So two really crazy Mac laptops have come out in the past month: the MacBook Neo, which is one of the best deals in tech in a long time, 600 bucks, and

所以最近一個月有兩款超狂的 Mac 筆電推出：MacBook Neo，這絕對是近期科技界最划算的交易之一，只要 600 塊，而且

more efficient and more capable and better built than almost every other laptop in that price range, and

比同價位幾乎所有其他筆電都更有效率、更強大、結構更好，

the new MacBook Pros at the opposite end of the spectrum.

還有就是光譜另一端的全新 MacBook Pros。

I've been benchmarking a $6,000 16-inch M5 Max MacBook Pro, and the results are just getting ridiculous.

我測試了一臺 6,000 美元的 16 吋 M5 Max MacBook Pro，結果真的太誇張了。

It has multicore CPU performance at the top of the charts for every Mac ever,

它的多核心 CPU 效能是歷代 Mac 的頂尖水準，

and the GPU is now more powerful than the M2 Ultra in my $10, 000 Mac Pro,

而且 GPU 現在比我那臺 10,000 美元的 Mac Pro 裡的 M2 Ultra 還要強大，

and the new SSD's read-write speeds are upgraded, approaching 20, 000 megabytes per second.

新的 SSD 讀寫速度也升級了，接近每秒 20,000 megabytes per second。

這絕對是專業創作者的夢幻逸品。

Both of these computers are putting Windows laptops on notice, and

這兩臺電腦都讓 Windows 筆電皮皮挫，

by extension, Microsoft and Dell and HP and ASUS and Lenovo and Razer, etc., all on notice.

也讓 Microsoft、Dell、HP、ASUS、Lenovo、Razer 等品牌都皮皮挫。

There was a quote recently from an ASUS executive that described the new MacBook Neo as a shock to the industry,

最近有位 ASUS executive 說，新的 MacBook Neo 讓業界感到震驚，

and yes, but it also got me thinking, what is actually happening with the rest of the industry?

沒錯，但這也讓我想，其他業界到底發生了什麼事？

What is happening on the Windows side of the fence?

Windows 陣營那邊到底發生了什麼？

I started getting my hands on a bunch of these Windows laptops and researching and benchmarking,

我開始動手測試這些 Windows 筆電，做研究和跑效能測試，

and it's become pretty clear the more I think about it that Windows versus Mac laptops is basically the same as iPhone versus Android, because just like Android, the advantage of the Windows side is the variety and the choice,

我越想越清楚，Windows 和 Mac 筆電的對決，基本上就像 iPhone 和 Android 的對決，因為就像 Android 一樣，Windows 陣營的優勢在於多樣性和選擇，

but that's also now both an advantage and a disadvantage that's getting kind of scary now.

但這同時也是優勢和劣勢，現在有點讓人害怕。

I used to really like XPS computers back in the day, so my oldest computers were XPSs.

我以前很喜歡 XPS 電腦，我最早的電腦都是 XPS。

Then Dell did this thing where they killed off the XPS, the Latitude and the Inspiron names,

然後 Dell 做了這件事，他們取消了 XPS、Latitude 和 Inspiron 的名字，

and rebranded them into Dell, Dell Pro, and Dell Pro Max for some reason.

然後不知為何重新命名為 Dell、Dell Pro 和 Dell Pro Max。

Then they came back to their senses and brought back XPS, and I bought this one,

然後他們又回過神來，把 XPS 帶了回來，我就買了這臺，

and this thing is really nice: 14-inch 2.8K tandem OLED display, thin bezels all the way around with a webcam and no notch, 120 Hertz variable refresh rate,

這臺真的很棒：14 吋 2.8K tandem OLED 顯示器，四周超窄邊框，有網路攝影機沒有瀏海，120Hz 可變更新率，

and then it's this thin all-metal jacket with soft-touch finish around the palm rests, which hide a massive force-touch trackpad.

然後是這種薄的金屬外殼，置腕處有軟觸感塗層，裡面藏著一個超大的力度觸控板。

There's three Thunderbolt ports, there's a headphone jack,

有三個 Thunderbolt 連接埠，還有一個耳機孔，

and then inside is an Intel Panther Lake processor, this one a Core Ultra 300 series with their new integrated GPUs, plus 32 gigs of DDR5 RAM and a terabyte SSD.

裡面搭載 Intel Panther Lake 處理器，這款是 Core Ultra 300 系列，配備他們新的整合式 GPU，加上 32GB DDR5 RAM 和一個 TB 的 SSD。

I liked a lot of the previous XPSs, like I said,

就像我說的，我喜歡很多之前的 XPS，

but this one is in a lot of ways better than those,

但很多方面來說，這臺比之前的更好，

不過它也有一些小地方比較特別。

Like, the ports are all Thunderbolt 4 instead of Thunderbolt 5,

像是連接埠全部都是 Thunderbolt 4，而不是 Thunderbolt 5，

and there's no SD card slot or any other full-size ports, which on a premium laptop like this is a choice.

而且沒有 SD 卡槽或是其他全尺寸連接埠，對於這種高階筆電來說，這點有點讓人意外。

There's also no lip to open the lid for some reason, so it's always this little awkward pry to, like, get the laptop open every single time.

還有，不知道為什麼，它沒有可以掀開螢幕的邊緣，所以每次都要這樣有點費力地撬開，才能把筆電打開。

And then the keyboard is probably its weakest point.

然後鍵盤大概是它最弱的部分。

The layout is slightly wonky with these top menu buttons, which get slightly more misaligned the further from the outside you get.

佈局有點奇怪，頂端的選單按鈕，越往中間就越偏離對齊。

But otherwise, I mean, yeah, this is really nice.

不過除此之外，嗯，這臺真的很不錯。

So this is a $2, 200 laptop as specced, so obviously a pretty premium option,

這臺筆電的價格是 2,200 美元，所以很明顯是個相當高階的選擇，

but this is, you know, just one of many premium options you could pick.

但這只是眾多你可以選擇的頂級選項之一。

那為什麼我要提到這臺筆電呢？

Well, in Windows land, this laptop, being really good, actually

嗯，在 Windows 的世界裡，這臺筆電之所以這麼棒，

relies on a bunch of different companies all executing really well at the exact same time, right?

其實是仰賴很多不同的公司，同時都做得很好，對吧？

So it relies on Dell putting a lot of effort into actually bringing back the XPS line and not cheaping out and doing the metal build quality and the nice display and the whole premium design.

所以它仰賴 Dell 花了很多心思把 XPS 系列帶回來，而且沒有偷工減料，用了金屬機身、漂亮的螢幕和整個頂級的設計。

It also relies on Intel and this exact generation of Panther Lake chips being good and actually having good integrated graphics because they don't actually offer this laptop with a discrete GPU,

它也仰賴 Intel 和這一代的 Panther Lake 晶片表現出色，而且內顯夠好，因為這臺筆電沒有提供獨立 GPU，

and it relies on Microsoft to actually do a good job with Windows so that the software experience is worthy of a premium price tag and not riddled with ads or unnecessary AI features.

它也仰賴 Microsoft 把 Windows 做好，讓軟體體驗對得起高價位，而不是充斥著廣告或不必要的 AI 功能。

And if it all happens, then together this laptop feels like it's worth the premium price,

如果一切都做到了，那麼這臺筆電就會感覺物有所值，

but you can probably see where I'm going with this.

And lately, Windows has felt like a weak link,

而最近，Windows 感覺就像是個弱點，

and every single Windows laptop will have to suffer for it.

還有每一臺 Windows 筆電都得為此受苦。

Now, it's not that the whole OS is, like, fundamentally bad.

現在，並不是說整個作業系統，基本上是很爛。

它沒有超級多 bug 或什麼瘋狂的問題。

It's still functional, but it's just lacking the super premium feel that wins everybody over.

它還是能用，但就是少了那種能讓大家買單的超頂級質感。

Like, this XPS, the first time I booted this up to set it up, it took me, like, 45 minutes because of all the forced updates and then all these mandatory sign-ins,

像是這臺 XPS，我第一次開機設定它的時候，因為一堆強制更新，然後又是一堆必須登入的帳號，就花了大概 45 分鐘，

and then it's asking me to use Microsoft 365 and then OneDrive and then all these other services, etc., etc.

然後它就叫我用 Microsoft 365，接著 OneDrive，還有其他一堆服務，等等，等等。

然後就算我進去了，還是有廣告。

Like, I got a pop-up ad for McAfee Security on this $2, 000 brand new laptop, which, to be fair, is probably a Dell problem,

像是，我在這臺 2,000 美元的全新筆電上看到 McAfee Security 的彈出式廣告，說實話，這可能比較是 Dell 的問題，

but then that's not even mentioning all the other AI stuff that Microsoft is pushing, the Copilot stuff, the infamous recall feature that everyone hates.

但那還沒提到 Microsoft 正在推的各種 AI 功能，像是 Copilot，還有大家都很討厭的 Recall 功能。

There's generative AI in Microsoft Paint now, for crying out loud.

就連 Microsoft Paint 現在都有生成式 AI 了，真是夠了。

Microsoft actually requires a dedicated Copilot button on the keyboard of every new Windows 11 laptop now to be classified as an AI PC, whatever that means.

現在 Microsoft 要求每一臺新的 Windows 11 筆電都必須有專用的 Copilot 鍵，才能被歸類為 AI PC，這到底是什麼意思？

It's just not really feeling like a totally premium experience.

感覺起來就不是一個完全頂級的體驗。

And at that high end, when you're spending a lot, users will start to get deservedly really picky.

而且在高階市場，當你花很多錢的時候，使用者會開始變得非常挑剔，這是理所當然的。

And that's where Apple has pretty much exclusively been playing for, like, the last decade.

這也是 Apple 在過去十年來幾乎獨佔的市場。

The cheapest new MacBook was always $1,000, and then it went way up from there.

最便宜的新款 MacBook 一直都是 1,000 美元，然後就一路往上漲。

And they are so vertically integrated with their Apple Silicon,

而且他們跟 Apple Silicon 的垂直整合做得這麼好，

and so the hardware is designed for the software,

and the software is designed for the hardware, and it's always felt so efficient and clean and performant,

軟體是為硬體設計的，而且一直都感覺很有效率、很乾淨、效能很好，

and people just love their expensive MacBook Pros.

大家也很喜歡他們貴貴的 MacBook Pros。

Now, there's obviously still reasons why people buy high-end Windows laptops.

當然，人們購買高階 Windows 筆電還是有原因的。

It's still a lot of the choice and the variety,

and there are certain things you still can't get in Mac land.

而且在 Mac 的世界裡，有些東西還是買不到。

Like, if you want a high-end gaming laptop, you know, that's one of those common things.

像是，如果你想要一臺高階電競筆電，你知道的，這是很常見的一種。

You can go get a Razer Blade with a 5070 and a 240 Hertz display.

你可以去買一臺 Razer Blade，配備 5070 和 240Hz 的螢幕。

but every one of those relies on all of the parts from all those different companies, again, being good at the same time,

但是每一臺都還是得仰賴所有這些不同公司提供的零件，而且這些零件都要同時表現得很好。

所以現在我們來看看低階市場，

and this is where it gets really interesting because it turns out, as we're learning, a lot of these efficiencies that Apple's been using to dominate the high end are also very effective in the low end because, to be clear, people are absolutely willing to accept some more shortcomings in lower-priced laptops.

這就變得很有趣了，因為我們發現，蘋果在高階市場上取得優勢的許多效率，在低階市場也同樣非常有效，因為說清楚點，大家絕對願意接受價格較低的筆記型電腦有一些缺點。

You know, if you shop around, hey, maybe you'll be able to find a laptop with just the right set of trade-offs that you don't mind while still being decent at the stuff you care about.

你知道的，如果你多方比較，或許就能找到一臺取捨剛剛好，你覺得沒什麼大礙，同時又能做好你關心的事情的筆記型電腦。

Like, this is the Acer Aspire 16, super popular laptop in this segment.

像是，這臺是 Acer Aspire 16，這款在這個市場非常受歡迎的筆記型電腦。

It's actually discounted recently, so I got it for $550 from Amazon,

它最近有打折，所以我從 Amazon 用 550 美元買到，

and there's a few more stickers on it, yes,

and the keyboard deck flex is just a little bit lacking in build quality, yes,

而且鍵盤區域的彎曲度，在做工品質上就稍微差了一點，對，

and the Snapdragon chip that powers it, you know, it's not gonna have the highest-end performance,

還有它搭載的 Snapdragon 晶片，你知道的，它的效能不會是頂尖的，

but it's efficient, so it has good battery,

但它很省電，所以電池續航力很不錯，

and then there's a nice big 16-inch screen and a bunch of full-size ports here.

然後這裡還有一個很棒的 16 吋螢幕和一堆全尺寸的連接埠。

So if I'm just gonna be writing or web browsing or watching videos on this thing, it feels like a pretty good value.

所以如果我只是要用這臺寫東西、瀏覽網頁或看影片，感覺還蠻划算的。

So look, laptops like this have been just fine.

所以你看，像這樣的筆記型電腦一直以來都很不錯。

They've been thriving at these price points, but here's the problem.

它們在這個價位帶一直都賣得很好，但問題來了。

Here's the brand new Gatorade-colored MacBook Neo-shaped problem.

問題就出在這個全新的、像 Gatorade 顏色的 MacBook Neo。

The starting price for a MacBook has been $1,000 for a new machine for the past couple of years.

過去幾年來，MacBook 的起跳價一直是 1,000 美元。
