The Lenovo LOQ 15, with its dedicated Nvidia RTX 4050 graphics card, is better suited for gaming, 3D rendering, and machine learning tasks and offers a higher refresh rate display, which may appeal to those needing smooth visuals. Its larger screen and substantial processing power make it ideal for engineering tasks but it's heavier and has shorter battery life, making it less portable. Meanwhile, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, as a premium business laptop, boasts superior portability, longer battery life, and a higher resolution touchscreen, making it ideal for general use, productivity on the go, and business applications. Its build quality, fan noise, and overall general use performance are rated higher. However, it may not handle intensive gaming or engineering software as well due to its integrated graphics.

The Lenovo LOQ 15 is good for engineering and design, while the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is only fair.
The Lenovo LOQ 15 stands out for engineering and design with a stronger CPU and GPU combination, essential for demanding applications, but is heavier, making it less portable than the lightweight Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, which offers a higher resolution and brighter screen that's beneficial for design clarity and detail. While the ThinkPad X1 also has a 2-in-1 form factor and is overall quieter, the LOQ 15 has the edge in raw performance for intensive tasks due to its superior processing hardware.

The Lenovo LOQ 15 has a better screen than the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga for gaming and AI, software development, and content creation, while the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga has a better screen for general use, and engineering and design.
The Lenovo LOQ 15 and ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga both offer screens with resolutions and panel types that provide sharp, clear visuals and wide-viewing angles, appealing for everyday activities and professional engineering or design work where fine detail and color accuracy are critical. However, they may not cater well to gamers or 3D artists because they lack high refresh rates needed for smooth motion rendering. Their color gamut coverage is sufficient for vivid and true-to-life color representation in design tasks but does not compensate for the slower screen refresh rates that can hinder the gaming and 3D modeling experience.

"Even after a short time with the LOQ 15, you'll find it has a lot going for it, but ultimately it's just "good"—not quite a star. The performance is respectable for the hardware it’s running, but Lenovo had to make some design sacrifices to trim the price. One of the better aspects is the keyboard, making it one of the better low-cost gaming laptops to actually put your hands on."

"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."
