Unfortunately, if you thought the top-end model from Apple featuring the company’s most powerful chipset, the M1 Max, would blow away the competition, you are in for a serious surprise as it barely scrapes past the Surface Laptop Studio, which is Microsoft’s flagship notebook that touts disappointing specs for the price it is stamped with. > The 8K video rendering results were provided by XDA Developers’ managing editor, Rich Woods, stating that the 2021 MacBook Pro featuring the M1 Max finished exporting a 4-minute project on Adobe Premiere Pro in a time of 21 minutes and 11 seconds. By comparison, it barely managed to beat the Surface Laptop Studio, which armed with a lackluster quad-core Core i7-11370H and RTX 3050 Ti completed the same task in 22 minutes and 41 seconds.
