Our Verdict
Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 (2024)
HP ZBook Power G11 A (2024)
The Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 (2024) and the HP ZBook Power G11 A (2024) are both mobile workstations designed for professional workloads like CAD and simulations. They provide a relatively similar user experience overall; the Lenovo has sharper display options and a more comfortable keyboard, but the HP has a better webcam and a significantly longer battery life. The main difference is that the Lenovo is an Intel system, while the HP is an AMD system. You'll get more performance out of the Lenovo if you go with the higher-end configurations, especially when it comes to the GPU, as the Lenovo is available with faster NVIDIA RTX 4000 and 5000 Ada Generation Laptop GPUs. The Lenovo is also available with up to 128GB of ECC or non-ECC RAM (user-upgradeable to 192GB), making it better suited for memory-intensive tasks, whereas the HP is only available with up to 64GB.
