5 Laptops With Better Features Than A MacBook Pro

Apple's MacBook Pro, powered by the M5 series chips, is considered one of the most powerful laptops in the company's catalog. The MacBook Pro also excels in other areas like having a 120Hz Mini LED screen, speakers, and a trackpad. However, the MacBook Pro is not the best-in-class Mac, with a track pad that is best-classed. The Asus Zenbook Duo, powered with the Intel Core Ultra X9 388H processor, 32GB of RAM, and 2TB of fast SSD storage, offers a dual-screen design and a 3K OLED 144Hz display. The HP Omen Max 16 is considered a top gaming laptop, priced at $2,550 and capable of running games like "Cyberpunk 2077" or "Assassin's Creed: Shadows." However, Windows is the better platform for gaming, as many of these laptops come with discrete GPUs that can deliver significantly higher performance and better graphics than a Mac can. Lenovo Legion 9i, the most expensive gaming laptop with a 240-inch screen, had some of the highest internals and a liquid cooling system that kept temperatures in check.
