Sorry, but the new MacBook Air is not faster than 98% of PC laptops

If you read carefully, Apple&#x27;s claim is about the M1 chip, and the supporting &quot;tests&quot; were conducted using the Pro. Then, they separately state that the Air contains the same M1 chip, implying (but not stating) that the Air is faster than 98% of laptops sold.<p>As we know, the Pro should be faster because of the thermal management (fans) so Apple is using a little sleight of hand here. But, I&#x27;m surprised the PcWorld writer didn&#x27;t catch this.<p>Apple is also claiming the M1 is faster than the chip contained in 98% of PC&#x27;s sold. Not 98% of all PC <i>models</i> sold. But I agree with the author, it&#x27;s a strange claim because that number would certainly include low and mid end laptops like Chromebooks.<p>Note: I&#x27;m going off of the text shown, I&#x27;m not aware of what the video (as shown in the screenshot) is specifically claiming and whether that differs from the above.

I really wish the author had gone ahead and done some benchmarking of their own. As it stands, they are mad about Apple making claims about their laptop’s performance which are answered with (paraphrasing) “I bet a Ryzen could run Fortnite better than a MacBook Air.” No hard data anywhere to be seen.

Did this author really try to debunk the claim &quot;faster than 98% of laptops&quot; and then name three laptops as a counterexamples.<p>Yes of course this is entirely marketing fluff but I don&#x27;t necessarily doubt the numbers just because of the sheer volume of cheap low-end laptops. You could probably make the same claim talking about any high-end machine. It&#x27;s something that sounds fantastical but really isn&#x27;t -- perfect marketing material!

This article hasn&#x27;t aged well :)<p>All the machines he mentions have been outperformed in CPU benchmarks by these entry-level MacBooks.

Just compare the benchmarks. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;browser.geekbench.com&#x2F;v5&#x2F;cpu&#x2F;singlecore" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;browser.geekbench.com&#x2F;v5&#x2F;cpu&#x2F;singlecore</a><p>All the top laptops are AMD Ryzens, such as mine. The new M1 is not on the first page with 16xx but still pretty good. Esp. it&#x27;s battery life is impressive, and much better than mine.
