The Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5i is typically less expensive and boasts better performance for 3D rendering, machine learning, and general engineering tasks due to its powerful processor and dedicated graphics card. Its larger screen with a higher refresh rate could be advantageous for gaming and intensive graphic work. However, it is heavier and has shorter battery life, making it less ideal for frequent travel. In contrast, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is more portable with longer battery life and a touchscreen display, making it better suited for on-the-go use and interactive tasks, although it's more expensive and its integrated graphics provide lower performance for demanding tasks.

"Lenovo’s IdeaPad Pro 5i represents an impressive opening salvo for Meteor Lake in the ultraportable space against familiar foes from AMD and Apple. Not only does the Core Ultra 5 125H processor provide good performance across the board, but battery life remains a strong point against the Acer Swift Edge 16 with its AMD Ryzen 7 7840U processor. It can’t quite match the endurance of the 15-inch MacBook Pro, but the gap is shrinking."

"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."
