The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is very good for general use, while the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is good.
The Lenovo Legion 7i Pro offers a more powerful CPU and GPU combo, ample RAM, and a high-quality large screen, making it ideal for demanding tasks, but its bulk and heavy weight affect portability and it has shorter battery life. In contrast, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga has a more modest CPU and integrated graphics, less RAM, and a smaller but still high-quality screen, which suffices for general use while offering better portability and longer battery life.

The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i 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.
The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i likely has a high-resolution display with excellent color accuracy covering a wide color gamut, making it ideal for engineering and design, but its lower refresh rate hampers the gaming experience. The ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga probably offers a balance with a quality display suitable for general use and professional tasks due to good resolution and accurate colors, but like the Legion, falls short for gaming due to a refresh rate not optimized for fast-paced visuals. Both laptops prioritize color precision and resolution over gaming-oriented features, meaning they are more suitable for productivity and creative work rather than high-end gaming.

"Passionate gamers who want to play demanding modern titles with maximum details and don't mind spending the moolah will find the Lenovo Legion 7 Pro to be the right choice. The bright, sharp, and color-accurate 16:10 QHD 240 Hz display makes for an immersive viewing experience. The hardware is housed in a stylish chassis that feels premium and scores well in terms of workmanship and stability. Other aspects such as sound quality, input devices, and connectivity also seem to be near-perfect."
"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."
