The Acer Swift X (2023) offers better performance for intensive engineering tasks and boasts a stronger GPU that is more suitable for gaming, but this comes with the tradeoff of heavier weight and higher cost. It's less portable than the Lenovo Yoga 6, which is more affordable and has a touchscreen, making it a more versatile option for general use. The Yoga 6 also has a longer battery life, enhancing its portability. The choice hinges on whether you value performance and gaming capabilities over cost savings and portability. Give Feedback

The Acer Swift X (2023) and Lenovo Yoga 6 are both only fair for gaming and AI, though the Acer Swift X (2023) is somewhat better.
The Acer Swift X is better suited for gaming and 3D tasks compared to the Lenovo Yoga 6 because it is equipped with a higher-end Nvidia RTX 3050 graphics card and a faster screen refresh rate which is key for smooth visuals during gaming or 3D rendering. Conversely, the Yoga 6 uses integrated graphics from its Ryzen processor and has a standard refresh rate, making it less ideal for these high-intensity graphics tasks.

The Acer Swift X (2023) is very good for engineering and design, while the Lenovo Yoga 6 is good.
The Acer Swift X (2023) excels in engineering and design due to its robust Intel i5 CPU, dedicated Nvidia RTX 3050 GPU, and high-resolution IPS screen, which contribute to powerful performance and sharp display quality but at the cost of slightly heavier weight and shorter battery life.

The Acer Swift X has a better screen than the Lenovo Yoga 6 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The Acer Swift X boasts a display with higher resolution and brightness, which makes for a clear and vivid image, enhancing the quality for general tasks and detailed work in engineering and design due to its superior color representation. The Lenovo Yoga 6, while offering decent resolution and adequate brightness, provides a satisfactory experience for general use and acceptable performance for design tasks since it covers enough color range but not as extensively. However, for gaming and 3D applications, both laptops fall short due to lower refresh rates, which can result in less fluid motion and a less immersive experience.

Sebastian Jentsch | March 2022
"The Swift X is an Acer for entry-level gaming. With the entry-level graphics chip, our Acer not only beats every single current AMD and Intel iGPU, but also Intel's dGPU Iris Xe Max. However, despite being a GDDR6 version, the GTX does not match the expectations set by its own counterparts from our database. This may be a result of the single fan, which only produces moderate noise levels under load. The performance level of the thin and light 1.4 kg (~3.09 lbs) 14-inch laptop is impressive nonetheless."

"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."
