ThinkPad P16s Gen 4

While not "bad", the base display on the P1 is adequate but otherwise nothing outstanding. The 4k IPS or tandem OLED (which has its own issues, but is overall nice) would bring some parity, but the MBP display is the better one as configured Yeah that's a $500 add on option! 😣 I don't mind the exist

Gotta love it, people using a shitty HP and comparing it to a Mac and then say how they could never go back. Maybe buy a decent Windows laptop in the first place, not one of those cheap ones with a 46 kWH battery, a shitty 300 nits 45% ntsc screen, etc. If you want a macbook pro, yoy can save tons b

Based on the pricing, I'm guessing you're in Canada?

To answer your larger question, no you don't need a P series to edit videos. If it's just 1080p then most modern machines will do it just fine. As long as you don't have the efficiency oriented chips (from either Intel or AMD), with modern iGPUs being powerful enough you don't even actually need a d

I would say yes, MacBook is the best atm, BUT only if you don't look at the prices. I have a Lenovo P16s gen 3 for 1300€(MacBook pro starts at 2000€, 16" MacBook even at 2400€).
