Shadowing-Übung: Mac vs Windows - It's not close in 2026! - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video
Lektion wird erstellt...
1
Apple's new 2026 MacBooks have completely divided the internet.
2
There's one army who's insistent that this is RIP for Windows laptops.
3
But then the other side arguing that actually Windows gets you a better display, more powerful chip, more RAM, more storage, basically more everything.
4
So let's settle this.
5
We've got the featherweights, the $600 MacBook Neo versus the best $600 Windows laptop from HP.
6
But then also the high-end heavyweights, the $4,500 new MacBook Pro versus the best $4,500 a Windows laptop.
7
We'll test them all across 12 categories to find out who reigns supreme in 2026, whatever budget you're willing to spend.
8
Starting with the unboxing, which frankly doesn't really make a big difference apart from one key detail.
9
So the Apple unboxings at both the basic end
10
and the extreme end make you feel about as fancy as they always have.
11
But the Windows ones are plainer.
12
These laptops come presented in what looks more like a box you might find pizza in, as opposed to a feat of modern engineering.
13
But the reason that I actually side with Windows in this category is because you get a charger included.
14
Both at the budget end, with this HP Omnibook 5.
15
at the high end with this Asus ProArt P16, whereas Mac in the EU and the UK does not provide it.
16
And that can actually be a pretty expensive thing to buy separately, with the MacBook Pro's charger alone costing basically $100.
17
So as far as what really matters with the unboxing, that's a unanimous win for Windows.
18
But it's a different story when you get the laptops in your hands,
19
because I was not expecting how much better the MacBook Neo's build quality is versus its HP Windows equivalent.
20
Like, look at the hinge.
21
Can you see how much give this HP has compared to the Mac, which pretty much only moves when you apply some proper force to it?
22
HP has some aluminium in the body, but the vast majority of the parts that you interact with are plastic, and that makes it feel a lot cheaper.
23
Like, you can push down on the body and actually see it bend, with a little bit creaking too if you lean too hard on it.
24
That is not the case with this MacBook Neo.
25
The entire body is machined out of one big block of aluminium and you can feel that sturdiness.
26
I can't get a squeak out of it.
27
But when you're willing to go high-end, I'd say that Windows reduces that gap.
28
This Asus is now definitely more rigid and apparently has military-grade protection with the ability to withstand extreme heat and extreme cold,
29
but it's still not as premium as the MacBook Pro it still feels plasticky in places, especially the underside.
30
And the hinge still has that little bit more wobble than the MacBook Pro's, which stays completely planted where you open it.
31
This is even sturdier than the MacBook Neo's hinge, making this round a pretty clear KO against Windows.
32
But the other side of the build quality coin is durability, which we will also test with an actual real drop test.
33
But we'll do that at the end so I can actually test everything else before I kill my darlings.
34
Like the elephant in the room, performance.
35
Because it is absolutely true what people are arguing, that if you go for a Mac, you get a lower spec for your money.
36
Like, this MacBook Neo has 8GB of RAM compared to 16GB on the HP.
37
And even at the top end, the MacBook Pro here has 48GB of RAM compared to 64GB on its equivalently priced Windows.
38
But how much does that actually matter when you're trying to get stuff done?
39
So round one is a test of how long does it take to get started.
40
I timed each laptop going from fully shut down to booted up, logged in and ready to type into a Word document.
41
And this shows a pretty clear advantage to the top-end MacBook Pro.
42
It won by a landslide.
43
Maybe this is just the insanely fast SSD speeds inside the thing.
44
Round two is multitasking.
45
So I opened up in the background 20 identical internet tabs on each and an active Zoom call.
46
And then the test was with all of that going, how long does it then take each laptop to open up an absolutely enormous spreadsheet on Excel?
47
The answer to
48
which is a very similar result to the boot test with
49
the MacBook Pro outperforming every other laptop by a mile and all the other three being clustered pretty close together.
50
But what it also shows is that for an average user who's not realistically going to be doing any more than that,
51
it doesn't look like the 8 gigabytes of RAM on the MacBook Neo is going to cause any issues.
52
It's not faster than the Windows at this stuff, but the important thing is it's not slower.
53
And finally, round three is the Geekbench 6 CPU test, which actually is designed to simulate real-world applications,
54
things like blurring your background in a video call and and organizing your photo library.
55
And the higher the score, the better.
56
And well, to put it simply, the MacBooks here eviscerate the Windows machines.
57
At the top end, the MacBook Pro is scoring about 53% higher in single core performance versus Windows.
58
At the entry level, the gap is even larger with a 70% higher score.
59
Now there is another side to performance, which we'll get to but it seems pretty clear that as far as the day-to-day experience goes MacBooks are on top.
60
But then I was curious if the MacBook's day-to-day performance is
61
so much higher do you see that come at the cost of battery?
62
And to answer that question I charged each one of these laptops to full
63
and just let them drain while doing a controlled combination of YouTube watching, light gaming, and video editing.
64
And this is just as much a test of chipset efficiency as it is a test of battery size.
65
Because here in the world of laptops, let me tell you, there are enormous differences in chip power consumption.
66
Something that becomes very apparent when looking at the high-end Windows laptop, which dies at just four hours 16,
67
likely thanks to its RTX 5090 graphics card guzzling power, even when it's not being pushed to its limit.
68
And even with this fairly poor battery life, this test also reinforces our performance test,
69
where you can see the MacBook Pro is rendering this video an order of magnitude faster than the Windows is able to.
70
And so it kind of makes sense then
71
that the MacBook Pro was the next one to clock out with a substantially longer runtime of five hours 20.
72
So when you're comparing flagship laptops, it's Apple's win pretty consistently because top-end Windows graphics cards are not power friendly.
73
But then what I found fascinating is what happened between our featherweights.
74
So the MacBook Neo gave us pretty much bang on the same runtime as the Pro, lasting only six minutes longer,
75
which is kind of surprising given it's absolutely miniature size and tiny battery, but it's also kind of not given
76
that the thing's powered by a chip that's very literally designed to run on a smartphone.
77
But it's the budget Windows laptop that absolutely wrecked everything else here, holding on for eight hours and eight minutes.
78
So this shows that if you can get a Windows with a decently large size battery like this one, combined with an ultra efficient new Snapdragon X chip,
79
which is based on mobile architecture, then Windows has absolutely caught up on the battery front.
80
And just like the RAM situation that we talked about earlier, you're also practically guaranteed to get more storage when you go Windows.
81
In both cases here, budget and Pro, our same price Windows machines have literally doubled the storage of their Mac counterparts.
82
So instead of the MacBook Neo's 256 gigs, this HP has 512.
83
And instead of the two terabytes that I managed to get on the MacBook Pro for my money, this Asus has four, which is just a massive and very clear win for Windows.
84
Storage is one of those areas where Apple makes its biggest margins.
85
So they will try to preserve that at all costs, as long as those costs fall to you.
86
Core quality is a pretty simple combination of how good does the webcam look and how good does the microphone sound.
87
Let me show you.
88
So this is a recording from the budget Windows laptop.
89
And first of all, the audio sounds absolutely terrible.
90
I'm getting extreme friendly fire from what's supposed to be the noise cancelling in the background, but also the image processing sucks.
91
I can see how much it's struggling with the exposure in this image, especially with this light that we've added to simulate a window.
92
That's a pretty normal thing for someone to have, right?
93
The MacBook Neo is a lot better on that front.
94
I mean, you can first of all tell how it's able to keep the image a lot more stable
95
and the brightness on my face is preserved no matter what's happening around me.
96
That's pretty useful for a video call.
97
And also just the fact that my voice sounds like a hundred times more natural.
98
And then the MacBook Pro is similar in video quality, potentially slightly clearer, but the key change is the audio with this supposed studio grade microphone setup.
99
It does add a lot of warmth to my voice.
100
It's good to see that the Asus 2 does sound fantastic.
101
Big fan of the microphone setup on this bad boy, but the image is bad.
102
Things got enough graphics performance to power a small village, but it still can't seem to get rid of basic video noise.
103
So as far as calling goes, it's a Mac dub across the board.
104
But what Windows loses in call quality, it makes up for in number of ports.
105
You can tell that Apple as a company is much more calculated.
106
They give you the bare minimum for each tier of laptop to make sure
107
that the more expensive MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro remain as tempting as possible.
108
Other companies don't really care.
109
So while the budget Windows gives you a headphone jack, a full-size USB-A port and two USB-Cs,
110
with every one of these ports fast enough to qualify for the USB 3.2 standard, the Mac is just headphone jack and two USB-Cs,
111
one of which is actually a slower USB 2 port.
112
So you'd only really want to use that for charging as opposed to hard drives or external displays.
113
But then when you humor Apple and you cough up for the most expensive MacBook Pro, then the situation is reversed.
114
You do actually get the best of the best.
115
Every USB-C port you get on this is a blazing fast Thunderbolt 5 port.
116
These are so rapid that just one of them can power two 8K displays at once, as well as uber-fast data transfer and charging.
117
The top-end Windows is also good, but it's kind of a cocktail of different ports of various speed standards,
118
and also most charging ports that you get on Windows laptops kind of suck compared to Apple's MagSafe.
119
MagSafe could very well be the difference between a working, pristine laptop and $4,500 worth of e-waste in a crumpled pile on the floor.
120
Not to mention that almost every single high power Windows laptop requires a blooming construction brick as part of your power supply,
121
which only adds to the risk of accidentally tugging your laptop off the table.
122
So while the port selection is extremely stingy on the most affordable Mac, at the top end I would much rather have the MacBook setup than the Windows one,
123
which means so far Windows is winning the battle at the bottom and Apple is winning at the top.
124
But while ports are something that will very clearly show up when you're flicking through a spec sheet,
125
something that won't but that is still absolutely critical for how your laptop feels to use is the input experience.
126
The keyboard, and the trackpad, because if they're bad, then that could be years of wrist strain and irritating accidental presses.
127
Now, as you've probably heard, the MacBook Neo is missing one critical feature in this regard.
128
Backlighting.
129
Every other Mac has it.
130
Basically, every other Windows has it.
131
But the keys on this machine do not light up, even in the dark.
132
And so if you are someone who hits peak productivity under moonlight, then this one omission alone might make the thing a write-off.
133
Here's the thing though, I would still personally rather have this than have this.
134
The Mac's keyboard just feels higher quality than the Windows, where each key has this mushy signature to it.
135
And the Mac's trackpad is a million miles better than the Windows one.
136
It's got a smoother texture and you really feel like you have more precise control over your cursor when you're using it.
137
Plus, even though it's now mechanical, so it's physically pressing down as opposed to the force touch
138
that you get on higher end laptops that kind of simulates it, It's still so satisfying to click.
139
And I love the fact that you can click down anywhere on it, as opposed to the windows where you have to click down at the bottom of the pad only.
140
So what I'm saying is, do I like the idea of backlighting?
141
Hell yeah.
142
But would I personally give up backlighting to have a better keyboard and trackpad?
143
Also yes.
144
And since the MacBook Pro fixes the missing backlighting of the Neo, I think it earns a win in the luxury category too.
145
Don't get me wrong, the Asus trackpad's actually pretty good.
146
It's massive.
147
It's even got this little subsection that's like its own quick dial for settings.
148
But genuinely, there isn't a better trackpad right now on the market than you get on the MacBook Pros.
149
Whether it's the responsiveness, the precision, the palm rejection, or the fact that you can click down anywhere on it, which even at this price tier, the Windows laptop still doesn't have.
150
How about a speaker test?
151
Starting with the budget MacBook.
152
We are about to build our dream high-tech garden.
153
We're going to add as much magic as we possibly can to turn it.
154
So there's two side-firing speakers here and they sound fine but not super direct.
155
It's kind of like whoever you're watching on screen is sitting really far away from you.
156
It's like a five out of ten.
157
Budget windows.
158
We are about to build our dream high-tech garden.
159
We're going to add as much magic as we possibly can to turn...
160
So this has two downward-firing speakers, so they shoot into the table and then bounce off into your ears.
161
But that extra layer seems to make it sound harsher and faker, like there's more processing in it.
162
It doesn't sound like how we recorded that.
163
Probably a four.
164
MacBook Pro.
165
We are about to build our dream high-tech garden.
166
We're going to add as much magic as we possibly can to...
167
Oh my God, so much better.
168
It's a very full sound, which kind of makes sense since there are six speakers in here compared to two.
169
So nine out of 10.
170
Pro Windows laptop.
171
We are about to build our dream high-tech garden.
172
We're going to add as much magic as we possibly can to...
173
This one is close.
174
It is every bit as full sounding as the Mac, but just not quite as crisp.
175
Probably an 8.
176
Meaning that at both price points, I would say the Mac is slightly ahead, but not significantly.
177
And this is a good point to talk displays, because the thing that I'm seeing getting thrown around a lot online is
178
that this HP has a better display than the MacBook Neo.
179
And you can see why people are saying that, because this is an OLED panel compared to the MacBook's LCD, so it's way punchier with colours.
180
But I would disagree with the sentiment because first of all, while not as vibrant, this is a shockingly color accurate display for a $599 laptop.
181
It may not pop as much, but looking at one of our videos on this screen, this is how I meant to look, not this.
182
The Mac is also higher resolution with literally 50% more pixels and its brightness is 500 nits compared to the HP's 300,
183
which, especially when you're talking these fairly low brightness numbers, is a crucial difference and you will struggle to see the HP outdoors.
184
But for our flagships, it's impossible to argue with the screen that you get on this Asus ProArt.
185
It is a 4K resolution screen, higher than the MacBook Pro, OLED, so it's really punchy, while also being bright and designed for accurate colour.
186
Oh yeah, and also, it's a touchscreen.
187
Incredible.
188
Videos on this thing are absolutely jaw-dropping.
189
And you can make them all look even better with the Opera Browser, our sponsor.
190
I love that I can sharpen everything up with one tap.
191
I love that you have all these dark themes that are really non-distracting.
192
And that any video will automatically pop out when I leave the tap, so I can multitask while doing something else.
193
And just the fact that whatever I'm doing on this, I've got Opera AI on the side, which understands what I'm looking at.
194
That's a game changer, because let's say I've got the product page open for this HP laptop, it never says the words USB 3.
195
So if you want to know how many USB 3 ports it has, you can't just Ctrl F to find it.
196
You'd have to read through the transfer speeds of each port and deduce it yourself.
197
But this lets me just ask, and it does the grunt work for me.
198
So link below to download the Opera browser for free.
199
And for our display category then, Apple wins at the budget end and Windows at the highest end.
200
So, so far then, the Macs have won more than they've lost, which just leaves the big one, the software experience itself.
201
And the drop test.
202
And the drop test, yes.
203
So there's obviously quite a lot within this software category, but I think we can break it down to a few key differences.
204
The first is gaming, because separate from day-to-day performance, Windows is a mile better of a platform to be gaming on.
205
Partially because of the sheer number of games optimized for Windows,
206
but also partly because the dedicated GPUs like the RTX 5090 in our high-end Windows laptops are made for this.
207
There's AI features, but I can't think of one thing
208
that I've ever asked Apple Intelligence to do on a Mac that has actually saved me time.
209
The same is true for Microsoft Copilot, but it's a little better, I guess.
210
It can do things like automatically summarising and recapping video calls once they're finished, and recall, which creates this searchable history of everything you've done,
211
just in case you forget something important.
212
And Windows also has wider compatibility, whether that's specialist software for professionals, or the ability to work with any peripheral,
213
or the ability to make your laptop completely your own with customisation.
214
It would be very hard to argue that Windows is not the more versatile tool.
215
But there's also a few things in Apple's court, because assuming that the Mac can do everything that you need from your computer,
216
then you will likely have a smoother experience doing so in Apple's closed ecosystem.
217
Like nothing to this day on Windows beats the ease of air dropping from an iPhone to a Mac
218
or just being able to hit copy on some text on your iPhone
219
and then without any kind of setup just paste it on your Mac.
220
And also if you're like me and you focus a lot on small imperfections, you're much more likely to prefer the way the Mac looks and feels.
221
I mean, just as an example, I can't find a single animation on this $600 MacBook Neo that isn't running at a smooth 60 frames per second.
222
Whereas on the $4,500 Windows, the thing will still just randomly feel laggy when doing simple things.
223
And all these trending news and games for you widgets on Windows are really cheap and annoying in my opinion.
224
Seriously, who is buying an RTX 5090 powered laptop but then playing Steel Brain Rot Online on it.
225
And I would also say that the Mac is less likely for most people to have issues.
226
While Windows 11 is an improvement, Windows machines still work in a messier, more complicated way.
227
Like you've got the software layer made by Microsoft, you've got the manufacturer, let's say Asus, and then you've got all these individual parts like the AMD processor
228
and the Nvidia graphics card that are present in different configurations in each different machine
229
and each need their own drivers to tell them how to speak to each other.
230
All of this creates a lot more room for error than MacBooks, where Apple just takes charge of the entire end-to-end experience.
231
I mean, literally, during the filming of this video, the Asus just conked out and stopped registering my left clicks.
232
And now, finally, it's time to find out which of these lovely laptops can survive a drop.
233
I feel like I should clarify that we don't get sent these laptops.
234
Every single penny I might be about to burn is my own.
235
I genuinely think this is the most expensive science experiment we have ever done.
236
Three, two, one.
237
Friggin' whacked my foot afterwards.
238
God.
239
Oh no. Three, two, one. That was much worse.
240
Dear God.
241
Magbook Pro.
242
Please subscribe so I can buy more.
243
Three, two, one.
244
It's so heavy, that noise.
245
Pro windows.
246
Let's see about this military durability.
247
Three, two, one.
248
Oh, kind of bounced a little bit.
249
Wait, give me more.
250
Yikes.
251
Let's see the damage.
252
Okay, so the MacBook Neo, you can see it's actually pushed the entire hinge, so it's actually off kilter.
253
So the lid doesn't completely cover the base.
254
And then inside...
255
Oh, no way.
256
Everything is completely intact.
257
It just looks like you had a slightly bad haircut on the right.
258
But apart from that, that's incredible.
259
Genuinely, scared to open the budget windows.
260
Oh, dear God.
261
I mean, that is a dead laptop.
262
There is no work being done on this anymore.
263
MacBook Pro isn't closing completely flat anymore.
264
And inside, oh, it's shattered.
265
I guess the insane weight of this thing all directed at one corner was too much for it.
266
Hearing a slight crunching sound coming from the inside of this.
267
Oh god, this one's done too.
268
No!
269
The glass is shattered, display's not turning on at all.
270
But the backlighting still works, which means the MacBook Neo is the only laptop getting a point in this category.
271
Leaving us with the final scores in the budget category of 10 to Mac and 7 to Windows.
272
and then in the pro category, 10 to Mac and six to Windows.
273
So for me, Mac is the winner, but every category is worth different amounts and especially different amounts to different people.
274
So go through the list, see what's important to you and make your decision according to that.
275
Catch you in the next one.

Was du in dieser Lektion übst
In dieser Lektion praktizierst du, Englisch zu verstehen und zu sprechen, das sich mit technischen Vergleichsgesprächen befasst – genauer gesagt mit einem Video, das 2026er Macs und Windows-Laptops vergleicht. Du lernst, wie man Unterschiede in Bauqualität, Leistung und Funktionen beschreibt, und übst, komplexe Informationen flüssig aufzunehmen. Perfekt für alle, die ihr Hörverstehen und ihre Aussprache in Alltagsgesprächen über Technik verbessern wollen!
Wichtige Vokabeln & Sätze
- Build quality – Bauqualität (z. B. "Die Build quality des MacBook Neo ist beeindruckend.")
- Multitasking – Multitasking (z. B. "Das Laptop ist gut für Multitasking geeignet.")
- RAM – Arbeitsspeicher (übersetzt, aber oft im Englischen verwendet: "Der Windows-Laptop hat 16GB RAM.")
- Boot up – hochfahren (z. B. "Wie lange dauert es, das Laptop zu boot up?")
- By a landslide – mit deutlichem Abstand (z. B. "Das MacBook gewann by a landslide.")
- Sturdiness – Stabilität (z. B. "Die Sturdiness des Aluminiumgehäuses ist hervorragend.")
Übungstipps für Shadowing
Das Video hat eine moderate bis schnelle Sprache, mit vielen technischen Begriffen. Hier sind Tipps, um es effektiv zu üben:
- Geschwindigkeit: Beginne mit 0,75x Geschwindigkeit, um die Vokabeln und Sätze zu verinnerlichen. Wenn du sicher bist, erhöhe auf Normalgeschwindigkeit. Achte besonders auf Phrasen wie "by a landslide" oder "multitasking", die oft in Vergleichsgesprächen vorkommen.
- Tonfall: Der Sprecher hat einen informativen, aber lockeren Ton. Versuche, seine Betonung bei Wörtern wie "sturdiness" oder "build quality" nachzuahmen – das macht deine Aussprache natürlicher.
- Wiederholung: Wiederhole Abschnitte, in denen der Sprecher über Leistung oder Bauqualität spricht (z. B. den Teil über das Hochfahren der Laptops). Shadowing hilft dir, die Rhythmusstruktur von technischen Erklärungen zu lernen.
- Englische Aussprache verbessern: Konzentriere dich auf Wörter mit schwierigen Lauten wie "aluminium" (Aussprache: /ˌæljʊˈmɪniəm/) oder "rigid" (/ˈrɪdʒɪd/). Übe sie einzeln, bevor du sie im Satz wiederholst.
Mit diesen Tipps wirst du nicht nur dein Hörverstehen verbessern, sondern auch lernen, komplexe technische Informationen auf Englisch klar und flüssig auszudrücken. Also mach's dir gemütlich, starte das Video und beginne mit dem Shadowing – du wirst sehen, wie schnell du Fortschritte machst!

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
