The Acer Aspire 3 is a budget-friendly option with moderate performance suitable for general use, while the Lenovo Yoga 6, though pricier, offers better performance, especially for tasks like 3D rendering and machine learning. The Yoga 6 also has a touchscreen, longer battery life, and is slightly lighter, enhancing its portability. The improved screen resolution and aspect ratio on the Yoga 6 are better for editing work and multitasking. If cost is a concern and your tasks are not demanding, the Aspire 3 is adequate. However, for a balance of performance and features, the Yoga 6 is a stronger option, especially for engineering or content creation tasks. Give Feedback

Mario Petzold | March 2023
"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."
