Pros and Cons

Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 3

Strengths

The ThinkPad P1 Gen 3 has a clean professional design that is minimal but perhaps a bit conservative.
It's super light, weighing only 3.75 pounds.
The keyboard is solid and most Thinkpad keyboards are, with the exception of the P1 Gen 2 which had the worst keyboard I've ever used on a laptop.
The 4k OLED touchscreen display is exceptional but it does add an extra $600 or so to the base model.
The price tag is refreshingly low, especially for professional mobile workstations, starting at around $1700.

Weaknesses

The trackpad could be a little bigger and better.
The GPU is a weird downgrade from the previous model, using the Quadro T2000 Max-Q design instead of the proper Quadro T2000.
Battery life is subpar, only lasting around 3 hours in typical workday usage.
The battery life is especially disappointing when compared to other mid-tier laptops like the Dell Precision 5550.
The lack of an Ultra Performance mode in the BIOS settings is also a drawback.

MSI Summit E13 AI Evo

Strengths

Sleek, lightweight, and premium build.
Intel Ultra 7 with AI powered performance.
Huge 2 terabyte SSD, rare in Ultrabooks.
Thunderbolt 4, fingerprint reader, Wi-Fi 6E

Solid all-day battery life thanks to Eva platform optimization and energy-efficient components.

Weaknesses

Not built for gaming or GPU heavy tasks.
