Lenovo IdeaPad 1i 15.6" Touch Laptop vs Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 6

The ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 6 is the better machine: a 14-inch 1920x1200 IPS touchscreen, 16GB of RAM, Thunderbolt 4, a garaged pen, a fingerprint reader and a 360-degree hinge in a 3.1 lb body. The IdeaPad 1i is the simpler pick: a 15.6-inch FHD touchscreen with a 512GB SSD and Wi-Fi 6, but 8GB of soldered RAM, a dim 220-nit TN panel and a plain clamshell. Buy the ThinkPad if you want a light convertible that lasts years; buy the IdeaPad if you want a big touchscreen for desk work and nothing more.

• Choose the IdeaPad 1i if you want a larger 15.6-inch touchscreen for browsing, documents and video, and you don't need a convertible hinge, a pen or upgradeable memory.
• Choose the ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 6 if you want a light 2-in-1 with a sharper IPS screen, 16GB of RAM, Thunderbolt 4 and a pen for notes, sketching and travel.
