Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 7 (2024) vs HP ZBook Power G11 A (2024)

The Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 7 (2024) is a more versatile Windows workstation laptop than the HP ZBook Power G11 A (2024) and is better for most uses. The Lenovo is more versatile, as it offers a wider range of hardware configurations, including both NVIDIA GeForce RTX and RTX Ada Generation discrete GPUs. Both laptops feature excellent build quality, though, and use premium materials. Another point goes to Lenovo for portability; though not small (it's a 16-inch laptop), it's significantly lighter than the HP. Finally, while the HP offers a wider range of display options, the Lenovo has both IPS and OLED options; with the OLED, you can perform color-critical work using the DCI P3 color space, something that isn't possible with the HP laptop. However, if you need the longest battery life possible, go with the HP. It lasts more than 16 hours for light use.
