Had they decided to use the higher-spec Intel Core i7 version, it would’ve added RM 800 to the pricetag. The M1 machine that Pfeiffer tested costs RM 9,599 in Malaysia, while their Intel variant would cost RM 10,399.
That being said, the Intel MacBook Pros are certainly a lot costlier. Furthermore, while the M1 MacBook Pro maxes out at 16GB of RAM, you could still have more RAM on the Intel variant, for a total of 32GB. You can check out the table below for the specific numbers:Ĭuriously, Pfeiffer had opted not to use the higher-spec MacBook Pro 13 that has an Intel Core i7 in it. On average, the M1 laptops performed a massive 83% faster than the Intel-powered MacBook Pros. Even the lowest average M1 gain over Intel stood at 59%, in InDesign. That’s saying quite a lot, seeing as Lightroom Classic has been known to be one of Adobe’s slowest programs. The highest average improvement was seen in Lightroom Classic, with a whopping 116% improvement in performance. Screen Recording at 2.56.31 PM.“It seems clear that Photoshop strongly benefits from, among other aspects, the unified memory architecture of the M1 chip, as well as from the acceleration provided for Adobe Sensei-powered features by the Neural Engine of the Chip, as can also be seen in benchmarks of other Creative Cloud apps,” – Pfeiffer report.If I turn off the GPU it looks better when working statically but when scrolling it is even worse.
Everything looks okay on the laptop's built-in display but is distorted on the external.Īlso, when scrolling, the screen updates sporadically and usually does the Windows 95-looking stuck window effect.
There are graphic artifacts everywhere, especially near the margins/edge of boxes which makes it hard to know if anything is aligned properly. InDesign 17 on an M1 MacBook Air with Big Sur is barely usable with an external 4K monitor.
