The Lenovo Legion 5 Pro offers high performance suitable for gaming, 3D rendering, and demanding engineering tasks, with a stronger GPU and higher refresh rate screen; however, it's heavier and has lower battery life, making it less portable. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, on the other hand, is lighter with a longer battery life, a touchscreen, and a higher-resolution camera, making it ideal for general use and portability but with less power for intensive tasks like gaming or engineering software. Both are similarly priced, so prioritize performance and gaming or portability and general use when making your choice. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 and Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga are both good for general use, though the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 is somewhat better.
The Lenovo Legion 5 Pro caters to general use with a high-performing CPU, ample RAM, and quality IPS screen with high refresh rate, but is less portable and has shorter battery life; conversely, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga offers great portability, longer battery life, and excellent screen quality in a convertible form factor, but with a less powerful CPU which is sufficient for non-intensive tasks. While the Legion 5 Pro has a larger, higher quality screen for visual work, the ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga emphasizes mobility and versatility with its touchscreen and tablet mode.

The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 is very good for gaming and AI, while the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is only fair.
The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 excels in gaming and 3D because it is equipped with a powerful Nvidia RTX 4070 GPU and a high screen refresh rate of 165 Hz, which are essential for smooth, detailed visuals in graphically intensive tasks. In contrast, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, while decent for everyday tasks with its integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics, only offers a 60 Hz screen refresh rate, which does not support as fluid an experience in gaming and 3D applications.

The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 is very good for engineering and design, while the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is only fair.
The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 stands out for engineering and design use due to its powerful AMD Ryzen CPU and Nvidia RTX GPU combination, which excels in performance-intensive tasks, along with a sizeable high-resolution screen that offers good color accuracy and contrast, but it is less portable and has a shorter battery life.

The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 has a better screen than the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
When selecting a laptop for general use, the Lenovo Legion Pro 5's high resolution and brightness levels make it a superior choice for vivid and clear visuals. However, for engineering and design work, while the Legion Pro 5 displays a wider color gamut for accurate color reproduction, the ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga still offers good color precision, but not to the same extent. On the other hand, if gaming and 3D applications are a priority, neither laptop is ideal due to their lower refresh rates, although they could suffice for casual use, with the Legion Pro 5 being less suitable due to its poor screen quality in this context.

Mark Knapp | July 2023
"It doesn't quite match its Legion Pro 7i sibling as an Editors' Choice winner, but Lenovo's AMD-powered Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 is a stylish, well-built gaming laptop with solid performance at both 1080p and its sharper native resolution. It's cheaper than some comparably equipped machines and better than some similarly priced ones. That's a recipe for success, even without its frequent availability of discounts or sales. A brighter screen and longer battery life would be nice, but even as is the Legion Pro 5 earns a solid recommendation."

"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."
