The MacBook Pro 13 (2022) typically comes at a higher cost and offers great build quality, a high-quality screen with excellent color accuracy, and silent operation due to its fanless design, along with a long battery life. It's well-suited for general use and has ample power for engineering tasks, though it is not the best option for gaming. The Lenovo Yoga 6 costs less, has a touch screen, and includes more RAM and storage, but its build quality and display are not as premium as the MacBook's. It is a versatile laptop with a decent performance for general and engineering use but like the MacBook Pro, it is not ideal for intensive gaming or the highest-end creative tasks. Give Feedback

The Apple MacBook Pro 13 (2022) and Lenovo Yoga 6 are both good for general use.
The Apple MacBook Pro 13 (2022) with its M2 chip and high-resolution IPS display provides robust performance and stunning visuals for general use, with the added benefits of macOS integration and a very long battery life making it highly portable.

Andreas Osthoff | June 2022
"The MacBook Pro 13 is still a very good subnotebook. The 2022 MacBook Pro 13 might look like recycling at first, because the device is completely identical to the old model expect for the new M2 SoC. We have to admit that we were surprised to see another iteration of the MBP 13 as well. The laptop is obviously familiar, but this does not change the fact that it is still a very good subnotebook. You get an excellent chassis with good stability, a very good display, good input devices and the new M2 chip is very powerful and efficient."

"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."
