Our Verdict

Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 4 (2021)

Apple MacBook Pro 16 (2019)

The Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 4 (2021) and the Apple MacBook Pro 16 (2019) are both 16 inch mobile workstations; however, the ThinkPad runs Windows, while the MacBook Pro 16 runs macOS. The MacBook Pro 16 has a sturdier build, a much better haptic touchpad, a significantly better webcam, and longer battery life. However, the ThinkPad has more ports, its keyboard feels more comfortable to type on for extended periods, and its memory and storage are user-upgradeable. The ThinkPad is also a newer model with more powerful CPU and GPU options providing better performance.
