They made a direct comparison to "the fastest laptop we could find". I think there was fine print that had the exact laptop they compared it to, but I noticed it too late to read. But presumably this means at least 3070 performance.

Wow, this is going to hopefully support VR experiences where you carry the laptop on your back or chest…

Yeah, but then you'd have to settle for a Quest.

Hardware-wise maybe, but it's still bogged down by Facebook. Supporting them by buying their products, when the window of opportunity for user-respecting alternatives is still wide open, is frankly unethical.

Yeah, but the things that aren't clear from the comparisons are how under-clocked those gpus may be, and at what power usage did apple set them to before they ran their tests.

In at least one of the charts they had the M1 using 100 W less power than the top spec laptop. So they must have had that thing clocked pretty high.
