Our Verdict
Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 (2024)
Apple MacBook Pro 16 (M4, 2024)
The Apple MacBook Pro 16 (M4, 2024) is better than the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 (2024) for most uses. The MacBook Pro has a haptic touchpad that makes it easier to use since you can click anywhere, Thunderbolt 5 support, and a significantly longer battery life. You can get much more CPU processing power on the MacBook Pro, and you can also get more RAM, up to 128GB, whereas the Yoga Pro 9i is only available with up to 64GB. On the other hand, the Yoga Pro 9i has user-upgradeable storage, and it's a more versatile device because you can get a much better gaming experience than on the MacBook Pro.
