The Acer Swift X (2022) is typically more expensive but offers a dedicated Nvidia RTX 3050 GPU, better-suited for intensive engineering tasks, 3D rendering, and some gaming. It does not have a touchscreen and has a slightly larger, higher-resolution display than the Lenovo Yoga 6. The Yoga 6, while typically less expensive, integrates graphics into the AMD Ryzen processor, making it less powerful for demanding graphics work but sufficient for general use. It features a touchscreen, which may appeal to those who benefit from a tactile interface. Both laptops have comparable battery life, but the Acer Swift X has a marginally higher battery capacity, while the Yoga 6 lasts a bit longer on a charge. The Yoga is slightly lighter and thus more portable. Both are equipped with similar storage and RAM, ensuring competent general use and are Windows 11 Home systems. Give Feedback

The Acer Swift X (2022) and Lenovo Yoga 6 are both good for engineering and design, though the Acer Swift X (2022) is somewhat better.
The Acer Swift X (2022) is well-suited for engineering and design use because it features a powerful Intel i7 processor and a dedicated Nvidia RTX 3050 GPU, providing robust performance and graphics capabilities that are essential for such tasks, along with a high-resolution IPS display for clear visuals. Meanwhile, the Lenovo Yoga 6 also caters to engineering and design use with its AMD Ryzen 7 processor with integrated Vega 8 graphics, offering decent performance and the flexibility of a touchscreen 2-in-1 design, although it may lag slightly behind in high-end graphical processing compared to the Swift X.

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 has a display that offers crisp images and bright colors due to its higher resolution and panel type, making it suitable for general use; its wide color gamut supports engineering and design work, where color accuracy is critical. The Lenovo Yoga 6 provides an adequate display for general tasks but excels in engineering and design due to its ability to accurately represent a wide range of colors. However, both laptops fall short for Gaming and 3D purposes because their screens do not have high refresh rates, which are crucial for smooth motion rendering in fast-paced visual environments.

The Acer Swift X (2022) and Lenovo Yoga 6 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Acer Swift X (2022) offers fair gaming and 3D performance with its Nvidia RTX 3050 GPU, which is better suited to these tasks than typical integrated graphics, although its 60 Hz screen refresh rate isn't ideal for fast-paced games. The Lenovo Yoga 6, while also fair for gaming and 3D, integrates its graphics directly into the AMD Ryzen CPU, which usually doesn't match a dedicated GPU like the RTX 3050 in performance, and similarly features a 60 Hz screen refresh rate.

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."
