The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is only fair for engineering and design, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 14 may perform poorly for engineering and design tasks due to its less powerful Ryzen 3 CPU, basic Radeon 610M GPU, and lower amounts of RAM, making it less capable of handling computation and graphics-intensive applications compared to the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, which is equipped with a more robust Intel i5 CPU and Iris Xe GPU, double the RAM, and a higher-resolution screen, essential for detailed engineering and graphical work.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 14 and the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga both feature displays with resolutions and panel types that meet the needs for clarity and viewing angles required in general use and engineering work, but their limited color gamuts may not fully satisfy professionals who need precise color accuracy for specialized design tasks. However, for general use, both models offer sufficient brightness and resolution to provide a comfortable viewing experience for everyday tasks like browsing, document editing, and media consumption. When it comes to gaming and 3D work, their lower refresh rates and potentially inadequate resolution would result in less fluid motion and detail, making them less suitable for those seeking a premium gaming or intensive 3D design experience.

How the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 and the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga compare to other laptops
"The lack of a backlit keyboard in this price segment shouldn't sway the buyer the other way. However, it still comes down to user preference. The Vivobook Go 14 is a decent laptop in an extremely competitive price segment. A few omissions are a part of the balancing to reach the price segment. The Asus Vivobook Go 14 is a rare find when it comes to the price to performance ratio."
"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."
