Can you please compare the 14 in M3 pro 12/18 to the 14 in M3 max 14/30 to see if it throttles and if it’s worth the extra $400-$800?
When you say "partnered" you really mean sponsored by Intel x Lenovo. Yes? Because this is a rather unbalanced comparison, a compact 14" vs bulky 16" chassis and thermal dissipation capabilities. No mention whatsoever of package wattage consumption and battery life as you are so often of mentioning in Mac vs Mac reviews. Honest eh?
get that paper.. forget about showing full reviews.
Damn Vadim looked like he was held as hostage by Intel and Lenovo 😂
It's Max.
sponsored. paid promotion.
I use Macbook pro M1 as my work computer and it is an absolutely fantastic machine but I recently bought the Legion Slim 7 AMD version for home use. 32GB + 8 GB of RAM and 2TB of SSD was $1500, a Macbook Pro M3 would have been $5000. The Legion does not have the same battery life as the Macbook but otherwise it is as pleasant and silent as the Mac in normal use.
What is the battery life like?
Battery life is not a big deal. I carry around a 100 ft extension cable.
Silent as the Mac in normal use hahahahaha
@@djutsum It has a huge battery so about 6-7 hours. The AMD is also quite powerful even on battery power so it is comparable to the M1 pro.
@@AndroidGamingApps with teams, outlook , Jupiter lab and tensor flow + some safari tabs the Mac fans spin at about 2500 rpm - the same as the legion but the Mac fans are less audible. Running games on the Mac is more noisy than the legion (warthunder)
I stopped watching as soon as I heard “partnered with Intel and Lenovo.”
😂
Yep I agree and it’s not like other youtube channels where the company sends it for review and it’s not biased like this😢
No wonder there was no battery test and no mention the Lenovo was plugged in during the test.
real same here lmao
I realized there is also the thumb down button which i haven’t used for ages 😂
This test didn't show all the comparisons you usually make with the Mac. Unplug/plug battery, Fan noise, Speakers, Screen quality, the Windows look much bulkier, etc
Exactly! This review is paid and biased! Too bad, that’s not very objective!
Interestingly enough, there were no trackpad comparisons.
The slim is a gaming laptop of course it’s thick🤦♂️
As someone who uses both Macs and Windows computers I appreciated the raw power comparison for the buck. And, if you're a Mac user you should appreciate it as well. We need to keep Apple accountable for their pricing. It's already well established that Mac laptops are vastly more portable when it comes to battery life and often size/weight. I expect to pay a premium for that, but I don't expect a Windows laptop to wipe the floor with it in performance either and that's exactly what this video showed. Apple must do better on pricing to at least come somewhat closer in price/performance with its competition. This is no good.
@@Cowicide true. I just saw a Dell with 3.5K resolution , 32 GB DDR5 RAM, i9 13900H, RTX 4060 , 1 TB for $2199.
Those are some pretty impressive numbers from both sides.
Are both computers plugged in or unplugged during the tests? If so, what is the difference in battery drainage between the two?
Obviously the Mac is much better un battery life. That's where it shines actually.
Intel laptop is definitely plugged in without it performance drops dramatically
Unplugged?
these things are important.... a code build project would be interesting to see - see how many builds it could do the same project, unplugged and on a full charge...
A MacBookPro does not need to be plugged in
This was the shortest laptop test I have ever seen on this channel. I wish Lenovo would have allowed him to say where the machine is lacking. He did mention a diving trackpad which is a BIG deal to me. Battery life was not mentioned. Performance on battery. It is obvious the machine is way larger but there was not a mention that i can think of (in terms of thickness and weight) Like that it has all the ports, all the expansion and all that. I edit my videos on a 15" macbook air with 16GB of ram and 512ssd. It runs very well with Davinci Resolve compared to my intel macbook pro. Battery is excellent and the computer is very cool running. I am sure my computer will not game well but that is not what it is for. Sure do wish it had at least 2 more usb c ports on the machine on the other side.
Almost like they didn't want to show that those stats are only achieved with a jet engine sound while plugged in vs a macbook that was on battery without even turning on the fans.
yep, after speding time on these new Macs, I cannot stand the feel of most other computers. I am so glad the butterfly keyboard is gone! That was terrible. The trackpad however is GLORIOUS!@@TheEfarfan
I would like to see a comparison between Lenovo 7i pro with RTX 4090 and 16 inch Macbook Pro with M3 Max. I have the Lenovo after switching from 16 inch M1 pro, I love the performance, gaming, keyboard and Windows UI on Lenovo (window snapping, file explorer, etc). On the Mac I loved the trackpad, battery life and quiet and cool operation. I wonder if the M3 Max is now on par with 4090 laptop. Please test it?
"window snapping" first thing I always disable,.
No it´s not on par... Base model M3 Max GPU performance is a little slower than a 4070 and the 40core GPU version is a little slower than the 4080 mobile. So not even in the same league as the 4090. Maybe the M3 Ultra will be in that territory, for double the price of course.
In gaming performance it is not in the same galaxy 😅 only a handful of games work good on Mac, but no way near as good as on PC.
Can you confirm how's the performance of the laptop and if these test scores by Max are plugged-in or unplugged performance of Lenovo?
ever use windows trackpad it really worth using you can modify some of its functions
They were very careful not to go in on the Intel laptop… I wonder why…
sponsored.
the top of the description says everything. We honestly can't trust Max Tech. He's just a shill
Does he goes hard at MacBooks? Don't think so, there are tests that can humiliate MacBooks😅
i can't believe i just watched a 10 minutes ad
And took the time to comment. You'll never get that time back you know....
Two things, were the tests run with or without being plugged in? How did they compare for battery endurance (think I know the answer)?
Yes we all know. This is a sponsored video from Intel and Lenovo, that’s most likely why he didn’t mention it
I noticed that too
It’s a gaming laptop, you’re supposed to use it plugged in😭
@@robfrost3789 It probably comes with complimentary blue screens and the incessant need to security update every ten to fifteen minutes as well! Those two things would mitigate any performance gains.
@@jimtipton8888 both OS have there pros and cons and anyone who says otherwise is a fan of that system.
Both products are great, and both have their issues.
I'm looking for a new computer to replace a 14 year old Dell i7. I'm using videos like this to help me choose a new one.
I just find it amusing that when windows beats an Apple product in a few tests how apple fans bring battery life up. Yes they are better at that but windows laptops at similar prices are better at other things which is great as choice is great for consumers :-)
Currently I'm 50/50 what to get, I'm looking to get something in the new year so the new M3 came at a good time for me, at least I don't have to wait and see what might come out in the future :-)
Tests are pluggued on or using battery only for the Lenovo??
Now run these tests again but on battery.
Now test the battery 😂😂
Apple will destroy it
Lenovo is coming with Qualcomm's Oryon CPU in 2024, then see who is battery king!
The biggest quest have (and maybe I missed this in the video) is we’re both machines compared plugged in, or was this unplugged?
The Intel machine was plugged in
It's a MacBookPro. No need to plug it in
@@luxurybuzz3681 that’s my point. Intel has long had performance issues when unplugged. MacBook Pro has not.
obviously plugged in. comparing performances when the laptops aren't plugged in doesn't make sense because windows laptops are going to performance worse.
If you push MacBooks hard - battery indicator drops in real time 😅😅😅 maybe it won't even survive the whole testing 😅 MacBook battery is only great when you do easy work ( non power hungry stuff like browsing and etc)
This type of sponsored review really makes me think twice about trusting this channel.
I appreciate the time and such you've been giving the the MacBook Pro. I would very much like to see you dive into the maxed out iMac as I have to consider getting one for now for streaming my show in ECAMM Live.
This video is basically Intel and Lenovo admitting that MacBooks are a threat lol. Apple and Qualcomm are currently leading with these RISC chips.
no RISC chips, they are ARM chips.
@@yenjun0204 Apple silicon is RISC.
battery ?
Does Lenovo being on battery have the same performance as you showed. It wasn’t too clear on this test normally you are really good showing difference but fell lacking today.
Appreciate the denoise test
I'd rather use a base M1 MacBook Air than ANY Flagship Windows Laptop.
I still prefer Razor for Windows laptops, particularly because you can test out their laptops with a lot of gaming software in their stores in their gaming rooms. Intel has clearly gone with more power draw on 13th and 14th generation processors to get more performance and I was a bit surprised that there was no battery life testing in the video. Is that in a different video? I'm still rocking the M1 Pro MacBook Pro 16 and still love it and I get 12 hours of battery life for casual use and 6 hours for production. I suspect that the M3 Pro MacBook Pro 16 would give me another hour for production and that would be nice to have but I can carry a tiny charging brick with me to get in 7 hours for my work day.
I looked up the performance per watt comparing the 13900K to the Apple M1 and the Intel chip is 37% the PPW of the M1. I imagine that it's even less comparing it to the M3. That hefty cooling system and large battery allow the performance of the Lenovo.
The fans on my M1 Pro MacBook Pro very rarely come on, even when I'm running my production workload and it is nice to have a cool and quiet system.
I think that a better comparison would have been the MacBook Pro 16 for comparable screen sizes. I also missed speaker, webcam, display and microphone comparisons and there was no indication on whether or not the benchmark runs were on battery or power cord.
Can it be delivered with linux with full hardware driver support?
Have they made sound test during rendering or any other hardware tough tasks?
Thank you for performing that comparison. The Legion looks great! I need access to both types of computer for work (programming) and I currently have a Mac Studio M2 Max; it's decent, but I could also do with a decent-performing Windows machine, and a laptop could be good for that. Plus it's good for games. (Discord STILL doesn't seem to work properly for me on my Mac when it comes to audio routing - that's probably more to do with Discord than the Mac as I know that OBS works fine with it.)
I think the base models of Macs are usually OK - depending on what you go for - but the price of upgrades and the fact that they are not available ex-stock are both absolutely ridiculous. I like that Macs are usually less power-hungry and quieter, and yet it seems that they're going away from that in the M3 range. (Though I did see a low power-mode setting video recently; might have been yours, I don't remember; that was good to know about!).
This was a great way to show off the pc talking points. Those fans do a great job removing heat from the 150W TDP combo which can’t be fully met by the USBC PD (No Thunderbolt), let alone charge too and 6.1lb featherweight - definitely a buyer with different priorities than the Mac user. Run those benchmarks on battery alone until both machines die and we will see which is the stronger. Even with the almost 30% larger battery in the Lenovo.
Who even uses their laptop in battery mode? Most of the time you can plug it in the office, home, or even a car😅
Battery mode is for non demanding work only. Even a MacBook in battery mode will drain its battery in no time, if you push it hard ( rendering or gaming)
I mean we all know battery is going to be better on the MacBook.
What I'm interested in is were these tests on Lenovo performed unplugged or plugged?? Because if that is unplugged performance then it's amazing. If not, then we all know the performance is going to decrease by about 40% on the Lenovo when unplugged.
@@ibraheem1224 thats likely plugged in frankly. the gpu wouldn't ramp up like that unplugged but as you can see if you need absolute performance this is what you need. As someone that was sick of windows laptops and went to macbooks in 2019. I'm feeling more and more like going back to windows for gaming purposes. But man macbooks are so nice to use and so easy to just go "im getting a macbook, I need all the performance, I'll take THAT one". I really see windows laptops as better in 1. Games 2. AI. 3. 3d rendering software an things that aren't mac compatible. Ugh frustrating. Wish we could get AMD, NVIDIA, and Apple in a room to make the perfect laptop for us. (ROFL)
apple is already working on a battery than can last 50-60 hours... that is the future... look how much battery you get on the M3 MBP (22 hours battery life) @@hhkk6155
@@zt9233just get a steam deck if you want to game. You’ll be happier that way
This video lacked the normal enthusiasm you all usually have when Macs beat a Windows machine....
You should have added another row for the Lenovo unplugged
Hey Max Tech, would you recommend the Legion Slim 7i over the Samsung Book3 Ultra with 4070? I'm curious which one is better, considering the Samsung Book technically throttles performance.
I used to use Macs then switched to PCs. However, due to the instability of Windows, I pretty much made up my mind to buy a MacBook Pro.
same viruses should be a thing of the past!
Where is the battery test bro??
How does the Lenovo perform when you pull the mains power cord? Battery endurance?
Very useful comparison. Any data about battery life differences?
Performance not on mains power? Battery life? Fan noise levels? Quite mode performance with matched fan noise?
very conveniently forgetting the unplugged performance test and battery life comparison which would be essential if you are purchasing a laptop, wouldn't you agree? Why else would you go with one instead of a desktop? very biased testing due to the sponsorship as this is usually a biiiiig point in your comparisons between platforms...
This review is completely bogus and dishonest. You just simply conveniently forgotten to mention that the MacBook runs on battery why Intel Windows laptop is running plugged in from the socket.
That would have easily cut the performance of Lenovo to less than half.
You forgot to talk about power and battery
Why not unplug that Windows garbage and compare with MacBook Pro? We all know what will happen. Those x64 processors are power hungry, noise making and heater beast
Your comment history is telling
That's why I don't have a grill.
I just use a windows laptop to cook myself BBQ
So you did all of those tests unplugged just from battery?
Test them unplugged, you know that’s an important aspect of laptop performance. Or did the terms of your sponsorship prohibit that?
This review wasn't as good as usual. It was just a sponsored video showing the talking points of the sponsor. You didn't go in depth on the speakers, webcam, battery life, etc. This didn't go in-depth enough as it usually does.
It's sponsored by Lenovo, that's why you have no mention of both machines being plugged in and battery test.
Are those results for unplugged or just plugged ? Because it’s no surprise windows gaming laptop killing MacBook , the problem is at what tdp it does so , and within portable pc it’s quite important if your shiny cpu can run at 20-30w or need 80w and at 50w losses half of its performance
Obviously the results are plugged in and with Mac You Will keep the performance unplugged. But if You value RAW power and speed and have a graphic intesive workflow like VFX, you'll be better off with a Gaming Laptop with dedicated RTX GPU, it Will be cheaper to max out un RAM and Storage and the tradeoff is battery life but not missing much in other things either.
sponsored. paid promotion.
just zoomed in looks like the Lenovo was plugged in not well hidden even though you tried what's it like on battery
OK, that's half a comparision. So how does the Lenovo do unplugged? what is the battery life comparison? and what about fan noise?
‘Not a lot of hot zones’ translates to me that you can cook an egg on the unfortunate ‘hot zone’ 😂
where are the speakers and monitor comparisons?
Thanks. Please include atleast one code compilation benchmarks like the xcode benchmark. Thanks.
I've always loved the Lenovo.. I use one.. Old one.. Yoga 730.. Trying to find new gigs and save up to get the legion slim 7i.. With these specs actually..
Although I was initially looking at the 6th gen, so 2022 gen with 3060 since it will be way cheaper now..
I'd be so happy if I get this..
Can you please make a comparison between the MacBook Pro and the Legion Slim 5 14”?
Thanks for your amazing content.
We need more tests done brother!
Sure sure. Everything's awesome, just remember to find a wild wall socket when you're on the go.
@MaxTechOfficial, please clarify if the Lenovo was Plugged into Mains Power or not?
As the M3 Pro, being and SOC, would be the same either way , however Intel x86 and Dedicated Nvidia GPU would use way more power and are throttled on Battery.
Despite this, an M3 Pro is not a fair comparison other than price. The Legion Slim should be compared to a Binned M3 Max MacBook Pro 16 and you know it.
You need to compare the new Macs with the Surface Laptop Studio 2. Nobody chooses between a gaming laptop like the Lenovo Legion and a productivity machine like the Macbook. The Surface comparison makes much more sense since they both target the same audience.
Can you do a comparison between the M2 Pro and M3 Pro 12 Core
There is no processor with the name 13980H, there is HX.The one in the video is 13900H. 6P core and and 8E Core.
It's a shame, that there are no DAW tests. I know, that Logic Pro is mac only, but there are some others like ProTools, Cubase, Reaper. Maybe you could do this for future Mac vs Pc tests?
*VERY UNFAIR REVIEW* . You didn't mention if the windows laptop was running on battery or plugged in.
We all know that this makes a *BIG* difference since the battery is unable to sustain the huge power draw from the intel cpu & nvidia gpu, THUS giving bad performance while not plugged in.
It's not a review.
alright, in that case compare a core i9 desktop 14900k with whatever M3 ultra pro max max max, and that would be much more fair comparison, watch apple silicon getting smacked by intel. As far as battery and performance balance is concerned, I will give it to Apple.
What about battery life?
@@sercan272727this laptop with amd 7940 can run 9 hrs.
@@sercan272727 Better user interface? That's very subjective. Battery life should be important to anyone considering a laptop. What other software options are out there that aren't on a Mac and don't say games because nobody in their right mind buys a laptop for gaming.
How about battery usage in Lenovo?
With an Intel CPU...it's gonna be rubbish. He didn't really need to test that......
Was the Lenovo plugged in vs battery power on the Mac? this used to be a pretty open channel why no transparency? idk I would probably also tuck my conscience away while cashing some checks.
See when you get sponsored you only tell half the story...come on! You can do better than this. smh
As an architectural designer I would be interested in seeing a comparison to the Apple M3 Max chip with 16‑core CPU, 40‑core GPU, 16‑core Neural Engine, 128GB unified memory, 2TB SSD storage vs a more affordable windows laptop. Currently using Chief Architect x15 and they are claiming a windows pc laptop is better for RTRT and Physically Based Rendering. Rendering is key to my business and I was hoping the new M3 would be able to compete better. You could download a trial of each program and they have sample projects you could download to show the difference in rendering.
Would you mind doing the test between Lenovo Slim 7 and M3 Max/Pro 16inch
battery? speakers? webcam?
The Lenovo has 1 tb the MacBook 512 gb cmon man why you have it plugged in
It’s the same old story with Windows machines. I am switching to the Mac because of the stability it delivers. The hardware quality, the extended life of the machine, the software upgrades that just don’t ruin everything, the support, the battery., and the so on. You get the best performance now with a Windows machine, but long term, it just dies on you one way or another. Apple’s devices definitely have some limitations, but overall, the experience is far better than any Windows machine can offer, not to mention the ecosystem stuff, of course.
I have very old Macs and Windows machines humming away using them as Plex servers and other esoteric tasks. Neither is "dying" except the Macs because of known graphics card issues so I had to run firmware hacks to disable the faulty card. Apple needs to get a handle on their pricing. No reason to make excuses for them.
Older macs are more reliable, newer Macs die all the time - SSD, keyboards, displays and other stuff. Years go bye and apple laptops have the same old problems. And even apples warranty is bad nowadays - their water sensors trip from humidity and they deny you warranty repair.
Lol wait until one of their soldered components fail, total garbage!
I travel a lot and would like to know how much the lenovos performance drops when on battery only
PLEASE DO 8GB MAC VS 16GB WINDOWS
Well, at least the check cleared.
It's impressive that the Lenovo Legion 7i is faster than the M3 MacBook Pro 14", but the battery life on the Lenovo won't match the MacBook Pro, I have used a MacBook Air and the battery life on that laptop is far better than my Windows machine, so even though the performance is better than the MacBook Pro, the battery life of the MacBook Pro is far better than the Lenovo laptop and because the Lenovo Legion was plugged in, the performance on battery will 50% lower than when it's plugged, making the MacBook Pro the better choice for productivity on battery power.
Not withstanding, the Legion 7i is a good laptop for the gamers out there, but my eye is on the Qualcomm X Elite SoC to challenge the Apple Silicon.
Battery life is nice, but if the Windows machine can wipe the floor with the Mac and finish some tasks in half the time for the same price with a bigger screen then it doesn't look as compelling for the Mac at all. Spending double the time wastes both time and battery. This is not good for Apple. They need to make their pricing more competitive.
I’ve owned a MacBook Pro M1 Pro before having owning a Lenovo Legion Slim. Besides battery and Display quality, MacBook Pros are overpriced rips offs compared to Windows laptops, and I’m saying this as an Apple fan. Windows laptops can pack more performance with decent battery life for the price than MacBooks.

Exactly, some argue that the M3 Pro is a downgrade from the M2 Pro due to the additional E core, resulting in 6 P Cores and 6 E Cores, whereas the M2 had 8 P Cores and 4 E Cores. I believe there might be more to it than just a battery life improvement of the M3 Pro.

Cool that Max “teamed up” with Lenovo and Intel. It’s clear that definitely didn’t influence his approach at all.
What about battery life
This is the type of comparison I’ve been wanting to see… with one caveat. Why are you partnering with Intel and [PC manufacturer] to compare PC vs Mac? Absolutely no hate just my honest opinion: I felt like it led to a different outcome than we would have seen otherwise; where’s the tests unplugged? The test with Intel and MX Power Gadget to see the power draw? And also why compare the 14” to a much bigger PC with more cooling?
Anyway while those things might have rubbed me the wrong way I still appreciate the work you guys do and thanks for the video!
Yeah advertised reviews video is just pointless, it looks like he make us watch 10 minute ads for free 😂

@@hhkk6155 GPU maybe but Mac beats PC in CPU as usual
@@Epicgamer_Mac you didn't watch the test? PC CPU is more powerful in real world applications, and that is not even a shocker 😔 but getting 2x of GPU performance is
@@hhkk6155 Please keep in mind that the M3 Max gets nearly twice the CPU performance of the M3 Pro and well over twice the GPU. Since this is an i9 laptop it should have been compared to the M3 Max and there would have been no competition. The M3 Max is not just objectively the fastest laptop CPU out there, but it holds its own against high-end desktop chips from Intel and AMD.
For example, Cinebench - 1721 on my M3 Max vs 1907 on the i9 13900K in my liquid-cooled gaming PC. Yes obviously the i9 is overclocked. Let me just say if it weren't that I still need Windows for some of my games, I'd have sold the PC after getting this M3 Max.
If you plan to game, get Lenovo, you can buy a macbook m3 max and it won’t run online games with anticheat or you’ll have to pay for crossover to get some windows games with very bad performance. That said, battery issue here is non-existent because you can take your laptop downstairs, upstairs, to your friends house and just plug it in.
If you however use it for work and take it out form the house more often, then the M3 pro is a no brainer, superior battery life, better display and will get the work done wherever you are.
battery life?
Is it 13900h or 13980h?
I'm honestly not thrilled with ports being on the back. I don't care how good the laptop is. But that webcam switch is fantastic.

Isn't it kind of weird to do a comparison video where you explicitly partnered with the vendor of one of the two products? I'm sure both are excellent products, but you can't expect to be seen as impartial when you've partnered with Lenovo for a video that compares a Lenovo to anything else.
what about the battery?
Would love to see the m3 max compared against the legion. That would be a more level comparison with the 14 and 16 inch MacBooks.
Doesn't the max cost much more than the legion?
It does. I’d love to see the comparison. The max is more expensive but the legion had a much more powerful gpu. Would love to see them compared regardless of cost.

Way better screen (accuracy, contrast, HDR, P3 gamut etc)
Way better build quality

and not Microsoft ads in your start menu.
Windows 11 basically is a sponsored billboard.
The M3 Max also is more than twice as fast as the M3 Pro and more in line with the RTX4080.
@@DennisSchmitz There will never be MS ads on my Windows machine. I eliminate them same as I do with auto-updates as well. I barely interface with an OS anyway. For example on macOS I use apps like Alfred/Launchbar - same type of apps on Windows I utilize means I rarely see the start menu in the first place.
Way better screen is debatable. Build quality. What does that even mean? And, who caress? I'm not trying to impress anyone with my laptop's "shine". It's not going to fall apart. I've never had a Mac or Windows machine fail due to "build quality".
I run ancient machines for Plex servers, etc. and none of them are failing whether they are Wintel or Mac. Well, except some older Macbook Pros where I had to hack them to kill graphics cards that failed. The ones Apple was sued for and finally recalled after tremendous pressure. But, I digress...
Speakers? Why would I use speakers on a laptop for music? I use quality headphones w/noise cancellation or actual, real speakers with a subwoofer if I want to share music.
Modern Apple Silicon Macbook Pros are great for these things - Amazing battery life. Arguably better Operating System depending upon what your needs are (and how you use it). Typically thinner and lighter. One of the best trackpads.
I do expect to pay a premium for those advantages, but getting destroyed in price/performance to THIS degree is revolting and has me looking towards hackintoshes.

temps are much better on the binned version. I avg'd 80 degrees CPU (max was 81 I think). I got 831 points
What about batteri life?
I know the price is different, but the 16” MBP would have been a better comparison

Why no mention of performance plugged and unplugged? After all these are portables not desktop machines.
The Lenovo will perform differently if the charger is plugged in.
