The ASUS ROG Strix G15 has a better screen than the Lenovo Yoga 6 for general use, and gaming and AI, while the Lenovo Yoga 6 has a better screen for content creation.
If you primarily use your laptop for general tasks like browsing, watching videos, or office work, the ASUS ROG Strix G15's vivid screen and resolution offer a crisp and visually pleasing experience.

How the ASUS ROG Strix G15 and the Lenovo Yoga 6 compare to other laptops
"The ASUS ROG Strix G15 is a successful high-performance 15-inch laptop. The Asus ROG Strix impresses with an elaborate design and fast hardware. The latter can unleash its potential well in the large 15-inch case and achieve a decent performance boost compared to the previous generation. Especially the stunning 300 Hz display as well as the RTX 3070 and its generous TDP give gamers their money's worth. Asus didn't neglect seemingly small details, either, such as the keyboard and the maintenance options. The ROG Strix G15 offers a lot of pure performance and excellent workmanship in a 15-inch format, but connectivity leaves something to be desired."
"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."
