The Lenovo IdeaPad 1 15" is often significantly less expensive and provides solid general use performance with a larger screen, making it suitable for everyday tasks and light gaming. Its keyboard includes a number pad and it has a decent battery life. On the other hand, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is often significantly more expensive, but offers a more premium build with a higher-quality display, better keyboard, and lighter weight, enhancing its portability. This makes the ThinkPad ideal for business professionals who desire portability along with a touchscreen and a 2-in-1 design for presentations and flexibility. However, its general use performance is slightly lower and its cost is higher, so consider if the extra features justify the price for your needs. Give Feedback

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga has a better screen than the Lenovo IdeaPad 1 15" for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
For general use, the Lenovo IdeaPad 1's screen provides adequate clarity and visibility with its resolution and brightness, whereas the ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga offers a noticeably sharper and brighter display, which enhances the overall viewing experience. In engineering and design tasks, the ThinkPad's display covers a wider range of colors, making it more suitable for professionals who need precise color accuracy for their projects. When it comes to gaming and 3D applications, both laptops fall short due to lower refresh rates, which can lead to less smooth visuals in fast-paced scenarios, although their resolutions and panel types may still deliver respectable image quality for less demanding games.

Alex Iliev | April 2023
"The Lenovo IdeaPad 1 15" is affordable and pretty efficient. At the end of the day, the Lenovo IdeaPad 1 (15″, 2023) is one of the better affordable laptops money can buy right now. It has a decent performance, albeit coming from a CPU that is based on old architecture. Playing low-intensity games is possible but at low to medium settings. We are really happy with the cooling setup, but the main event here is the battery life. We got 9 hours of either Web browsing or video playback, which is a great result. Especially if you compare this device with the ASUS E410."

"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."
