The ASUS Vivobook Go 15 is a budget-friendly option with a larger screen, but limited performance due to an Intel Celeron processor and 4GB RAM, making multitasking and demanding applications a challenge. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is pricier but offers a powerful Intel i5 processor, 16GB RAM, and superior build and portability with a compact and lightweight design, better suited for demanding tasks and professional use. Both have reasonable battery life, but the ThinkPad's higher-quality display with touchscreen, superior keyboard, and robust build quality make it a better choice for intensive use, provided the higher price is within your budget.

"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."
