Unsurprisingly, and much like Snit and every other Mac zealot, you 
refuse to let things go even after a person provides you with an answer.

I looked it up online since, like I said repeatedly, I don't use the 
features myself having browsed a certain way since 1994 and being 
unwilling to change my habits. Nevertheless, Co-Pilot provides page 
summarization, text rewriting and voice navigation according to a quick 
search. With voice navigation, you can have Co-Pilot search for content 
you might have lost in a barrage of tabs or even in your history. As far 
as I know, Safari does not have this functionality.

I imagine that you'll bring up Siri. I use Siri and it's fantastic for 
giving you directions to a location. However, my experience with a 
simple question this week like "Siri, where is Wembley Stadium located?" 
was laughable. In every attempt, it just bombed. As for Apple 
Intelligence, we already know that it is lagging significantly behind 
what Microsoft offers to a point that they had to sign a deal with 
OpenAI to try to bring it up to par.

No. You did NOT provide me with an answer.

You made specific claim and when asked to support it, you simply evaded.

I've just provided you with an answer yet again. You are free to ignore 
it, but I'm not going to continue playing this game with you.

Well, we bought a Mac Studio, which is a low-end UNIX(r) workstation,
not comparable to a Windows desktop.

However, for $4K more, I bought this Linux workstation from System76,
and it runs rings around the Mac for my workloads.

When it comes to computers, I like to buy one that will last for a while,
giving it some future-proofing.  For example, my Linux workstation has
two 10Gbase-T Ethernet ports, one of which I use to talk to my NAS
at 10Gbits/s.

Hugh posted a link that you should read about "boots theory":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boots_theory

Going back to the Mac, I think Thunderbolt supports 40Gbits/s connections.
(Someone please correct me if I'm wrong -- it may be faster now.)

I'm sorry.

Are you saying you spent $4K more than you spend on a Mac Studio...

...or that you spent $4K on another machine?

I think 40Gbits/s is correct.

Yes.

Serious workstations tend to cuddle up to, if not surpass, 5 figures.

Entry level will be about half that.

I was going to use the NPU features for AI, but the python library
didn't support it yet.  I need to investigate how that is going,
it's been a few months.

Mrs. Vallor uses the Mac when she isn't using her Linux workstation.  We're
about to move my scanner to the Mac for use with document management...we
have a ton of documents, and it's time to "go paperless".

I also ssh into it to check the portability of software I write -- which
isn't very often, but it's nice to have for that.

I accept that people are willing to pay Apple's prices because they like 
Apple's products, but it isn't even close comparing said prices to the 
competition.

Really?

Show me a Windows laptop with:

A 1TB SSD

16GB of RAM

A 2560x1664 display

And which gets Geekbench scores of 3,157 (single core) and 12,020 
(multi-core).

Oh, and will run literally all DAY on a single charge.

And show me what it costs.

My MacBook Air (M3) cost me $2,199 (plus tax of course)

See just how much you'd "save"...

Hmmm, let's see:

With a 1TB SSD

Admittedly 32GB of RAM

Slightly higher resolution display

Only gets two thirds my machine's single core score and is pretty much 
equal in multicore

Weighs more than my MacBook (30% more)

And...

...and this is the kicker...

...is just $250 less expensive.

Which is a little less than 12% cheaper.

Sorry, but your "isn't even close" claim doesn't hold up.

$250 over even a 2 year life is just an additional $10 a month.

According to Google's conversion of Canadian money to American, it's 
about $375 USD less, actually - and does have more RAM and a little more 
screen resolution, and isn't out of the ballpark CPU-wise.  Face it, 
your love for Apple is making you make excuses for their overpriced 
crapware.  They're lame as fuck.  You may like your laptop, that's fine, 
but it's overpriced, there's no denying it.

The price difference seems substantial to me, but admittedly, if you 
really want macOS, the price may not be the most important factor.

Is 13% more expensive really "not even close"?

It's over 23%, according to my math, based on ~$1590 USD equivalent for 
your price.  But again, you may be willing to pay it, and that's fine.

But by how much should the Dell get handicapped in this comparison 
attempt because it weighs  2.7lbs vs 3.9lbs = 44% more?

This isn't a desktop, so such mobility relevant metrics do matter.

Particularly since this was obvious because the baseline was the "Air" 
model, not the standard MBP (and at 3.4lbs, heavier) version.

So it seems to me that another Windows candidate needs to be identified 
in lieu of this particular Dell.  How about finding an example that's at 
least within 10-15% of the Air's weight bogey?  While (of course) still 
also meeting useful battery life & other mentioned hardware specs too.

I don't think you're likely to find a Windows laptop that can in every 
respect compare to the Air - they are exceptionally light, that being 
said though, the specs were not *that* impressive, I agree the Apple 
Silicon rocks, but that's only one aspect of the whole product.  I can 
understand one having a preference for macOS and Apple products, but 
price does matter at the end of the day, all Macs are pricey.

Except we're not asking for *every* respect; the list has been just 
those things which make it a practical workplace tool, with weight & 
battery life included since a laptop - especially the Air -- has a 
design intent for being a mobile device.  This leaves the price tag for 
achieving a comparable level of capability wide open.

Except we're not directly having a preference for MacOS for this is 
mostly a hardware comparison, and all you've offered so far is a Dell 
that's significantly heavier & slower at moderately lower price point.

If Windows vendors can't match these core hardware features at any 
price, then be honest enough to just say so.

A decent find, albeit with a 20% lower single core Geekbench score. 
There's also some potential 'compatibility' concerns with it being ARM 
based, as the MS-Windows ecosystem isn't all that keen there: might want 
to look into how much performance is effectively lost by which Windows 
Apps which have to run in an emulated Intel CPU mode or whatnot.
