Some of the same hardware, yes. But also - the CPU/GPU in the iPhones are insane. Compared against a bunch of laptops in the price class from dell, HP, etc and the single-core performance is like 50% higher on the iPhone CPU in the macbook neo. I can't wait for more ARM CPUs that hit these specs for a reasonable price.

ARM cpus are great for battery life and aren't saddled with decades of legacy support, what they are not is a physics bending device. It's not a geekbench benchmark that is going to change the reality of physics. Now, if one's use of a computing device is circumscribed to opening web pages, then the iPhone is the device for you. Also, don't forget to breathe in and breathe out.

Those single core performance numbers are entirely benchmaxxed and don't reflect real world performance or reality at all EDIT: downvoters in denial. They get better synthetic Geekbench numbers compared to some of the latest desktop x86 processors ("beats" 7950X and "meets" 9950X), but get absolutely smoked by those same processors in real use. Maybe your only use of a computer is running Geekbench idk.
