The ThinkBook 13x could also have a sturdier build and potentially better display quality, yet this comes with a higher price tag. Consider what you'll be using the laptop for, as the additional investment in the ThinkBook might be justified for more intensive tasks. Give Feedback

The Lenovo ThinkBook 13x and Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga are both only fair for gaming and AI, though the Lenovo ThinkBook 13x is somewhat better.
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga and Lenovo ThinkBook 13x, while sporting decent CPUs and good screen quality, don't have the high-end GPUs or fast screen refresh rates necessary for top-tier gaming and 3D rendering, resulting in fair performance in those areas. Given that both models typically prioritize efficiency and portability over gaming-grade specs, they can handle some gaming and 3D tasks but won't deliver the most fluid or visually intensive experience.

The Lenovo ThinkBook 13x is good for engineering and design, while the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is only fair.
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga offers a higher-end CPU, additional RAM, and superior GPU capabilities which are crucial for demanding engineering and design tasks, along with a high-quality screen to ensure precise visuals. Although the ThinkBook 13x is also suited for engineering and design due to its capable hardware, the X1 Titanium Yoga excels with a better keyboard for extended typing sessions and a more robust build, at the expense of being slightly less portable and potentially noisier under load.

The Lenovo ThinkBook 13x 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's display, while having sufficient resolution and brightness for everyday tasks, lacks in color gamut coverage making it less ideal for precision tasks in engineering and design, and its standard refresh rate is not suited for the smooth visuals required in gaming and 3D applications. The Lenovo ThinkBook 13x, with a similar high resolution and brightness, provides better color accuracy, making it a more suitable choice for professionals who need true-to-life colors for design work, yet it shares the limitation of a standard refresh rate, which doesn't cater to the high-frame-rate demands of gaming and 3D rendering. Neither of these laptops is optimized for gaming or 3D environments primarily due to the refresh rate, but they cater well to general use and professional design applications due to their screen quality and color fidelity.

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."
