If you need a powerful device for intensive tasks like gaming or engineering software, the ASUS ROG Flow X16 would be a great choice due to its high-performance processor and dedicated graphics card, but this also means the device is heavier and has a shorter battery life. On the other hand, the Lenovo Yoga 6 offers longer battery life and is more portable due to its lighter weight, making it suitable for general use and on-the-go productivity; however, its integrated graphics are less capable for demanding software and games. The ASUS is also generally more expensive than the Lenovo. Give Feedback

The ASUS ROG Flow X16 is very good for engineering and design, while the Lenovo Yoga 6 is good.
The ASUS ROG Flow X16 stands out for engineering and design owing to its more powerful AMD Ryzen 9 CPU, superior Nvidia RTX 3060 GPU, and high-quality screen with a very bright display and high resolution, which are essential for intensive tasks and detailed visual work. In contrast, while the Lenovo Yoga 6 also supports engineering applications with a competent AMD Ryzen 7 CPU and integrated GPU, its portability and longer battery life position it as a more travel-friendly option at the expense of the higher performance and screen capabilities of the ASUS.

How the ASUS ROG Flow X16 and the Lenovo Yoga 6 compare to other laptops
"Above all else, the Asus ROG Flow X16 is one thing - versatile! It is a thin, mobile work device, it's a 2-in-1, tablet, a powerful workstation and even a gaming PC. But something even more surprising: It does all of these things really well without making any big blunders. It's anything but a lazy compromise. Because, despite its compact dimensions and 2-in-1 functionality, the hardware isn't throttled and boasts, at least in turbo mode, above-average 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."
