How we tested
Before we started our hands-on evaluation, we set the Windows power mode on the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 6
to Best performance. We also set the 16-inch MacBook Pro (2023) to High-Power Mode. What we tested:
• Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 running Windows 11
Pro, powered by a 14-core 13th
generation Intel
Core i9-13900H processor (4.1 – 5.4 GHz), NVIDIA
GeForce RTX 5000 Ada-generation graphics, 96 GB
of DDR5 memory, and 2 TB of SSD storage. Cost on
July 12, 2023: $4,458.93.
• 16-inch Apple MacBook Pro running macOS
Ventura, powered by an M2 Max processor (3.68
GHz) with a 12-core CPU and a 38-core GPU, 96 GB
of unified memory, and 2 TB of SSD storage. Cost
on July 12, 2023: $4,699.00.
Even with the optional NVIDIA graphics card included, the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 cost $240.07 less than the
fastest 16-inch MacBook Pro (2023) available at the time of testing.
Gameplan: We ran a battery of processing- and graphics-intensive benchmarks to assess general digital content
creation capabilities and AI processing strength on the two systems:
• Blender is a content creation benchmark that
measures rendering performance and speed
by evaluating how many samples per minute
systems can handle.15
• Cinebench R23 is a content creation benchmark
that evaluates CPU and GPU capabilities using
Redshift, a Cinema 4D rendering engine, and
reports system performance under a heavy load.16
• CrossMark is a productivity benchmark that
evaluates how well devices handle diverse tasks
such as application and file launches; web browsing;
document, photo, and video editing; scientific
simulation forecast modeling within a spreadsheet
application; and multitasking.17
• HandBrake is a content creation benchmark that
measures the time it takes to encode a predefined
video and records the number of frames per second
(FPS) each system processes.18
• Maxon Redshift 3D Renderer is a content creation
benchmark that measures how long systems take to
load and render a 3D scene.19
• MLPerf™
ResNet-50 is a computer vision machine
learning model that measures how many samples
per second systems can process.20
• Procyon Office Productivity Benchmark is a
productivity benchmark that measures how well
devices handle real-world Microsoft 365 tasks.21
• PugetBench for Adobe Creative Cloud is a content
creation benchmark that measures how well devices
handle real-world Adobe Creative Cloud tasks.22
• Topaz Video AI is a content creation benchmark
that evaluates how well systems handle algorithm-
fueled video enhancement tasks.23
• WebXPRT 4 is a browser benchmark that runs a
series of tests that include HTML and JavaScript
handling as well as online homework, photo
manipulation, and face detection tasks.24
But that’s not all: We also hand-timed how long it took to complete common Microsoft 365 tasks. Then,
because remote collaboration is ubiquitous in today’s work-from-anywhere environments, we completed a
collaboration workflow using Zoom and compared CPU usage during Zoom meetings. We also conducted
custom speaker and microphone comparisons on both systems.
All of the results we report reflect the specific configurations we tested. Any difference in the configurations
you test, as well as browsers, screen brightness, network traffic, or software additions, can affect results. For
more information on these 16-inch systems as well as our testing parameters and procedures, see the science
behind the report.

We also hand-timed how long it took to complete a range of Microsoft
365 tasks many office workers regularly tackle. The Lenovo ThinkPad
P1 Gen 6 finished these common tasks in slightly less time than the
Apple MacBook Pro (2023). While waiting a beat may not register as an
annoyance, anyone switching between applications multiple times a day
recognizes that these micro-frustrations can pile up over the course of a
week or a month. The faster system has the potential to improve both
your mood and your productivity.

Solve the big problems with AI
To see how quickly each system could identify and classify objects and people, we ran the MLPerf ResNet-50
machine learning model in the offline scenario. This model “[a]ssigns a label from a fixed set of categories to an
input image, i.e., applies to computer vision problems.”27
The offline ResNet computer vision model measures
image and object classification performance with all samples on the system under test. Examples of ResNet
computer vision applications include robotic automation, facial recognition, medical anomaly detection, and self-
driving cars.28
A system that handles a higher number of samples per second has the potential to crunch through
larger datasets.
The samples per second delta between the Intel
Core i9-13900H processor- and NVIDIA GeForce RTX
5000 graphics-powered Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 6
compared to the M2 Max processor-powered Apple
MacBook Pro (2023) is enormous. For context: This
demonstrates how having powerful CPU and GPU
processors can boost a system’s AI-processing strength.

Security from supply chain
trust through end of life
According to Help Net Security, supply chain
attacks in 2022 caused more data compromises
than malware—and impacted more than
10 million people.29
Lenovo and Intel have
partnered to provide deeper and broader
protections from the point of manufacture
through transport and until the end user
has the device in their hands. The first step
in this secure supply chain is Intel Trusted
Device Setup and Intel Transparent Supply
Chain. These services fall under the Lenovo
ThinkShield umbrella, which, in addition to
the device protection services mentioned
above, provides end-to-end protection of
sensitive data with secure hardware, software,
and services. With Lenovo ThinkShield and
the Intel vPro®
platform, companies can fortify
their business and protect their assets from
manufacturing floor to final disposal.30

Facilitate work from anywhere
With many companies embracing remote and hybrid work models, the video-conferencing tools and audio
components we rely on to connect and engage widespread participants are more important than ever.
The new normal
Video meetings are crucial in remote and hybrid work environments—but can tax the CPU. When Zoom or
other video conferencing apps hog too much CPU, attendees might notice deteriorating video quality, out-
of-sync video playback, or screen-sharing not working. For this test, we configured Zoom to enter full-screen
automatically when starting or joining a meeting, chose the audio and video on options when joining a
meeting, and chose side-by-side mode when screen-sharing. This last adjustment was to ensure the cameras
were always on-screen with the screenshare. For repeatable audio evaluations, we played a YouTube video on
the host device.
For context: Lower Zoom CPU usage is important
because high-powered individuals and creatives
need their computers to multitask during meetings.
Multitasking examples include employing virtual
backgrounds and filters, delivering interactive
presentations that include polls and word clouds, and
running large events with multiple breakout rooms.

Meeting attendees often task-switch during remote
brainstorming sessions and team check-ins, which puts
added stress on the system’s CPU. So, we simulated a
collaboration workflow using Zoom. After launching a
new Zoom meeting, we 1) created and sent an Outlook
email with a video attachment; 2) started a PowerPoint
slideshow in presenter mode; 3) opened 10 browser
tabs on Google Chrome; and 4) inserted a 3D 100
percent stacked column into a 10K row macro Excel
file. Figure 17 shows how long it took each system to
complete this workflow.

Background noise reduction
A useful remote collaboration component is effective background noise reduction. We found that the Lenovo
ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 with dual noise-canceling microphones was better at reducing background noise than a 16-
inch MacBook Pro (2023) with its three-mic array with high signal-to-noise ratio and directional beamforming.31,32
For context: It’s easier for teammates and clients to hear you, focus on the subject at hand, and be part of the
conversation when there are fewer audio distractions.

Speaker volume output
Whether you need to step away from your system to
refill your water bottle or grab a snack during a long
video-conferencing session, the louder the volume
output, the further you can stray from your system. To
reach a 64dB target, the four harman/Kardon speakers
on the ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 used lower levels of
maximum speaker volume output than the six-speaker
sound system on the 16-inch MacBook Pro (2023). For
context: 60 dB Is the volume of normal conversation.33
To account for variances in speech patterns and voice
modulation, we set the target dB level to 64.

  • 4. How we tested Before we started our hands-on evaluation, we set the Windows power mode on the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 to Best performance. We also set the 16-inch MacBook Pro (2023) to High-Power Mode. What we tested: • Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 running Windows 11 Pro, powered by a 14-core 13th generation Intel Core i9-13900H processor (4.1 – 5.4 GHz), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5000 Ada-generation graphics, 96 GB of DDR5 memory, and 2 TB of SSD storage. Cost on July 12, 2023: $4,458.93. • 16-inch Apple MacBook Pro running macOS Ventura, powered by an M2 Max processor (3.68 GHz) with a 12-core CPU and a 38-core GPU, 96 GB of unified memory, and 2 TB of SSD storage. Cost on July 12, 2023: $4,699.00. Even with the optional NVIDIA graphics card included, the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 cost $240.07 less than the fastest 16-inch MacBook Pro (2023) available at the time of testing. Gameplan: We ran a battery of processing- and graphics-intensive benchmarks to assess general digital content creation capabilities and AI processing strength on the two systems: • Blender is a content creation benchmark that measures rendering performance and speed by evaluating how many samples per minute systems can handle.15 • Cinebench R23 is a content creation benchmark that evaluates CPU and GPU capabilities using Redshift, a Cinema 4D rendering engine, and reports system performance under a heavy load.16 • CrossMark is a productivity benchmark that evaluates how well devices handle diverse tasks such as application and file launches; web browsing; document, photo, and video editing; scientific simulation forecast modeling within a spreadsheet application; and multitasking.17 • HandBrake is a content creation benchmark that measures the time it takes to encode a predefined video and records the number of frames per second (FPS) each system processes.18 • Maxon Redshift 3D Renderer is a content creation benchmark that measures how long systems take to load and render a 3D scene.19 • MLPerf™ ResNet-50 is a computer vision machine learning model that measures how many samples per second systems can process.20 • Procyon Office Productivity Benchmark is a productivity benchmark that measures how well devices handle real-world Microsoft 365 tasks.21 • PugetBench for Adobe Creative Cloud is a content creation benchmark that measures how well devices handle real-world Adobe Creative Cloud tasks.22 • Topaz Video AI is a content creation benchmark that evaluates how well systems handle algorithm- fueled video enhancement tasks.23 • WebXPRT 4 is a browser benchmark that runs a series of tests that include HTML and JavaScript handling as well as online homework, photo manipulation, and face detection tasks.24 But that’s not all: We also hand-timed how long it took to complete common Microsoft 365 tasks. Then, because remote collaboration is ubiquitous in today’s work-from-anywhere environments, we completed a collaboration workflow using Zoom and compared CPU usage during Zoom meetings. We also conducted custom speaker and microphone comparisons on both systems. All of the results we report reflect the specific configurations we tested. Any difference in the configurations you test, as well as browsers, screen brightness, network traffic, or software additions, can affect results.

  • 10. Solve the big problems with AI To see how quickly each system could identify and classify objects and people, we ran the MLPerf ResNet-50 machine learning model in the offline scenario. This model “[a]ssigns a label from a fixed set of categories to an input image, i.e., applies to computer vision problems.”27 The offline ResNet computer vision model measures image and object classification performance with all samples on the system under test. Examples of ResNet computer vision applications include robotic automation, facial recognition, medical anomaly detection, and self- driving cars.28 A system that handles a higher number of samples per second has the potential to crunch through larger datasets. The samples per second delta between the Intel Core i9-13900H processor- and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5000 graphics-powered Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 compared to the M2 Max processor-powered Apple MacBook Pro (2023) is enormous. For context: This demonstrates how having powerful CPU and GPU processors can boost a system’s AI-processing strength.

Higher numbers of samples are better. Source: Principled Technologies. Security from supply chain trust through end of life According to Help Net Security, supply chain attacks in 2022 caused more data compromises than malware—and impacted more than 10 million people.29 Lenovo and Intel have partnered to provide deeper and broader protections from the point of manufacture through transport and until the end user has the device in their hands. The first step in this secure supply chain is Intel Trusted Device Setup and Intel Transparent Supply Chain. These services fall under the Lenovo ThinkShield umbrella, which, in addition to the device protection services mentioned above, provides end-to-end protection of sensitive data with secure hardware, software, and services. With Lenovo ThinkShield and the Intel vPro® platform, companies can fortify their business and protect their assets from manufacturing floor to final disposal.30 Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 mobile workstation: Get more bang for your buck December 2023 | 10
  • 11. Facilitate work from anywhere With many companies embracing remote and hybrid work models, the video-conferencing tools and audio components we rely on to connect and engage widespread participants are more important than ever. The new normal Video meetings are crucial in remote and hybrid work environments—but can tax the CPU. When Zoom or other video conferencing apps hog too much CPU, attendees might notice deteriorating video quality, out- of-sync video playback, or screen-sharing not working. For this test, we configured Zoom to enter full-screen automatically when starting or joining a meeting, chose the audio and video on options when joining a meeting, and chose side-by-side mode when screen-sharing. This last adjustment was to ensure the cameras were always on-screen with the screenshare. For repeatable audio evaluations, we played a YouTube video on the host device. For context: Lower Zoom CPU usage is important because high-powered individuals and creatives need their computers to multitask during meetings. Multitasking examples include employing virtual backgrounds and filters, delivering interactive presentations that include polls and word clouds, and running large events with multiple breakout rooms. System maximum CPU utilization while using Zoom Percent utilization | Lower is better Host, 1:1 meeting 17% 2% Guest, 1:1 meeting 10% 3% Host, 1:3 meeting 19% 2% Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 16-inch Apple MacBook Pro (2023, M2 Max CPU) 0% 100% 0% 100% 0% 100% Figure 16: Zoom CPU usage, as reported by Zoom. Lower usage is better. Source: Principled Technologies. Meeting attendees often task-switch during remote brainstorming sessions and team check-ins, which puts added stress on the system’s CPU. So, we simulated a collaboration workflow using Zoom. After launching a new Zoom meeting, we 1) created and sent an Outlook email with a video attachment; 2) started a PowerPoint slideshow in presenter mode; 3) opened 10 browser tabs on Google Chrome; and 4) inserted a 3D 100 percent stacked column into a 10K row macro Excel file. Figure 17 shows how long it took each system to complete this workflow.

Speaker volume output Whether you need to step away from your system to refill your water bottle or grab a snack during a long video-conferencing session, the louder the volume output, the further you can stray from your system. To reach a 64dB target, the four harman/Kardon speakers on the ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 used lower levels of maximum speaker volume output than the six-speaker sound system on the 16-inch MacBook Pro (2023). For context: 60 dB Is the volume of normal conversation.33 To account for variances in speech patterns and voice modulation, we set the target dB level to 64.

  • 13. Conclusion In a nutshell: The Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 mobile workstation delivered on price, processing power, and workload performance. When we ordered systems for this price and performance comparison, the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 with an Intel Core i9-13900H processor and (optional) NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5000 Ada-generation discrete graphics cost $240.07 less than a 16-inch Apple MacBook Pro (2023) with an M2 Max processor. Bonus content: In addition to receiving higher productivity, digital content creation, AI-based processing, and machine learning benchmark scores, the Intel Core i9-13900H processor- powered Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 also elevated remote collaboration experiences with lower CPU consumption, better background noise reduction, and greater speaker volume output during Zoom meetings than the M2 Max processor-powered Apple MacBook Pro (2023). 1.
