The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is a premium business laptop that's less expensive and highly portable, with a good balance for general use and a durable build. It's excellent for mobile professionals who need a lightweight device with long battery life and a touch screen. On the other hand, the Razer Blade 17 is a much more powerful machine with top-of-the-line graphics, better suited for intensive gaming, 3D rendering, and machine learning tasks. However, it's more expensive, heavier, and has a shorter battery life, making it less ideal for frequent travel. Choose the Lenovo if mobility and price are priorities, or the Razer if you need maximum performance and specialize in demanding applications. Give Feedback

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga has a display that offers high resolution and brightness, making it suitable for vibrant and clear viewing in various lighting conditions, but it lacks the high refresh rate that is crucial for the smooth visuals required in gaming and 3D 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."

"Our test configuration of the Blade 17 targets gamers and creative professionals. A Core i9-12900H processor, GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU (175 watts TGP after the BIOS update, 16 GB of VRAM), and 32 GB of working memory equip the laptop for video processing, rending, and 4k gaming at the highest level. In addition, a fast PCIe-4 SSD (1 TB) ensures short load and storage times. With the Blade 17 (Early 2022), Razer delivers a successful and powerful work device for creative professionals. But this also has its price."
