The Lenovo SlimPro9i14 tries its hardest to keep up with the class-leading MacBookPro14. But poor battery life and an inconsistent display hold it back.
Several of Apple’s latest MacBooks are on our list of the best laptops around, and the MacBook Pro 14 is arguably the best 14-inch laptop you can buy today. Any new machine that wants to compete has to offer an incredibly compelling combination of features and value.
Interestingly, both laptops have a notch to accommodate high-resolution webcams, but the Slim Pro 9i 14’s is a reverse notch extending from the top of the display, while the MacBook’s is embedded in the display. Many people would prefer Lenovo’s approach. Performance The Slim Pro 9i 14 uses a 45-watt Intel 13th-gen CPU, the Core i7-13705H with 14 cores and 20 threads. It’s a fast performer in both productivity and creative tasks. The laptop is also equipped with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050, an entry-level GPU that can speed up many creative processes.
Display and audio Both laptops use Mini-LED displays, which promise incredible brightness and deep contrast, along with good color width and accuracy. The MacBook Pro 14’s implementation of the technology is much better than the Slim Pro 9i 14’s, but it’s not Lenovo’s fault. Every Mini-LED display we’ve tested on a Windows laptop has performed similarly.
