While the processors look unevenly matched, the M1 Pro and Intel Core have the same number of threads since the M1 Pro is single-threaded (8 threads), and the 4-core Intel processor is multi-threaded (8 threads).

I also want to mention that gaming should be wrapped into the content creation category since, statistically, I believe most content creators are also gamers. This matchup will be in two parts, with the first part focusing on benchmarking and performance and the second part comparing each laptop’s creator-specific experience. Both laptops were released in 2021, and I have had a considerable amount of time with both of them. The Surface Laptop Studio is the Surface that is content creator specific with its pen, touch, and modular support. I chose the Surface Laptop Studio to go against the MacBook Pro because the Surface brand is most closely positioned to Apple with its premium-only line of devices for the Windows notebook ecosystem. It is a device made for content creators, artists, and casual gamers. The Surface Laptop Studio is a first-generation Surface device that mimics the positioning of the Surface Studio but in laptop form. This go around, I want to compare the MacBook Pro to Microsoft’s Surface Laptop Studio.
