At this point it's also a question of operating system, because Asahi Linux is not ready for general usage, so to get a good experience on an Apple Silicon Macbook you need to be running MacOS still. The performance and battery life will blow the X1 Yoga out of the water I believe, and the Mac build quality is superb, but until Asahi gets better, you'll be a bit restricted.

Good news is, the drivers from Asahi are also slowly making their way upstream I believe, so in the future, other distros can be run on Mac hardware too.
