If you prioritize high performance for tasks like 3D rendering, machine learning, or gaming, the ASUS ROG Flow X13, with its more powerful CPU and GPU, is better suited. However, the Lenovo Yoga 6, while offering significantly lower performance in these areas, has a longer battery life and is generally more affordable. The ASUS model is also a bit lighter and has a higher refresh rate display which is better for gaming and fast-paced content, while the Lenovo has a good-quality display matched with sufficient performance for general use and it may also handle some lighter engineering work. Both are portable and offer touchscreens with similar sizes and aspect ratios. Give Feedback

The ASUS ROG Flow X13 has a better screen than the Lenovo Yoga 6 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
When choosing a laptop for general use, the ASUS ROG Flow X13 stands out with its high-resolution, bright display that makes text clear and videos pop, whereas the Lenovo Yoga 6, with moderate brightness and resolution, is still serviceable for everyday tasks. For engineering and design, where color accuracy is key, the ASUS's robust color gamut caters to professionals needing precision, while the Lenovo's decent range still supports less demanding design tasks. However, the ASUS falls short for gaming and 3D work due to a refresh rate that isn't ideal for fast-paced visuals, despite its resolution and panel quality, whereas the Lenovo Yoga 6 similarly struggles for these uses due to its modest refresh rate and resolution.

"The Asus ROG Flow X13 is not an off-the-shelf convertible. This quickly becomes clear when you take a closer look at the technical specs. The AMD Ryzen 9 5980HS is a state-of-the-art SoC with 8 cores and 16 threads, which also makes the 2-in-1 interesting as a work device. With 32 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD, gamers are also well taken care of. The dedicated Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q fits well into the overall concept and ensures a solid 3D performance. With the eGPU dock, which is equipped with a GeForce RTX 3080, the small convertible transforms into a full-fledged desktop replacement in terms of performance."
"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."
