The Acer Aspire 1 is significantly less expensive and has a larger screen size that might be more suitable for watching videos or working with multiple windows, but it comes with lower storage capacity, less RAM, and a processor that's suitable for basic tasks. The battery life is rather short and the overall performance for general use is adequate but not powerful. The Lenovo Yoga 6, despite being more expensive, offers higher storage capacity, more RAM, a stronger processor for tasks including 3D rendering and engineering, and longer battery life. It's also very portable and has a touchscreen with a higher quality display. If budget is a constraint and your tasks are basic, consider the Acer, but for more demanding tasks and better portability, the Lenovo is the better choice. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Yoga 6 is good for general use, while the Acer Aspire 1 is poor.
The Acer Aspire 1 has a weaker CPU and less RAM, which may slow down multitasking and day-to-day tasks, while its TN screen offers poorer viewing angles compared to the Lenovo Yoga 6's IPS screen, which displays richer and more accurate colors. The Aspire 1's battery life is shorter, making it less ideal for on-the-go usage, and its overall build quality isn't as robust as the Yoga 6, which also boasts a higher portability score and a more versatile 2-in-1 design that adds to its usability.

The Lenovo Yoga 6 is only fair for gaming and AI, while the Acer Aspire 1 is poor.
The Acer Aspire 1 is considered poor for gaming and 3D because it uses a lower-end Intel Celeron GPU which is not as capable for such tasks, and it has a basic TN panel with standard refresh rates that do not cater to high-speed gaming visuals.

The Lenovo Yoga 6 is good for engineering and design, while the Acer Aspire 1 is poor.
The Acer Aspire 1, with its Intel Celeron processor, integrated graphics, and limited RAM, struggles with the demands of engineering and design software, while the Lenovo Yoga 6 offers a more robust AMD Ryzen processor, better integrated graphics, and substantially more RAM, enabling smoother performance for such tasks.

The Lenovo Yoga 6 has a better screen than the Acer Aspire 1 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The Acer Aspire 1 likely has a lower resolution and duller brightness, making it less attractive for any kind of usage, including general tasks where clarity and visibility are key. The Lenovo Yoga 6, with its fair screen quality for general use, likely has a better resolution and brightness, providing a clearer and more vibrant visual experience, and its good screen quality for engineering and design suggests a wider color gamut, essential for accurate color work. However, for gaming and 3D, since refresh rate is crucial and both laptops don't excel in this, neither would be ideal, with the Yoga 6 falling behind due to its otherwise fair display features not compensating for a potentially lower refresh rate.

"There are no surprises and nothing's extraordinary here but this laptop's price. For those in need of an inexpensive Windows laptop for undemanding tasks, though, the Acer Aspire 1 offers just enough to get the basics done and a larger screen to do them on."

"The AMD R7-7730U in the Lenovo Yoga 6 13 provides a suitable answer to the limited cooling capabilities of a convertible - especially in tablet mode. It draws high computing power from a comparatively limited power supply so that less heat has to be dissipated at the same time."
