Pros and Cons

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.

Lenovo Yoga 7

Strengths

Super cool unibody stamping design that makes it look super sleek and durable
The D cover is made from 50% recycled aluminum, which is awesome for those who care about the environment
Innovative hinge design called drop down hinge 2.0 helps with cooling down the laptop efficiently
Increased display to 91% sRGB on the 14-inch model makes it easier to see more of your work
Astounding Pure Side display with up to a 2.8K OLED touchscreen, 100% DCi-P3, 90Hz refresh rate, and 400 nits brightness
Anti-fingerprint coating on the glass, making it water and oil repellent, low-friction, and super durable against scratches and bumps
2-megapixel full HD camera with smart noise cancellation technology for crisp and clear video calls
Dolby Atmos technology provides immersive and surround sounds, combined with Smart Amp technology for enhanced sound quality and loudness

Weaknesses

Not a gaming laptop (though the author mentions it's not suitable for gaming)
The power button used to be placed inside, which was inconvenient
No mention of weight or portability (though it's mentioned as Ultra-portable)
16-inch model has up to 2.5K LCD touchscreen, which is less advanced than the 14-inch OLED display
No mention of connectivity options other than USB ports and HDMI
Not clear if Intel processor is a better option compared to AMD
Smart battery management may discharge device's battery to extend lifespan (though not necessarily a con)
Lenovo recommends McAfee as essential protection, which might be seen as an upsell rather than standard security features
