Game over! No Windows laptop can come close to what Apple has done to the 14-inch MacBook Pro — and I’m a hardcore Microsoft fan

A white apple laptop opened.

I started this article looking for Windows-based laptops that could compete with a fully-loaded 14-inch Apple MacBook Pro and I couldn’t find any. I won’t sugarcoat this: there’s no laptop, powered by Microsoft’s operating system, that combines a small 14-inch chassis, a processor that has 16 cores, a powerful GPU, 128GB RAM and an 8TB SSD. If anyone finds one, let me know. Yes, the latest Apple MacBook Pro is expensive at almost $7,000 but then, at least you can buy it if you want to. 

Should you look for a Windows 11 laptop, models like the Razer 14 (2023) will offer less CPU cores, laughable amounts of memory and comparatively much smaller SSD. The one advantage that these laptops used to have was a reasonably powerful GPU, in the case of the Razer 14 (2023), an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070.
