  • What are you really looking for? You mention GeekBench, multi-core performance, battery life, speakers, memory, and screen size. But you mention Rust compilation. So I’m confused, do you want a powerful machine or one that has a long battery life or a machine that looks and sounds good?

    I see EUR and fr-fr, so you must not be in the US but in France or Belgium.

    Also your comparison is not really equal. You’re comparing a M5 Macbook Pro with an M5 Pro 18-core CPU, 20-core GPU with 24 GB system memory (3200€), and 1TB SSD to a HP Elite G1a with 64GB and 1TB SSD (4900€). If you give the macbook pro 64GB of memory, then you’re at 4300€. If you take the default M5 Max config (18 core CPU, 32 Core GPU) and the default 36GB RAM, you’re also at 4800€.

    What is your budget?

    Looking at nano review and sorting by multi-core performance, this is the list:

    CPU Multicore Cinebench
    Core Ultra 9 285HX 2240
    Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus 2195
    Ryzen 9 9955HX3D 2160
    Ryzen 9 9955HX 2091
    M5 Max (40-сore GPU) 2073
    M5 Max (32-сore GPU) 2066
    M4 Max (16-Core) 2044
    Core i9 13980HX 2014
    Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme (X2E-96-100) 1967
    M5 Pro (18-Core) 1949

    (why not geekbench for multi-core?).

    As you can see, AMD and Ryzen do well (and that snapdragon), all the way to Intel Core i9 13980HX.

    Here’s a Tuxedo laptop with a Ryzen 9 9955HX and 36GB RAM for ~2800€. Make it 64GB and you’re at ~3500€.

    Or here, a StarFighter Ultra with Intel Core Ultra 9 285H, 64GB RAM, 1TB storage.

    Otherwise there’s linux preloaded where you can find stores that sell laptops.
