Laptops are still one of the most relied on machines as it is able to offer productivity while being mobile at the same time. Both the Lenovo Thinkpad W530 and the MacBook Pro are two of the biggest name in this segment. Let’s see if we have a winner here.
In terms of screen size, the W530 is built with a 15.6” display. This is definitely bigger than the 15.6” display on the Apple MacBook Pro.
Under the hood, both the W530 and the Macbook Pro runs on the same Intel i7 processor. However, internal storage on the former is at 500GB, which is so much more than the 128GB on the latter. While the processor might be similar between the two, they are tuned to optimize the device in question.
For instance, the i7 processor on the W530 is clocked at a whopping 3.6GHz. This is more than the 2GHz i7 on the Macbook Pro. However, the latter has more platforms cache that amount to six MB. The MacBook Pro has an added advantage as it is built with an 8GB RAM which is twice more than that on the Thinkpad.
On papers, both devices are similar in many ways. They are equally powerful as well. However, we will have to name the W530 as the winner of this round thanks to its much cheaper price tag. If only the Macbook Pro is adequately price.
