“When Apple introduced the new iPad Pro, the company boasted that its slim slate is more powerful than 92 percent of PCs out there. Now that we’ve benchmarked the 12.9-inch iPad Pro for our review over at Laptop Mag, it looks like that claim could very well be legit.”

This is impressive for Apple but mostly a meaningless statement even from Tom’s List. 92% of PCs are outdated or discount PCs. An 8th generation Intel Core I5 laptop typically benchmarks in the 13,000 range using Geekbench 4. We bought two of them last year for $600 a piece from Costco with 17” touchscreens and discreet GPU’s.

It is an apples to oranges comparison.

Tom's Guide and Laptop magazine made it plain they were talking about Windows laptops CURRENTLY being offered on the market today, not outdated, discount models. They compared to current Microsoft and Dell models being sold NOW, not discounted closeout models. Nice try, Fireman15, but no banana.

I'll ask you the same thing. . . are they doing it with a machine that weighs 1.4 pounds, and has ZERO fans? The answer is NO, they are not.
