The new MacBook Air M1 is the first laptop to pack Apple’s M1 CPU. In our MacBook Air M1 review, the laptop performed more like a “Pro” machine than an entry-level Air. It scored 5,962 on the Geekbench 5.1 (Intel) multicore test, which was practically in a dead-heat with the 5,925 from the M1 MacBook Pro. The Air soundly beat the 5,084 from the ZenBook 13 and the 5,319 from the XPS 13 (both tested with the Intel Core i7-1165G7 CPU and 16GB of RAM), on the comparable Geekbench 5.2 test.
