Choosing between the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga and the LG Gram 16 depends on your priorities. If you need a highly portable device with a touchscreen, the Lenovo's lighter weight and touch capabilities might appeal to you, although it comes at a higher cost. On the other hand, the LG Gram offers a larger screen and significantly longer battery life, which can be beneficial for productivity and multimedia use without worrying about frequent charging, at a lower price. Both have strong processors and sufficient RAM for general use, and neither is ideal for intensive gaming, but if performing engineering tasks and needing better battery life without high expenses is key, the LG Gram stands out.

The LG Gram 16 is good for engineering and design, while the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is only fair.
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, with its high screen brightness and contrast ratio, offers a sharp display for engineering tasks, and it's a premium business laptop with a backlit keyboard and touchscreen, enhancing design work. In contrast, the LG Gram 16 provides a much larger screen and a superior battery life, potentially making it more suitable for extended design sessions, although it doesn't match the Lenovo in terms of display brightness. Both have similar CPUs and GPUs suitable for such tasks, with the LG sporting a slightly more powerful processor. Portability and speaker quality are somewhat better for the LG, while the Lenovo may offer a quieter operation conducive to focused work environments.

The LG Gram 16 and Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga and the LG Gram 16 are fair for gaming and 3D due to their integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics, which are capable but not as powerful as dedicated gaming GPUs, and standard 60Hz screen refresh rates that don't match the higher rates preferred by gamers for smoother visuals. Additionally, while the CPUs are suitable for general use, the most demanding games and 3D applications may need more robust processors, and although both laptops have high-quality IPS screens, dedicated gaming laptops often offer better screen quality with higher refresh rates and faster response times.

Tom Brant | April 2021
"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 LG Gram 16 is a lightweight device with stability issues. The LG Gram 16Z90Q with a Core i7-1260P is made with portability in mind and places less of a focus on users with high demands on performance. The compact and light chassis is particularly practical when you are on the go. The device is not only comfortably small and lightweight, it also boasts a great battery life. When connected to mains, on the other hand, the 16-inch device is rather disappointing. The standard cooling mode causes extreme volatility in terms of CPU, SSD and iGPU performance. The meager stability of the chassis may also put off some potential buyers."
