    The Ryzen 9 270 is what’s currently in the G14 much like the M4 is last gen but it’s what’s currently in the Air.

    Apple compares the M4 to the M1 because the M1 is so good most M1 users don’t see a reason to upgrade yet unless they have the 8 GB model. I’m not even joking. People are still debating whether to upgrade from the M1 to the M5. Apple Silicon made their laptops so good there was no longer need to upgrade every 5 years like with Intel in the past.

    I think you just have a chip on your shoulder. If you’re looking for a work machine, why are we talking about the cheap base model CPU? You should be comparing to the M1 Pro. Not the Max, since that’s more expensive, but the Pro is an apt comparison.

      That’s for the cheaper GA403U models, the GA403W models have the 370.

      Apple compared the M4 with the M1 because the M3 beats the M4 in several scenarios, especially in comparable SKUs where the M4 downgrades memory bandwidth. Now, of course, I could be a fanboy and preach that it’s because the M1 is so good.

      I think you need this since you start resorting to ad hominem.

        So for comparing to Apple, I shouldn’t be using the model that’s only 1000 euros more expensive than Apple, but rather one that’s even more expensive than that?

        I think you can see where the comparison falls apart then.

            You can get an M1 Air for like 300 used. For 800 you should be able to get an M3 with warranty. Either one is a faster CPU than the 5900HS in single threaded perf and the M3 is faster in multi as well.

            I just don’t see the value proposition of the G14. But that’s because I have a desktop so the GPU on a laptop is useless for me. Like I said in a previous comment, economics change if you have use for a GPU.
