Are there any alternatives?

The HP Spectre x360 14 is the most logical alternative, and it’s faster, as well as slightly smaller while being thicker and heavier, and it offers a superior OLED display. The HP is also close to the same price as the ThinkPad, only with a Core i7-1185G7 and the OLED display, making it a far better value.

　　If you want a detachable tablet instead of a convertible 2-in-1, Lenovo’s own ThinkPad X12 Detachable is a good option. You’ll get slightly slower performance and less battery life, but the best detachable tablet available today. It’s also several hundred dollars cheaper.

　　Finally, if you don’t need the flexibility of a 2-in-1, then the excellent Dell XPS 13 is a great choice as usual. It remains the best laptop around overall and will provide better performance, a higher-resolution display option in the 16:10 aspect ratio, and a chassis that’s more robust and quite a bit smaller.

　　

How long will it last?

The ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is robust enough to last for several years of hard work, and it enjoys up-to-date components. You should get plenty of productive work out of it. You’ll also suffer the insufficient but industry-standard 1-year warranty.

　　

Should you buy it?

Yes. The ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is the best convertible 2-in-1 that can be used as a tablet and provides solid battery life to go with its attractive thin and light design.
