Pros and Cons

Lenovo ThinkBook 14s Yoga Gen 2

Strengths

The battery life is very good out of it.
It feels pretty well built as well so altogether a nice middle of the road kind of laptop.
The performance is consistent with other i7 processors from this generation, no surprises there.
The cooling system works efficiently and the fan isn't too loud.

Weaknesses

No specific cons listed for this device

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3

Strengths

The ThinkPad still has a better keyboard, no surprise.
It's extremely light and powerful, one of my favorite mobile workstations.
Battery life is decent, especially with the IPS Full HD options (5-6 hours).
Ventilation is good and speaker grills are present.

Weaknesses

The Core i7 v Pro configuration with OLED display might not have super duper battery life.
CPU core temperatures can go up into the 90s when pushing hard, making it toasty.
There's no surprise that ThinkPad has better keyboards, but XPS 15 is still a great option for those who want metal cladding and good aesthetics.
The bottom cover requires some effort to remove (Phillips head screws), which might be frustrating for some users.
