Fortunately, Lenovo has a response:the ThinkPad Z Series.
An all-new design, the Z Series represents the best of the PC laptop world.
It packs AMD Ryzen APUs with a big graphics upgrade, unique materials, OLED screens, and more.

MacBooks are packed with goodies from a haptic touchpad to a pixel-dense display.
Lenovo’s Z Series matches these features point-for-pointthen adds a few more, just to be sure.
Lenovo’s Z Series, set to release in May, will come in 13-inch and 16-inch flavors.

Both come standard with a 1440p IPS screen, withan optional OLED touchscreenavailable.
A 1080p webcam is standard.
Connectivity includes multiple USB-C 4 ports and, on the 16-inch model, an SDcard slot.
A fingerprint reader is baked into the keyboard for secure login powered by Microsoft’s Pluton security processor.
And the Z Series goes beyond what Apple offers.
OLED models have a higher pixel density (2.8K resolution for the 13-inch and 4K for the 16-inch).
The webcam supportsfacial recognition login, a feature Mac fans are longing for.
There’s better wireless connectivity, too, withWi-Fi 6Eand optional 4G LTE mobile data.
The Z Series prove more convenient if you rely on cloud storage while traveling.
Need even better performance?
The 16-inch Z Series offers optional AMD Radeon RX 6500M discrete graphics.
The Z Series' new AMD hardware will likely smoke the MacBook Pro in these situations.
The Mac will retain an advantage in video editing, however, especially when using Final Cut Pro.
Apple has relied on simple, all-metal design ever since the first MacBook Pro was introduced in 2006.
Lenovo’s ThinkPad Z Series offers a different take.
This premium novelty suits a premium laptop.
I understand this wouldn’t vibe with Apple’s elegant approach, but it’s the better solution.
It delivers a huge range of features and competitive performance alongside Windows' broad app ecosystem.
Pricing is reasonable, too, starting at $1,549 for the 13-inch and $2,099 for the 16-inch.
