The 14-inch laptop has seen something of a renaissance lately. It seems that users, or at least manufacturers, see a ton of value in a laptop that’s slightly larger than a 13-inch machine but considerably smaller than 15 inches. There’s a little more room for better thermals and a larger display without creating a humongous chassis.
The Apple MacBook Pro 14 offers the same 14.2-inch Liquid Retina display on all configurations, with a choice between various Apple M1 Pro and Max CPUs. The entry-level configuration with an eight-core CPU/14-core GPU M1 Pro, 16GB RAM, and a 512GB SSD is $1,999. At the high end, you can get a 10-core CPU/32-core GPU M1 Max CPU, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SS for $3,299.
The Slim 9i is also extremely solid with a CNC aluminum chassis. It’s equal to the MacBook in this regard. Lenovo covered the lid with glass, which adds an exciting element to both the look and the feel. Its chassis has incredibly comfortable rounded edges that make the Slim 9i more comfortable to hold. It’s a more extravagant aesthetic that’s also elegant.
In addition, both laptops have 1080p webcams that provide detailed images in various lighting conditions. They’re both excellent, but the Slim 9i benefits from a switch that electronically shutters the webcam for privacy. Lenovo uses a reverse physical notch to fit the webcam in while retaining relatively slim bezels, while Apple built a notch into the display that’s destructing to some.
These benchmarks don’t tell the whole story, though. The 10-core CPU/16-core GPU M1 Pro is about 25% faster across the board, and then there’s the option for the even faster M1 Max that would blow these results out of the water. And in the Pugetbench for Premiere Pro benchmark that runs in a live version of Adobe’s Premiere Pro, the faster M1 Pro scored 911.
Both displays are excellent for creators, with the Slim 9i having an advantage in wider and more accurate colors. Both are spectacular displays for everyone else, including productivity workers and media consumers . You can’t go wrong with either display.
