I am sceptical of ASUS's current claims in high-end. They tend to come, and go from a niche.
I recently saw their two screened laptop, build quality was superb, as was the rest of hardware BOM, and original engineering.
For Lenovo, I see the same disease that claimed Dell before The "PRODUCT MANAGEMENT."
They had an excellent XPS line, and then they started to slice stuff off it every new model. Now it's very bog down commodity hardware underneath:
1. Low spec memory
2. Qcomm low-end WiFI/bt which bugs out even in Windows.
3. Low-end SSD
4. Batteries going down from 68Wh to 52Wh in the 13th
5. Panel went from top tier one, to noname low-end ISP with <300nits brightness. Only 4k panel now is above average for the class.
6. Testing, and engineering down the drain: mutual RF interference kills WiFi, BT, PCIe, TB, USB3.
For Lenovo, it's of course not the ThinkPads of old. For P15 line is experiencing the same "fade," like a decision to fit P15s with 3 cell battery.
