Who has had/has a new Surface with ARM and a MacBook M1+ series

I’ve got a MacBook Pro m3 pro. Which is speedy and has great battery life.

I’m no big fan of macOS and prefer windows 11 for compatibility - and the fact so much of what I do is windows based.

Every other laptop I’ve tried has one of the following issues:

It gets red hot
Its noisy
The battery life is poor

Admittedly, I don’t have an exhaustive experience of the very latest major laptops, however surely there is something like the MacBook Pro on the windows side?

I’ve seen the new ARM based windows laptops and surface.

I wanted to know how they compared with the power and efficiency of Apple Silicon?

Ultimately, I’d prefer a windows laptop but don’t want the power or battery trade off.

Well, I thought they were already out and it's interesting to see that a few of us are having the same issues actually.

Love the Mac for power and battery life.

Not necessarily a lover of macOS.

I've started to get over not using Windows 11 atm but it is frustrating that I can't do a lot of the gaming I would like to on the Mac.

It could replace my windows pc for virtually everything... except most gaming I think. Most other software I have solutions for or a great alternative app.

Initia reports seem promising eh?

I'm seeing widely different reports with benchmarks and that may be because there are different chips.

And lets face it, its all down to your experience of it.

Some posts on X show people using certain x86 apps and getting wild crashes.

So its been a few days, how are you all getting on with you work flows?
