Compare MacBook Display
Compare the MacBook the bezels are thiner, its an OLED Display compared to an IPS display and obviously there’s no not which is good.
Photoshop & Display Quality
I am used photoshop on this laptop and it’s was pretty colour accurate. the thumbnail & photo came out really nice and also watched a lot of movies and shows on this laptop and Dolby vision screen looks absolutely brilliant.
The speaker also play along really well there two buttom firing Dolby Atmos support speakers. they fill the room so well but the base is missing, so for music it’s not that good for movie and shows is best.
Keyboard & Trackpad
The keyboard and trackpad it’s a 60% keyboard with back support so you can use it at night plus. it’s well spaced out there’s good amount of key travel but there’s not a lot of feed back.
Glass Track
The glass track pad is also fairly big plus it has all windows gesture supports, additional gestures like you can :

Play Games
I tried playing Apex Legends and Vaiorant but both the games could not be played on this laptop because anti software is still not supported on Arm based processor. Spiderman and CS2 were still playable at 35 to 40 FPS but it was only running at the lowest graphics.
