The Acer Swift X (2022) offers good performance for general use and intensive tasks like 3D and machine learning due to its dedicated Nvidia RTX 3050 graphics card, making it suitable for engineering and some gaming. However, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, being lighter with a slightly smaller screen, might be more portable and thus better for those who travel a lot or prefer a more compact device, while its Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics are more modest in comparison. Both have similar storage and RAM, so multitasking should be similar, but you'll find that the Acer may handle heavy graphics tasks better, whereas Lenovo's strengths lie in its portability and business-oriented features like a webcam and optional facial recognition.

The Acer Swift X (2022) and Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga are both good for general use, though the Acer Swift X (2022) is somewhat better.
The Acer Swift X (2022) excels in general use due to its high-quality CPU and RAM combined with a dedicated GPU for superior performance, a bright IPS screen, and reasonable portability; however, its battery life is modest and it's somewhat heavier than ultra-portable options. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, while also offering good CPU and RAM specifications for general use, stands out with its lighter weight, exceptional portability, brighter screen with tablet functionality, and longer battery life, but its integrated GPU is less powerful than the Acer's and its thinner design may impact heat management.

The Acer Swift X (2022) and Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga are both only fair for gaming and AI, though the Acer Swift X (2022) is somewhat better.
The Acer Swift X (2022) has a dedicated Nvidia RTX 3050 GPU which is better for gaming and 3D applications than the integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics in the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, but both laptops have the same screen refresh rate of 60Hz which is not the highest available for gaming that can benefit from faster rates. Additionally, the Acer's more powerful GPU may drain its battery faster and may produce more heat, while the Lenovo's integrated GPU is typically less powerful but more power-efficient, promoting longer battery life and cooler operation.

Sebastian Jentsch | March 2022
"The Swift X is an Acer for entry-level gaming. With the entry-level graphics chip, our Acer not only beats every single current AMD and Intel iGPU, but also Intel's dGPU Iris Xe Max. However, despite being a GDDR6 version, the GTX does not match the expectations set by its own counterparts from our database. This may be a result of the single fan, which only produces moderate noise levels under load. The performance level of the thin and light 1.4 kg (~3.09 lbs) 14-inch laptop is impressive nonetheless."

"The ThinkPad X1 Titanium is a showcase of what Lenovo thinks business computing will look like in the near future. People want thinner, lighter laptops with high-quality screens and enough computing power to get their work done. The X1 Titanium achieves these goals with some controversial but innovative design choices, including a redesigned keyboard and a pared-down port selection."
