Intel Breaks Apple’s Spell One PC at a Time

The truth is that loyal Mac users may have unknowingly made trade-offs when it comes to their computers. Once we shed light on those trade-offs, that’s when the real magic happens, and the choice is clear.

PC vs. Mac

The bottom line is that a PC with Intel inside is built for the user, and a PC can give users choices a Mac simply doesn't offer.

  

One PC Does It All

At Intel, we believe you should never have to choose between your passions. A PC with the 11th Gen Intel® Core™ H-Series processor allows you to use creative applications like Maya and play thousands of games, including the latest AAA titles, on a single device. Unlike Mac, you can trust that many of your favorite and most important accessories will work.

  

A PC can have Intel® Killer™ Wi-Fi 6E, PCIe 4.0, Thunderbolt 4, and an ultra-high refresh rate display powered by the latest graphic card to elevate both gaming and creating.

Real Design Innovation

We believe you should have choices, and there is no comparison between Mac and an Intel Evo™ laptop when it comes to versatility. A PC can give you a full touch screen, switch into tent mode and be a tablet or laptop whenever you want. You won’t find these features on a Mac.

  

The Galaxy Book Pro 360 is nearly half a pound lighter than the MacBook Air (2.34 pounds versus 2.8 pounds)1.

  

Real Freedom to Customize

We believe you should always have the freedom to customize. A PC allows you to upgrade your device when you want with more RAM and more storage — or even expand your graphics performance with the addition of an external GPU so you can get the most value out of your system.

Stay on the cutting edge of gaming with the fastest graphic cards, more memory for multitasking, expandable storage to hold your valuable data, and more without having to entirely replace your system.

Real Optimization for Any Size Business

We believe you should have the best tools to do your best work. Laptops on Intel vPro® with Evo™ designs are validated for today’s top mobile professionals. To receive an Intel® Evo™ certification, each design is rigorously tested for category-leading performance, which makes for easy multitasking on demanding business workloads.

  

You can be more productive and efficient with laptops on Intel vPro and Windows 11, which have been optimized for performance and security so hybrid work is easily managed.
