The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is an excellent choice if portability and versatility are your primary concerns, as it's lightweight, has a convertible design suitable for presentations or tablet use, and generally offers good battery life. In contrast, the Razer Blade 15 is tailored more for users needing high performance for tasks like gaming, 3D rendering, or machine learning, due to its powerful hardware, but this also makes it heavier and with a shorter battery life compared to more business-oriented laptops. Keep in mind the Razer's high performance capabilities come with a higher price, so it's best for users who need that level of computing power. Give Feedback

The Razer Blade 15 is very good for gaming and AI, while the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is only fair.
The Razer Blade 15 outshines the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga for gaming and 3D due to its superior Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti GPU and a high screen refresh rate of 240 compared to the Lenovo's integrated Intel Iris Xe GPU and 60 refresh rate. These factors contribute to significantly better graphics performance and smoother visuals, which are crucial for immersive gaming and handling 3D content effectively.

The Razer Blade 15 is very good for engineering and design, while the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is only fair.
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is suited for engineering and design thanks to its high-quality 3:2 screen ratio and ample RAM for multitasking, but its CPU and integrated graphics may limit performance with highly demanding tasks. The Razer Blade 15, on the other hand, excels in such tasks due to its more powerful CPU, dedicated high-end GPU, and double the storage, albeit with a traditional 16:9 screen ratio that might be less ideal for certain design applications.

The Razer Blade 15 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 boasts a high-resolution, bright display with robust color reproduction making it suitable for both general use and detailed engineering work, but its standard refresh rate hampers performance with fast-paced 3D visuals. Meanwhile, the Razer Blade 15's display offers similar benefits in terms of resolution and color accuracy making it excellent for meticulous design tasks and everyday activities, yet it too falls short for gaming or 3D applications due to a less than optimal refresh rate. For individuals focused on engineering and general productivity, both laptops deliver with outstanding screen clarity and color fidelity, but gamers and 3D designers should look elsewhere for displays that can keep up with rapid movement and require high refresh rates.

How the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga and the Razer Blade 15 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 2022 Blade 15 offers roughly 15 to 25 percent faster graphics performance and 20 percent faster CPU performance over last year's Core i7-11800H and RTX 3080 model. Thankfully, the system doesn't need to run noticeably louder or warmer to achieve faster results, but both power consumption and battery life take a hit. The higher consumption in particular appears to be a trend amongst many 12th gen Core laptops including the Schenker Uniwill Technology GM7AG8P or MSI Vector GP66 when compared to their previous generation counterparts. We're also glad to not see below-average CPU performance which was the case for the 10th gen Core i7-10875H model."
