Well, the M4 Max 40C is about on par with a RTX4070 Mobile when the GPU can stretch its legs (when the game is GPU bottlenecked).

"M5 Max is also close to the mobile RTX 5080 in the ROG Zephyrus G14. In shorter benchmarks like Cinebench 2024 or Geekbench, the performance advantage over the M4 Max is even bigger" "During the stress test, the M5 Max SoC will draw up to 96 Watts in High Power mode, but very quickly drops to just

Because that's going to heavily factor your gpu renderings and/or task involving 3D-related shenanigans. Thi

If you have a gaming laptop or a mobile cpu that bottlenecks your GPU, TURN THIS SHIT ON. It's actually a game changer. and

Just download CachyOS ISO, burn it to a USB drive and try it out. I just installed it on my Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 and it ran great, even with its NVIDIA GPU. CachyOS itself is pretty optimized.

Io sto studiando ingengeria meccanica, quindi potremmo avere bisogni simili. Fino ad oggi ho sempre usato un MacBook Air con M2 e, per quanto riguarda la durata della batteria e compiti semplici, mi sono sempre trovato benissimo. Ultimamente però all'uni mi sono richiesti software specifici che non

I'll try my best to simplify this: There are multiple models/generation of whatever brand you're eyeing. Take the Asus TUF lineup, I can 50/50 agree because their older models used to have crappy build quality and heating problems back in the days. Another example is the Asus V16 models, Asus market
