The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is an upper midrange laptop with a higher price and a better display in terms of resolution and touchscreen capability, suited for intensive engineering tasks and general use with a premium business design. However, it's heavier and has a shorter battery life compared to the LG Ultra 13, which is a lower midrange, more affordable laptop with longer battery life and more portability. The LG Ultra 13 lacks a touchscreen and has lower display resolution but could be better for extended use away from power outlets. If budget is a concern and you don't need a high-resolution touchscreen, the LG Ultra 13 may be the preferable option, while if performance and a premium build are priorities, the ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is worthwhile despite its higher price and lower portability.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga has a better screen than the LG Ultra 13 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga and the LG Ultra 13 both offer high-resolution displays and brightness levels that make for crisp, clear visuals in everyday tasks, which is why they excel for general use.

The LG Ultra 13 and Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga are both good for general use.
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is favored for its premium 2-in-1 convertible functionality and high screen brightness, boasting a more adaptable form for various uses and great visibility even in bright environments; whereas the LG Ultra 13 stands out with a slightly longer battery life and lower weight, making it a better choice for those prioritizing extended use on-the-go.

The LG Ultra 13 and Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga and the LG Ultra 13 are both judged to be fair for gaming and 3D tasks because they offer integrated GPUs with modest capabilities and standard screen refresh rates. While both have high-quality screens and capable CPUs, their GPUs and 60Hz refresh rates may not deliver top-tier performance for gaming or 3D applications that typically benefit from more powerful dedicated graphics and higher refresh rates.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga and LG Ultra 13 are both only fair for engineering and design.
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is favored for engineering and design use due to its higher-quality screen and more capable Intel Iris Xe graphics, enhancing visual accuracy and computational power needed for demanding tasks. In contrast, the LG Ultra 13, while lighter and offering longer battery life, has a less crisp screen and less powerful AMD Vega 7 graphics, which may not perform as well under intense engineering software requirements.

"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."

Joshua Goldman | April 2017
"The 13.3-inch LG Gram is a fine fit if you need to travel as light as possible for as long as possible without spending a fortune to do it. It might not be particularly sturdy or have an eye-catching design and its webcam is less than ideal, but with its sharp touch display, comfortable backlit keyboard, responsive touchpad and a fingerprint reader for extra security, the Gram makes a respectible everyday laptop for business or school work."
