The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" is tailored more towards gaming and performance-intensive tasks given its powerful GPU and processor; however, it's less portable and has a shorter battery life. On the other hand, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, while being more portable and offering a longer battery life, comes with a less powerful processor and integrated graphics, making it less suitable for heavy 3D or engineering applications but great for general business use due to its premium features and lightweight design. Choose the Legion if gaming or performance is a priority, and the X1 Titanium Yoga for business travel and general use. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" is very good for general use, while the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is good.
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 boasts a more potent CPU and GPU, making it beneficial for tasks that need more processing power, while its high-quality screen is excellent for visual clarity; however, it is heavier and offers less portability compared to the ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, which shines with its lightweight and versatile 2-in-1 form factor, suitable for on-the-go use and touchscreen applications. The two laptops have similar RAM, but the Legion offers double the storage and a bit less battery life than the ThinkPad, which also has a slightly better portability, making it a more convenient choice for extended mobility.

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" is very good for gaming and AI, while the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is only fair.
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7, with its superior GPU and high screen refresh rate, is tailored for the smooth, graphic-intensive demands of gaming and 3D applications, ensuring excellent visual performance and responsiveness. Meanwhile, the ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, while having a decent CPU and screen quality, lacks the powerful GPU and lower screen refresh rate needed for optimal gaming and 3D experiences, making it a fair choice for such tasks but better suited for general use and productivity.

"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."
