Rise of the Tomb Raider at Very High settings at x resolution ran at 29 fps on both M1 laptops. We've yet to test the new MacBook Pros, but they promise dramatically better performance. Battery life is the other place where Apple's move to its own M1 processors has delivered serious wins.
The M1 MacBook Air lasted for 14 hours and 41 minutes on our battery test web surfing at nits , while the M1 Pro lasted even longer. Both times leave the inch MacBook Pro in the dust.
