If your main concerns are portability and long-lasting battery life, the LG Ultra 16 would be a better choice due to its larger battery and longer battery life. However, keep in mind it's heavier and has a larger screen. Alternatively, if you prefer a higher-quality build, a better keyboard, and a touch screen with a premium business design, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga would suit those needs, despite being more expensive and having shorter battery life. Both laptops have the same storage and memory but differ in processors; the Lenovo uses an Intel processor while the LG sports an AMD, which could influence performance depending on your specific applications.

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."

"Unlike the gram, the Ultra PC isn't designed to be as lightweight as possible. The 16-inch laptop is a whole 400 g (0.88 lb) heavier than its 16-inch gram counterpart partly because its chassis is not made of magnesium. Other than that, the Ultra PC seems like a copy of the gram – but with longer battery life, lower noise levels, and a clean, delicate look."
