The Lenovo Slim 7 16 has a larger screen, higher refresh rate, better GPU for gaming or 3D tasks, larger battery capacity, and is less expensive than the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga. However, the ThinkPad X1 is more portable due to its lighter weight and smaller size, and it offers features like facial recognition and a higher quality webcam, suitable for business use. If the budget allows and portability along with business features are a priority, the ThinkPad X1 could suit you best. If you favor performance for tasks like gaming or 3D rendering at a lower price, the Slim 7 is the better option. Give Feedback

"At $1,011, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 Pro is a real bargain among full-sized laptops, with a handsome 16-inch, 16:10 aspect ratio touch screen, a speedy CPU, a comfortable keyboard, ample memory, and a roomy solid-state drive. It's not a blazing gaming rig or mobile workstation, but it doesn't pretend to be. Its biggest negative is that it may be hard to find—during our review, it sold out and was marked "Temporarily Unavailable" on Lenovo's site."

"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."
