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. There's also price with the X1 Carbon costing far less for the base 15-inch notebook (compared against 15-inch MacBook Pro).
While an optional upgrade, it's possible to have a 4G modem installed, allowing you to get online regardless of location. The X1 Carbon is designed for portability, which includes a party trick with LTE. The MacBook Pro isn't heavy but does weigh 1.83 kg. It's also significantly lighter, coming in at 1.13kg. The X1 Carbon hits back with the gorgeous display, matching what's available with the MacBook Pro.
The X1 Carbon does not come rocking a dedicated GPU, and you can't choose one when configuring a Carbon to order. Then there's the GPU, which can be configured to be a dedicated AMD Radeon 555X or AMD Radeon 560X (both with 4GB DDR5) on the MacBook Pro for a significant performance boost, especially in applications like video editing. There's also RAM, which can go up to just 16GB of DDR4 2133MHz while you can enjoy up to 32GB of 2400MHz with the MacBook. While you can throw in the latest 10th Gen Intel Core i7 processor inside the Carbon, it cannot match the MacBook Pro with the Intel Core i9 option. While the Lenovo X1 Carbon and MacBook Pro may seem similar on paper, Apple has the upper hand in the performance department. Still, it depends on what you need, and the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon offers better value. By the numbersĪpple touts the MacBook Pro as the go-to device for enthusiasts and professionals who need ultimate performance on the go, and looking at raw specs we'd have to agree. However, the decision will likely come down to whether you prefer Windows or macOS or Intel's Core i9.

Lenovo, too, has a premium portable notebook with the ThinkPad X1 Carbon, offering better value overall. Apple's newest MacBook Pro is quite the notebook, packing a serious punch with the latest from AMD and Intel.
