Hello,
I am looking at either a MacBook Air or a Windows Laptop.
The windows Laptop is a Dell with an i5 12600H.
I always hear how game changer the Apple Silicon is and how much ahead of everything else else is in performance.
So I am wondering how better or worse the 12600H is compared to either a M1 air or an M2 air.
The i5 is a 45W chip while the Apple Silicon is a 10W chip.
Can it really perform better?
Also, the Dell comes with 32Gb of DDR5 ram and the MacBooks only have 8Gb.
That is for the same price. The MacBooks can be upgraded to 16gb, but then they are way more expensive than the Dell.
So, in regard to performance, can the Apple Silicon MacBook Air really outperform a 45W 12th Gen i5?
Regards.
