The Acer Aspire 5 15 is less expensive and offers a larger 15.6-inch screen, better for multitasking and viewing content, but is heavier, making it less portable. The Lenovo Yoga 6 is more expensive but highly portable with a 13.3-inch screen, and its 2-in-1 convertible design allows it to be used as a tablet, which is beneficial for presentations or creative uses. Both offer similar storage and memory, but the Yoga 6 comes with a newer Ryzen processor that could provide better battery life and performance in certain tasks. Consider how much you value portability, versatility, and performance versus screen size and cost. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Yoga 6 has a better screen than the Acer Aspire 5 15 for general use, engineering and design, and software development.
For general use, screen quality hinges on the clarity and comfort of viewing, which the Acer Aspire 5 provides adequately with its resolution and brightness, but the Lenovo Yoga 6 stands out with a slightly better balance, offering a touch-enabled display. When it comes to engineering and design, the Lenovo Yoga 6 has a leg up with richer color reproduction, accommodating a broader range of colors that professionals need, while the Acer Aspire 5 falls short. However, neither laptop is ideal for gaming or 3D work, since both have poor refresh rates that fail to deliver the smooth visuals required for such purposes, even though their resolutions and panel types are sufficient for less demanding tasks.

The Lenovo Yoga 6 and Acer Aspire 5 15 are both good for general use.
The Acer Aspire 5 15 with its 15.6-inch screen, a good balance of CPU and RAM, coupled with fair speaker quality and top-notch heat management, offers a solid experience for general use yet limits portability due to its size and weight. In contrast, the Lenovo Yoga 6 stands out with its portability and a higher quality convertible touchscreen that can double as a tablet, enhanced further by superior battery life and speaker quality, making it versatile for general use on the go.

The Lenovo Yoga 6 and Acer Aspire 5 15 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Acer Aspire 5 15 and Lenovo Yoga 6 are considered fair for gaming and 3D because they have integrated GPUs, which are less powerful than dedicated gaming GPUs, and both have standard 60Hz screen refresh rates, which are adequate but not ideal for fast-paced gaming that benefits from higher refresh rates. Furthermore, while they have competent CPUs and good screen quality, these features fall short compared to more specialized gaming laptops.

Sascha Mölck | November 2022
"The Acer Aspire 5 15 is a good value office laptop with reasonable battery life. The combination of slim exterior, relatively low weight (approx. 1.7 kg) and 8 hour real-life battery runtime makes the Acer Aspire a truly mobile laptop. The modest Tiger Lake processor supports this area and simultaneously ensures an affordable price point. The Aspire produces little noise and stays cool. The screen (FHD, IPS) might not win any prizes but is entirely appropriate for the price."

"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."
