For general use, the Lenovo Yoga 6 offers a more versatile 2-in-1 design with a touchscreen, better performance due to its superior processor and double the RAM, and a higher quality display with a taller aspect ratio, which is great for productivity. It also has a longer battery life and better build quality. However, it's pricier and not as suitable for intensive tasks like gaming or engineering due to its integrated graphics.
The Acer Aspire Go 15, on the other hand, is a more budget-friendly option with a larger screen, making it a decent choice for everyday tasks and multimedia consumption. It's also lighter and more portable despite the larger screen size. But, it falls short in terms of performance, battery life, and overall build quality compared to the Yoga 6.
If you value performance, versatility, and build quality for general use and are willing to pay a premium for it, the Lenovo Yoga 6 is the better choice. If you're looking for a more affordable laptop for basic tasks and prioritize a larger screen, the Acer Aspire Go 15 could be sufficient for your needs. Give Feedback

How the Acer Aspire Go 15 and the Lenovo Yoga 6 compare to other laptops
"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."
