I wanted to know if my typical video editing scenarios would benefit from the top spec 16 inch MacBook Pro M1 Max (64gb memory, 4tb ssd) vs the high end Asus Zephryus Duo SE (Rtx 3080, AMD Ryzen 8 core Cpu and 48GB ram). This is unscientific real world testing to how I use the machines.

I edit in Davinici Resolve and Premier Pro with C70 Cannon files and Black Magic raw and ProRes

Spoiler alert: it appears the MacBook is going to speed up my workflow and increase my portability by a decent margin

M1 Max export times:
Resolve (6m48s min wedding video,2k C70 footage, 4k ProRes and Braw): 1m50s
Premier Pro : (4k ProRes /4.6k Braw-5:55 min interview): 4m39s

Asus Windows Laptop Export times:
Resolve (6m48s wedding video,2k C70 footage, 4k ProRes and Braw): 3m
Premier Pro : (4k ProRes /4.6k Braw-5:55 min interview): 12m07s

All files were 2k, 4k or 6k resolution and 24 or 60fps. All files were also rendered in H.264 downscaled to 1080p with max render depth and quality checked. Both machines were plugged into power and the windows laptop was on the high performance mode.

Its entirely possible I did something wrong and the settings weren't exactly equal but my mind is blown!
