Space play/pause · J/L seek 10s · [ ] previous/next
Summary
After a month using the ROG Ally as his sole computer, he considers an M2 MacBook because its seven-inch screen strains his eyes. His cited benchmarks show Z1 Extreme ahead in most multi-core and graphics tests, while M2 leads in battery life and some single-core results. The larger screen and unified design appeal, but roughly £1,000 versus £600 and poor gaming compatibility make him keep the Ally.
Insight
Cost, gaming compatibility, and benchmarks outweigh his attraction to Apple’s sleeker productivity image.
