In one test, we opened 70 Google Chrome tabs and a few YouTube videos and Twitch streams. The M1 MacBook Pro showed no signs of slowing down. On the Geekbench 5.4 overall performance test, it notched a score of 12,477. This wipes the floor with the premium laptop average of 4,906.
At 3.5 pounds and 12.3 x 8.7 x 0.6-inches, the M1 MacBook Pro is more portable than its industry rivals. It weighs less than the Dell XPS 15 (4.3 pounds, 13.6 x 9.1 x 0.7 inches), Microsoft Surface Studio (4 pounds, 12.7 x 9 x 0.8 inches) and Razer Blade 14 (3.9 pounds, 12.6 x 8.7 x 0.7 inches).
