For general use with a focus on affordability, the ASUS R410MA is the less expensive option. However, it has less storage, less RAM, and a lower-tier processor with a basic screen, which may limit performance and visual experience. On the other hand, if you need better performance for tasks like 3D rendering and engineering and are willing to invest more, the Lenovo Yoga 6 offers a more powerful processor, more RAM, and a higher-quality screen with touch capability. Although the Yoga 6 is heavier and more costly, it compensates with better battery life and higher build quality. The Yoga 6's 16:10 aspect ratio and higher resolution also offer more vertical screen space, which may be beneficial for productivity tasks. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Yoga 6 is good for general use, while the ASUS R410MA is poor.
The ASUS R410MA, with its lower-end CPU, less RAM, and inferior screen quality is less capable of handling multiple tasks and providing a clear and vibrant display compared to the Lenovo Yoga 6, which has a more powerful CPU, more RAM, higher resolution touchscreen, and better color accuracy. Additionally, the Yoga 6 offers superior portability and longer battery life, which are crucial for on-the-go use, whereas the R410MA, although lightweight, falls short in battery life and has a screen that is less suitable for outdoor use or viewing from multiple angles.

The Lenovo Yoga 6 is only fair for gaming and AI, while the ASUS R410MA is poor.
The ASUS R410MA is limited by its basic Intel UHD Graphics 600 and a lower resolution screen, making it less suitable for gaming and 3D applications, while the Lenovo Yoga 6 offers better gaming and 3D performance due to its AMD Ryzen Vega 8 graphics and a higher resolution display, despite both having the same screen refresh rate.

The Lenovo Yoga 6 is good for engineering and design, while the ASUS R410MA is poor.
The ASUS R410MA, with a basic CPU and GPU and a lower quality screen, falls short for engineering and design tasks that require strong processing power and detailed visuals. In contrast, the Lenovo Yoga 6's higher-end CPU, superior integrated GPU, and sharper, more vibrant IPS screen better support the demands of engineering applications and design work.

The Lenovo Yoga 6 has a better screen than the ASUS R410MA for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The ASUS R410MA's lower resolution and dim display hinder its overall screen experience for general tasks, and the narrow color gamut alongside modest brightness leads to less accurate color representation, crucial for engineering and design work. The Lenovo Yoga 6 has a fair quality display for everyday activities with better brightness and sharpness, while its wider color gamut provides more precise color necessary for design tasks. However, for gaming and 3D applications where smooth motion is key, both laptops fall short due to their standard refresh rates, although the Lenovo's better resolution and panel type give it a slight edge in visual fidelity.

"The Asus Laptop L410 is a super-affordable PC, even among budget notebooks, compromising on the display and processing power to deliver a serviceable Windows machine with good battery life and useful ports. The build is reasonably solid, there’s a good mix of ports, battery life is long enough, and it can perform basic everyday tasks. On the flip side, the screen is poor, anything other than basic tasks is a tough ask, and it has little memory and even less storage."
"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."
