even at low volume. I tend to take my laptop with me on vacation and I like to listen to my music collection on my Macbook in the room at night, I used to play it though my iPhone, but when I got my M1 Macbook Pro I started using it to play music and it's amazing how good the Macbook sounds on the hotel desk when playing soundtracks and classical music on low volume. Not as good as say a nice headset but still quite good.
I don't get why you would buy a laptop if it has to be plugged in to do anything. Seems like if you want Windows based software then buy a desktop. I wouldn't want something with portability only to be handcuffed to a power source.
Hey Craig, LLM are only stats on enormous data . Is it capable of originality? I think it can’t be be better that the data trained on it
Dud you used the igpu instead of the nvidia one for the gpu test
Those red arrows on the graphs are great!
The thing is, the XPS's graphics are very underpowered(Talking about wattage). Dell simply doesn't provide enough power to the graphics for them to work, but either which way, I would still go for a MacBook any day of the week
Remember this is the M3 Pro MB Pro 14 not the M3 Max that would have even more powerful CPU & GPU multicore.
@@ahaimes6320 Yeah I do agree, its just that I don't think the XPS is a great comparison for the MBP, there are other windows laptops that are a way better value than the XPS.
SSD read/write comparisons on my M3 Pro MacBook Pro (36GB ram/1 TB ssd) tested with the Blackmagicdesign app: Read = 5055 / Write = 6342. So, my system beats out the Dell XPS 14 in Write results: 6342 vs 5207. but still is slower than the Dell in Read results: 5054 vs 7045. BTW, I think the webcam system on the MBP is slightly better but I could hear the voice frequencies easier on the Dell.(but the voice frequency on the MBP is probably closer to "reality sounding" than the Dell.
Also did you do a comparison of the intel cpu amongst windows competitors e.g lenovo, asus before deciding which laptop to use for this video?
Reupload?
Now compare the XPS16 with the Macbook Pro 16. (Both max specs please 🙏🏼)
is it on purpose? why would u pickup dell knows to be the most expensive brand. another thing noone with senses would get 4050 gpu in laptop. does it have optimus or similar? if testing fps on gpu with optimus or similar u should connect extrnal monitor otherwise the gpu is slowed down by design. about the mac. how about the 256gb disc? does is have same 1/2 perfoormance against 512gb? that info i d like to know from test. this is comparing tomatos with potatoes for me
Again, this bs, Dell isn't the most expensive brand, MS and Alienware are more expensive, please stop feeling like it's unfair this victim mentality mindset apple haters have is ridiculous
I was a windows laptop user before for decades. Since my brothers gave me their old IMAC and MacBook Pro, for me you will really get your moneys worth with Apple products. It's still usable after more than 5 years unlike the Windows laptops which slowdown and malfunctios even after 2-3 years. I think you can use Apple products even for 10 years.
Apple silicon is King 👑
Planning to buy the m2 pro cant afford m3 pro. But i think m2 pro will do it for basic music production.
Technically TSMC silicon is king. Apple just uses it well.
@@slowvomit AMD also uses TSMC so it’s not just TSMC. Props to Apple engineers
@@SunsetNova did i say it was just TSMC? I think i said the opposite. My point stands "it is TSMC silicon, not Apple silicon". Oh and btw everybody uses TSMC silicon. Nvidia, Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, Apple... They all use TSMC atm.
@@slowvomit Exactly so if everyone uses TSMC then the fact Apple is so far ahead means they deserve credit hence why I said Apple silicon is King. Your point is moot.
i dont know why, when I had the M3 macbook. it hurt my eyes, my eyes felt like i was cross-eyed. I think its the 16:10 ratio and glossy screen, but yes, the Apple's do perform very well.. but....i went back to my 700.00 HP laptop
The M3 is just amazing. Can't wait to get my hands on an Elite X Snapdragon and do the same test under Windows again. This will be a ringer... until the M4 comes out!
Dont show graphics performance.. if you wanna game mac is not the option to go and that’s pretty huge difference in my opinion. And if its just about work then I think yeah go for mac.
Apple silicon Macs GPU is pretty strong
If games were made by devs then mac GPU would be more than enough to run them. Maybe not beating the best of Windows as they have a headstart over optimisation and performance. Without the games on macOS, Windows is best for gaming. However, I game on a console which means I can buy the MB Pro instead of the XPS 14 and get a much better laptop.

I just recieved a replacement printer- the other one had issues.
They are exactly the same model and make, although this one of course is a few years newer (2021 vs 2024)
Would it be best to remove the printer, and uninstall all the drives and then when i plug the new one in, Re-install them as a ‘clean’/fresh install to set up the new printer (or it will do it automatically like last time)? I hope that make sense! Thank you!
I have a macbook pro 15" 2015 and the printer is an epson workforce printer
I would hate to uninstall it and have issues re-installing but thought it may be best to install the new one as if I never had one before.... what would you do?
And sorry this must sound dumb
I did check and Im pretty sure all the drivers on my mac are the newest
if they are the same mode, despite being newer, it should just be plug and play. Since theyre even of the exact same model, they would be compatble with each other, so you can just remove the old printer, plug in the new one in, and connect the new printer to your wifi etc and it should be set.
I was also not sure if by drives you meant the printer drivers that you installed on the macbook?
Since they are the same model, you woudnt need to "delete and reinstall" anything. It might see that there is a newer version, and update it, but it woudnt require deleting and redownloading new software
1:40 I believe the Dell supports 3 external plus it's own screen. The Apple device only supports 2 external screens when it's own is off afaik.
The MB Pro 13 M3 Pro supports two external display and the laptop display. It is only the base M3 chip that supports two displays. The two external displays can be 5K which I understand the Dell cannot support.
A 14.5/14.6 MacBook Pro will be a perfect choice between wider screen and portability. 16,2 Pro is so huge to carry in a bag but 14,2 is Little screen
They actually updated the pricing! Its 300 dollars cheaper for every model now

Both the XPS 14 and 16 are bad models to run intel benchmarks this year. The one to compare in the 16" category is the Lenovo Yoga Pro i9 with an Ultra 9 185h and the RTX4070
Intel I9's suck with battery life.
@DaMoroshka The problem with the I9 is the power efficiency sucks. The battery life is about 3 hours tops. Sure performance is good but power efficiency is becoming more important as people work longer hours away from the desk. The Qualcomm laptop that will be built on the 3nm chip will give Apple a run for their money next year. That what I am waiting to spend my money on.
@DaMoroshka the computer is called "Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i" for some reason but it comes with an Intel Ultra 9, not an Intel i9

Besides processors, Intel and AMD-based notebooks have another significant flaw - Windows (11), which hasn't been a good operating system since Windows 8 replaced Windows 7. The experience of having a contemporary Windows OS is a constant source of annoyance.
