If you prioritize portability and battery life for general use like business tasks, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is a more portable option with a longer battery life and a premium business appearance. However, for better general performance, and especially if you're engaging in tasks like gaming, 3D rendering, or machine learning, the MSI Stealth GS77 offers more power due to its advanced GPU and CPU, along with superior upgradability, though it comes with added weight and a shorter battery life. The MSI model is also better suited for engineering tasks and has a higher quality keyboard, though it costs more. Give Feedback

The MSI Stealth GS77 is very good for general use, while the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is good.
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga has good portability and battery life which makes it suitable for general use, but its screen and speakers are less impressive than the MSI Stealth GS77, which also offers a more powerful CPU and more RAM, enhancing performance for demanding tasks at the cost of heavier weight and larger size.

The MSI Stealth GS77 is good for gaming and AI, while the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is only fair.
The MSI Stealth GS77 offers superior gaming and 3D performance due to its high-end Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti graphics card and a high screen refresh rate of 240Hz, which are crucial for smooth, immersive experiences. In contrast, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, while versatile as a 2-in-1 device, is limited by its integrated Iris Xe graphics and a lower refresh rate of 60Hz, making it less ideal for demanding gaming and 3D tasks.

The MSI Stealth GS77 has a better screen than the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga offers a balance of resolution and brightness suitable for general tasks and is capable of displaying a wide range of colors, benefiting engineering and design work, but its lower refresh rate hampers gaming and 3D performance. Conversely, while the MSI Stealth GS77 also provides a high-resolution and bright display for everyday use and excellent color reproduction for creative professionals, it falls short for gaming and 3D applications due to a less optimal refresh rate despite its larger screen size. Both laptops, therefore, deliver strong visual experiences for typical and professional workloads but may disappoint avid gamers or those heavily involved in 3D rendering who prioritize fluid motion over screen resolution or color accuracy.

PCMag
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."

Allen Ngo | April 2022
"The MSI Stealth GS77 is better than the GS76... mostly. The GS77 is a few steps forward and a few steps back from the GS76. Improvements are numerous including the stronger and more rigid skeleton, higher resolution webcam, larger clickpad, easier serviceability, relatively similar battery runtimes, newer display options, and higher performance at about the same TDP and TGP levels as before. CPU performance is better than expected even when compared to other laptops with Core i7 or Core i9 processors. The newer model feels more substantial than the outgoing one for higher quality impressions as well."
