For a balance of performance and portability with a focus on gaming, engineering tasks, and general use, the Lenovo Legion 5 16 is a strong choice. It offers a high-performance Intel i9 processor and a dedicated Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU, ensuring smooth handling of demanding applications and games. The 16-inch screen with a 2560 x 1600 resolution and a 240Hz refresh rate is ideal for fast-paced motion and detailed visuals, though it's not a touchscreen. With 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, it's well-equipped for multitasking and data storage. However, it's heavier and less portable than the ThinkPad, with a bulkier design and shorter battery life. On the other hand, if you prioritize portability, battery life, and versatility for general use, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is the way to go. Its slim and lightweight design, combined with a 2-in-1 convertible feature, makes it exceptionally portable and flexible for different use scenarios. The integrated Intel i5-1130G7 Iris Xe graphics are suitable for light gaming and everyday tasks but fall short for intensive gaming or heavy engineering workloads. The 13.5-inch touchscreen with a 2256 x 1504 resolution is sharp and has a practical 3:2 aspect ratio, offering a comfortable viewing experience for productivity tasks. With Windows 11 Pro, it's also geared towards business users who need robust security and productivity features. Its longer battery life ensures you can work or browse the web for extended periods without needing to recharge. In summary, choose the Lenovo Legion 5 16 for its superior performance in gaming and engineering tasks, but be prepared for a larger, heavier device with less battery life. Opt for the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga for its exceptional portability, long battery life, and business-oriented features, keeping in mind its limitations in graphics-intensive tasks.

Tom Brant | April 2021
"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."
