Apple MacBook Pro (2021) vs Asus VivoBook 17 M712

Verdict

The Apple MacBook Pro 16 2021 M1 Pro is a powerful laptop with a full-fledged version of the M1 Pro chipset. It has a quiet cooling solution and fast charging capabilities. The battery life is not as good as the original M1, but it is still decent. The laptop is expensive, but it is worth the investment for those who need the power and flexibility it offers. It is a great choice for productivity tasks, and it can handle most design software natively. However, some users may experience slow setup times.

Verdict

The Asus VivoBook 17 M712 is a good laptop for its price, offering a 17 inch screen, light weight, thin design, and great tactile feel to the keyboard. It is fast and has strong wifi, with good sound and screen quality. However, the keyboard is not backlit and the letters are silver on silver, making it difficult to read in low light. Additionally, some users have reported blue screens and shutdowns, and the warranty only works in the USA.
