The ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2024) is very good for gaming and AI, while the Lenovo Yoga 6 is only fair.
The ASUS ROG Strix G16 has a high-performance GPU and a fast screen refresh rate, which are crucial for smooth gaming and effective 3D rendering, making it a strong choice for those activities. The Lenovo Yoga 6, while it has a decent CPU and good screen quality, doesn't match the ASUS in terms of graphics processing power or refresh rate, which may limit its ability to handle demanding games and 3D tasks as efficiently.

How the ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2024) and the Lenovo Yoga 6 compare to other laptops
"With the mobile Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080, the Asus ROG Stix G16 hits the sweet spot between performance and cooling. The G16 also does not have to shy away from direct comparison with its supposedly stronger family member, the ROG Strix Scar 18 with its RTX 4090, as most benchmarks of the two laptops are very close to each other. Moreover, the G16 should be significantly cheaper. Depending on the supplier, the price difference here could be almost US$ 2,000. In the 2023 model series, Asus has significantly leveled out the differences between the two high-end lines."
"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."
