The Lenovo LOQ 16, with its powerful AMD Ryzen processor and Nvidia RTX graphics, is tailored more for gaming and engineering tasks that demand high graphical performance but costs less, yet it is heavier and has a shorter battery life compared to the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga. The ThinkPad X1, being more expensive, offers a higher-resolution touchscreen display, is remarkably lighter and thinner making it ultra portable with better battery life, and features premium business qualities, such as enhanced build quality and added security features like a fingerprint reader and facial recognition, suited for professional use.

Christian Hintze | September 2023
"Gaming laptops with an RTX 4060 are available starting from about 1,000 Euros (~$1,060), even in 16-inch format. For the supposedly affordable Lenovo LOQ 16 (1,500 Euros, ~$1,591), the manufacturer particularly saves in the equipment and materials compared to the more expensive Legion series. In addition, the LOQ is slightly heavier and more bulky. What remains is anything but a laptop full of difficult compromises. Instead, this is a more than solid gaming laptop that focusses on the 3D performance.Q is slightly heavier and more bulky."

"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."
