  • Macbook Air M2, 8Gb vs Surface Laptop 7 Snapdragon X Elite and 16GB RAM
    The Macbook puts in a very respectable performance against the Surface Laptop but in spite of running FL Studio natively is still using more of its processor than the Surface Laptop (which also has to run the App in its own x86 emulation layer)
    All that aside, the biggest surprise for me was just how well the SQ3 ARM based Surface Pro 9 from last year performed in this same battle on this channel!
    Note that the Windows 11 version used here was the initial release with all day one updates completed

    How Snapdragon X Elite handles latency?!

    Hey have you been able to test any 3rd party vsts? Thanks for doing this!

    The touch screen impacts performance as well so it can never be 1:1 with Macbook. Perhaps you can disable that.

    👍🏽 great to see this new arm win laptop running FL studio non-native app so well. I'm tempted to replace my Intel laptop soon.

      Go for it! Wait, belay that if you are running a control surface check that the driver has been recompiled for ARM

    nice comparison - though will be interesting to see how it performs once ASIO drivers are available for Windows on ARM

    Would you mind doing a video decoding comparison with UA-cam 4k60 and 8k60 videos ? Curious to see how many frames the Elite chip drops if any.
