The HP Envy x360 15" offers a good balance between cost and functionality, making it an attractive option if you're budget-conscious. It's a 2-in-1 convertible which provides versatility for tablet and laptop modes, suitable for general use and some light engineering tasks. In contrast, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga commands a higher price, but for that, you get a premium, more portable device with a potentially longer battery life and enhanced features like a higher resolution screen and additional security options, which might appeal more to business professionals or those requiring advanced performance for tasks like engineering and intensive multitasking.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga has a better screen than the HP Envy x360 15" for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
For general use, the HP Envy x360 15" offers adequate resolution and brightness, but might not have the premium panel quality of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, which boasts sharper visuals and better brightness, enhancing everyday tasks. When it comes to engineering and design, the ThinkPad's superior color coverage, with wider DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB gamuts, makes it more suitable for professionals needing accurate color representation than the HP Envy. However, both laptops aren't ideal for gaming and 3D applications due to their lower refresh rates; you'd be better off with a machine specifically designed for those purposes, which would offer higher refresh rates critical for smooth visuals.

The HP Envy x360 15" and Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The HP Envy x360 15" and the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga are fair for gaming and 3D because they both have integrated graphics—AMD Ryzen 5 7530U Vega 7 and Intel i5-1130G7 Iris Xe respectively—which offer decent but not top-tier gaming performance; furthermore, both have a screen refresh rate of 60Hz, which is adequate for casual gaming but may not provide the smoothest experience for fast-paced games or intensive 3D tasks.

The HP Envy x360 15" has a capable CPU, sufficient RAM, and an average GPU, which makes it fair for engineering and design tasks, but its screen quality isn't as high as the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, which boasts a superior display alongside a more powerful CPU and GPU combination, providing better performance for such specialized use. Furthermore, while both laptops offer good portability and keyboards, the ThinkPad's higher-quality speakers and quieter operating noise enhance the overall user experience for professional design work.

How the HP Envy x360 15" and the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga compare to other laptops
"Despite its good looks, stellar webcam and comfortable keyboard, the Envy x360 15 is hard to recommend because of its dim, 16:9 display. If the display isn't an issue for you, just be sure to wait for a good sale price. Otherwise, a more modern two-in-one with a 16:10 display such as the Dell Inspiron 16 2-in-1 or Lenovo Yoga 7i 16 provides a larger workspace without adding much to the size and weight of the system."
"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."
