The Lenovo Legion Slim 7, often less expensive, is a solid choice for gaming with its high refresh rate display and powerful graphics card. It also has good performance for engineering tasks but is less portable due to its larger size and weight. In contrast, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, more on the expensive side, offers a premium business experience with a higher-resolution, touchscreen display, and a lighter, thinner build, thus more portable. It's well-suited for general use and business applications but may not handle intensive gaming or engineering tasks as effectively as the Legion Slim 7. Both come with decent battery life, but the Legion has a slightly longer battery life compared to the ThinkPad. If portability and business use are priorities, the ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is more suitable, while the Legion Slim 7 is better suited for gaming and heavier workloads. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 15.6" and Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga are both good for general use, though the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 15.6" is somewhat better.
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 offers robust performance with its AMD Ryzen CPU and Nvidia RTX GPU, making it suitable for demanding applications, and its larger battery provides longer usage away from an outlet; however, it's heavier and bulkier compared to the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, which is lighter, offers greater portability with its slim design and convertible 2-in-1 feature, enhanced screen quality with higher resolution, but has an Intel i5 CPU and integrated Iris Xe graphics which may not be as powerful for intensive tasks.

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 15.6" is good for gaming and AI, while the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is only fair.
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 has a higher-end GPU (Nvidia RTX 3060) and a higher screen refresh rate (165Hz), which are key for smooth gameplay and 3D performance, while the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, with its integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics and standard refresh rate (60Hz), offers less graphical power and slower screen updates, making it less suited for demanding gaming and 3D tasks.

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 15.6" is good for engineering and design, while the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is only fair.
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 features a high-performing AMD Ryzen CPU and Nvidia RTX GPU, making it suitable for demanding engineering software and graphic design tasks, though it's heavier and thicker, which affects portability. In contrast, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, with its Intel CPU and integrated graphics, offers a balance of performance and superior portability with a lighter weight and 2-in-1 convertible design, alongside a higher resolution and touchscreen for detailed design work, but may not handle intensive tasks as smoothly as the Legion Slim 7.

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 has a better screen than the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga for gaming and AI, software development, and content creation.
If your priority is general computing tasks like browsing, watching videos, or office work, both laptops' high resolution and brightness provide a crisp and vibrant display that's easy to view. Engineering and design work require accurate color representation, and these laptops are well-suited with displays that cover a wide range of color spectrums. However, for gaming and 3D modeling, where motion clarity is crucial, the lower refresh rates of their screens may lead to less smooth visuals compared to laptops designed specifically for those purposes.

Benjamin Herzig | November 2022
"The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 is a slim Legion notebook that is just as excellent with Nvidia & Intel. However, the Legion Slim 7i slightly sullied by lacklustre battery life. You get a slim aluminium chassis, great input devices, decent port selection, fast high-quality WQXGA display and great performance. Supporting Thunderbolt 4 is one advantage of the Intel/Nvidia model tested in this review. Moreover, this variant has slightly higher CPU performance as well as better GPU performance in certain applications (e.g. CUDA-based apps). The Lenovo Legion S7i is thin, premium and performant – but less efficient than its AMD counterpart."

"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."
