The Lenovo Legion 5i Pro offers robust performance for intensive tasks like gaming, 3D rendering, and machine learning, thanks to its high-end GPU and latest generation processor; it also has a higher refresh rate display which is great for fast-paced games but is heavier and has a shorter battery life, making it less portable. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, on the other hand, is much lighter and has longer battery life, making it highly portable, and with its touchscreen and 2-in-1 design, it's better suited for business use and general day-to-day activities, though its integrated graphics and processor are not designed for heavy graphical tasks.

"The midpriced Lenovo Legion Pro 5i Gen 8 follows some of our favorite gaming machines, including last year's model and the higher-end Legion Pro 7i Gen 8 tested earlier this year. But pedigree doesn't count for much in the computer world, and gaming laptops require a certain level of power and graphics performance to justify their prices. The Pro 5i Gen 8 just doesn't do that, offering middling CPU and GPU performance rather than the sort of muscle that would make it a great value."

"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."
