Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Lenovo Yoga 6 to be good for engineering and design, while the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is only fair.
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, with its high-quality screen and powerful CPU and GPU, is well-suited for tasks requiring visual detail and processing power, important for engineering and design work, whereas the Lenovo Yoga 6 also offers strong CPU and GPU performance with ample screen quality, but with a slightly larger battery, it offers improved portability for those who need to work on the go. Both laptops have quality keyboards and manage operating noise well, but the Yoga 6's stronger battery life and lower weight may appeal to users frequently moving around, while the X1 Titanium offers a brighter and more color-accurate screen, which could be more important for precision in design tasks.

How the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga and the Lenovo Yoga 6 compare to other laptops
"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."
"The AMD R7-7730U in the Lenovo Yoga 6 13 provides a suitable answer to the limited cooling capabilities of a convertible - especially in tablet mode. It draws high computing power from a comparatively limited power supply so that less heat has to be dissipated at the same time."
