Not only can you take full advantage of what Windows 10 offers in terms of gaming, professional software, and incredible levels of third-party support, but you'd also struggle to do much better than the ThinkPad X1 Carbon at this price for portability.The Lenovo Legion 5i looks and feels a lot like the previous Lenovo Y series. At this point, you probably know where you stand. If you like Microsoft's OS, go with Windows. You'll be able to game on Windows 10, but macOS is considered more robust and secure. Where significant differences occur are in the UI, how software is installed/removed, as well as a host of other design choices. Adobe and Microsoft suites of software can be installed on either offering. Deciding on Windows or macOS should be made based primarily on the aspect you enjoy using more - once you pick one, you're stuck with it, though installing another OS on the X1 Carbon is easier than the MacBook.īoth operating systems can handle video editing and intensive productivity tasks while on the go.

Windows and macOS are similar in more ways than they are different (much like Linux), but recommending just one is almost impossible as it's mostly down to personal preference. If I had to choose based on the design, it would be the MacBook Pro, though you may prefer the ThinkPad. The MacBook Pro also comes in space gray or silver. Some don't enjoy aluminum design, and it's a difference that will lead you to prefer one or the other. You also get only one choice of color with the Carbon: black.Īpple's MacBook Pro looks stellar, thanks to the familiar aluminum construction, but even the main plate around the keyboard and touchpad is aluminum. This isn't a deal-breaker, but it is worth considering if you're all about looks. Still, it's not the best looking (or most unique) laptop available, which could be viewed as a negative in this comparison since Apple takes design seriously, especially with the MacBook line-up. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon is a solid-looking laptop. At just shy of double the price, Apple will kit your MacBook Pro out with an Intel Core i7-9750H processor, 16GB of RAM, Radeon Pro 555X GPU, and a 256GB PCie SSD. The base model of the X1 Carbon comes equipped with an Intel Core i5-8265U processor, 8GB of RAM, Full HD IPS display, and a 256GB M.2 PCIe SSD.
