If you're after a more premium device with a higher price and are willing to trade-off on gaming ability for more portability and a higher quality build, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is a good choice. It's lighter, thinner, and includes a touchscreen, ideal for business professionals or users who highly value portability and versatility. On the other hand, if gaming or performance in 3D tasks and machine learning is a priority, and you prefer a laptop often priced lower but less portable, the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 offers better suitability for intensive tasks while compromising on build quality and portability.

The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 has a better screen than the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
For general use, the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14's display stands out due to its higher resolution and brightness, providing crisp, vibrant visuals that make everyday tasks pleasant. In engineering and design, the Vivobook Pro's wider color gamuts ensure more accurate color representation, which is essential for professional work that demands color precision. However, for gaming and 3D applications, the ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga and the Vivobook Pro both fall short because their refresh rates are not high enough to deliver the smooth visuals that these tasks typically require.

How the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 and the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga compare to other laptops
"The Asus Vivobook Pro 14 OLED is a Pantone Validated laptop that packs a lot of processing power. The Asus VivoBook Pro 14 OLED's highlight is its outstanding display: Featuring a 3K resolution in the 16:10 format and nearly a 100% coverage of the Display P3 color space, the display hardly leaves anything to be desired. The Asus laptop also shows impeccable rates in terms of general system performance. Combined with long battery life, low noise emissions, and relatively good speakers, the laptop can be recommended to users who can accept compromises in terms of connectivity."
"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."
