This is the eighth part of our Intel Evo vs Apple Silicon series, where we re taking a look at what each side can do better than the other. The MacBook Pro 13, Razer Book 13, Razer Core X, Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, Samsung T7 Touch SSD, and CalDigit Thunderbolt 3 dock were provided by Intel. All opinions expressed are a result of our own testing and experience.
It s been a long road, getting from there to here, but it s time to wrap it up. This has been one of the more fun reviews that I ve done in a while, just because it s been a journey. Eight articles is a lot, so let s take a look at where we landed on everything.

I ve been using Apple s new MacBook Pro for a while now, and I ve been writing about my findings as I go. There s a lot that s good about it, and there s a lot that s bad. One thing that I learned rather quickly was that Apple Silicon isn t the home run that the Cupertino firm would have you believe.
The new Razer Book is the company's first attempt at making a PC that's built for productivity, rather than gaming. It has a 16:10 display, 11th-generation processors, and is Intel Evo certified.

This is the fifth part of our Intel Evo vs Apple Silicon series, where we re taking a look at what each side can do better than the other.

When I started looking at software compatibility between the M1 MacBook Pro and Intel PCs like the Razer Book and the Spectre x360 14, I kind of expected to be writing something similar to what I wrote when I tested hardware compatibility. After all, there are plenty of peripherals that don t work with macOS, even more than don t work with M1 Macs, and they all work with Intel.
In the fourth part of this series, we're going to be looking at hardware compatibility, testing out peripherals such as an Xbox controller, an external GPU, multiple screens, and more.
