If you're a true apple lover, you certainly didn't miss this year's third at the beginning of the week Apple Keynote. At that we mainly saw the introduction of new MacBookPro, specifically the 14″ and 16″ models. Both of these models come completely redesigned, but also with new professional chips Apple Silicon M1 Pro and M1 MaxYou may have already noticed several different comparison articles in our magazine, in which we compared individual MacBookHowever, if you are deciding between a platform macOS a Windows, so you might be interested in how the basic 16″ is doing MacBook Pro with competing devices with Windows. For comparison, we selected the basic Razer Blade Advanced 15 and the basic MSI GE76 Raider. Just with these two laptops (most likely) Apple compared his 16″ during the presentation MacBook Pro, and that's why we included them in our comparison. In addition, they are of course in a similar price range

Price tag
As I mentioned in the paragraph above, all the laptops compared are in the same price range. Again, I would like to point out that we are comparing the basic models of all the mentioned devices. So, as for the basic 16″ MacBookfor the Pro, the price is set at 72 CZK. The second compared laptop, the Razer Blade Advanced 990, will cost you 15 CZK in principle, and the third compared laptop, the MSI GE69 Raider, will cost you 990 CZK in principle. Of course, all models are also available in other configurations, in which the price tag may increase by several (tens of) thousand CZK - but that's just for fun.
Introducing new ones MacBookFor
CPU and GPU
In the case of the processor, or rather the chip, the 16″ MacBookWith the Pro (2021) you can look forward to a brand new Apple M1 Pro, This chip offers a 10-core CPU and a 16-core GPU. Both the CPU and the GPU are directly part of the M1 Pro chip and the graphics accelerator is not dedicated, but integrated. The M1 Pro chip also has 8 performance cores and 2 efficiency cores in terms of CPU. In terms of clock frequency, we do not have any information available yet.mace. If we look at the Razer Blade Advanced 15, you basically get an Intel Core i7 10875H processor, i.e. the 10th generation with the Comet Lake designation. A total of 8 cores of this processor run at a base clock frequency of 2.4 GHz, but if overclocked, the frequency rises to a dizzying 5.1 GHz. The Razer Blade Advanced 15 then includes an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card, which has 8 GB of memory and a power consumption of 95 W. In contrast, the MSI GE76 Raider offers an Intel Core i9 11980HK processor, i.e. the 11th generation with the Tiger Lake designation. This processor has a total of 8 cores that run at a base clock frequency of 2.6 GHz, if overclocked, the frequency reaches 5.0 GHz. As for the GPU, this laptop has an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 graphics card with 8 GB of memory and aonem 140 W.
Razer Blade Advanced 15
Operation memory
For the basic 16″ MacBookThe Pro (2021) has 16 GB of unified memory, which is directly part of the M1 Pro chip, as well as the CPU and GPU cores. In the case of the Razer Blade Advanced 15, we can look forward to the same capacity of RAM, i.e. 16 GB. The third laptop, the MSI GE76 Raider, differs from the two mentioned in the field of RAM, as it is the only one that offers 32 GB of RAM. However, it is necessary to mention that the unified memory of the 16″ MacBookThe Pro with the M1 Pro chip works in a different and more efficient way. It is generally stated that if we want to compare the memories MacBooks with M1 chips with laptops that have classic processors with classic RAM, it is necessary to multiply the single memory by two - this is the resulting value that should be compared. This "calculation" cannot be applied in all cases, of course, but it is sufficient for a basic overview. In a way, it can be said that the basic 16" MacBook Pro The M1 Pro has 32 GB of RAM.
MSI GE76 Raider
Storage
Of course, storage is also very important when working, so you have somewhere to store all your data. In this case, 16″ MacBook Pro unfortunately, it lags a bit, as it only offers 512 GB of SSD storage in the base configuration. Both the Razer Blade Advanced 15 and the MSI GE76 Raider offer 1 TB of SSD storage, which is compared to the 16″ MacBooku For twice as much. However, for all these laptops you can choose a larger storage for an additional fee, which some potential consumers may take advantage of. After all, 512 GB is kind of borderline these days, and if you don't want to end up in a situation where you have to tidy up and look for old and unnecessary data to delete in the future, you should go for at least 1 TB. It is worth mentioning that the Razer Blade Advanced 15 and the MSI GE76 Raider have one more M.2 slot (two in total, one is occupied) for expanding the storage capacity. U MacBookYou would be looking for this option in vain, which is why it is very important to consider the storage capacity in the configurator, as you will not have room to change it later.

Here the comparison will be a little more difficult, both wintel notebooks will have an absolutely miserable display for working with graphics. They will also have poor battery life. If I wanted an XPS with a comparable display, it practically doesn't exist.
None of the competition Applu doesn't have a usable ARM laptop, no one (officially) can run it MacOS. These new Macbooky have brutal performance and ridiculously low consumption. But it cannot run x86 OS and x86 unix/linux/win with timpad appky, but can emulate x64 written for MacOS.
These worlds are quite far apart when it comes to working in applications for MacOS so there's no point in buying a stuffy Wintel laptop if I'm working with x86 outside MacOS So this laptop is useless to me and the M1 is enough for me Air on a regular basismacand content.
It's sad How much the laptop chip crisis has hit us For 70 it doesn't even have the most powerful dili 000 please? Where is the 3070 or 3090 and Intel is great today if you don't have heating and want to heat it! 😂
I don't know how, but the cheapest 3080 laptop can be bought for about 55-60 thousand, this is just a needlessly upgraded 3070, the processor is completely useless, you can buy such an ntb from Lenovo for about 40-45K.
