Our Verdict

Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 7 (2024)

Apple MacBook Pro 16 (2024)

The Apple MacBook Pro 16 (2024) and Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 7 (2024) are excellent mobile workstations with wide configuration options. The Apple laptop takes the crown, offering better performance and a superior user experience. Its M4 Max SoC delivers superior CPU performance compared to the Lenovo's top-end Intel Core Ultra 9 185H, and the M4's GPU trades blows with the NVIDIA RTX 3000 Ada Generation Laptop GPU depending on the workload. As for user experience, the Apple laptop is better built and features a brighter display. The keyboard is better on the Lenovo, and while the Apple has the edge for the touchpad, the Lenovo's haptic touchpad is impressive in its own right.
