MacBook Air M2 vs Surface Laptop 7 Snapdragon X Elite

Macbook Air M2, 8Gb vs Surface Laptop 7 Snapdragon X Elite and 16GB RAM

The Macbook puts in a very respectable performance against the Surface Laptop but in spite of running FL Studio natively is still using more of its processor than the Surface Laptop (which also has to run the App in its own x86 emulation layer)

All that aside, the biggest surprise for me was just how well the SQ3 ARM based Surface Pro 9 from last year performed in this same battle on this channel!

Note that the Windows 11 version used here was the initial release with all day one updates completed

Great video! I really want to switch to pc from Mac. Thanks for making this video so quickly! Hopefully companies will optimize their apps for windows on arm shortly!

👍🏽 great to see this new arm win laptop running FL studio non-native app so well. I'm tempted to replace my Intel laptop soon.

Nice
How Snapdragon X Elite handles latency?!
DPC latency monitor

For using as sound module(controler + vsti pianos)

[JamesButcher]

nice comparison - though will be interesting to see how it performs once ASIO drivers are available for Windows on ARM

[LiVeWiRez]

Would you mind doing a video decoding comparison with Youtube 4k60 and 8k60 videos ? Curious to see how many frames the Elite chip drops if any.

Your voice is so satisfying! It makes me calm

Hey have you been able to test any 3rd party vsts? Thanks for doing this!

[jeffrey]

Great video, happy to see snapdragon x elite can run fl studio.
Looking for arm pc can run blender/ photoshop/ davanci resolve/ fl studio with av1 encoder

[godboat.]

[rudrapuraan]

Just about to go pickup my SL7 at BestBuy, kind of thinking about the Samsung too for its OLED but not sure about that.

Need change how you're recording your voice almost not hear you, muffed to much.

[seachill]

does the ASIO driver work?
if not, what is the alternative?

[hollisterholliday]

This is good. What are those strings ? VST or a sample pack?

[sasmitha]

Hi i have a question. How well do the ASIO drivers run on Windows on ARM?

[nov.shubhs]

The touch screen impacts performance as well so it can never be 1:1 with Macbook. Perhaps you can disable that.
