Question An affordable MacBook for editing & work ?

Of course an ARM processor will run worse, get an Intel or AMD CPU and it will run better than any ARM CPU.

You are aware that it runs better than most x86-64 processors too right? Especially if you limit it to just those in the same power bracket.

Yeah, you do know I wasn't talking about mobile chips, right?

You think power brackets don’t exist in desktop? The M4 Pro still beats new i7s that draw 5x the power

I’m still waiting on these inspirons that outperform an M4 pro btw

I literaly just played Half Life 2, Stray, Portal, Portal 2, House Flipper, and No Man's Sky all atleast 60 FPS medium settings on a Dell Optiplex from 2013 with no gpu.
Can an M4 do any of that? No, not without 3rd party software and a bunch of glitches.
