For a balance of performance and portability with a stunning OLED display, the ASUS Vivobook S 16 OLED is a strong contender, especially if you value a high refresh rate and color-accurate screen for creative work or entertainment. It's equipped with a more powerful processor and dedicated graphics, making it suitable for engineering tasks and some gaming. However, it's slightly heavier and thicker than the Lenovo, which could be a consideration if you're often on the move. On the other hand, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga offers excellent build quality and a premium business laptop experience with its 2-in-1 versatility, touchscreen, and robust security features like facial recognition. It's more compact and lightweight, ideal for frequent travelers who need a durable and flexible device. While it may not match the ASUS in gaming or intensive graphics tasks due to its integrated graphics, it still delivers solid performance for general use and business applications. The Lenovo also has a longer battery life, which is a significant advantage for all-day use away from an outlet. Ultimately, your choice should be guided by your priorities: if you need a powerful machine with a superior display for multimedia and light gaming, the ASUS is the way to go. But if portability, versatility, and long battery life top your list, and you're primarily using the laptop for business or general tasks, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is the better choice.

Tom Brant | April 2021
"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."
