The ASUS TUF Gaming A15, being more pricey, offers higher performance suited for gaming, 3D tasks, and engineering software, thanks to its robust processor and advanced graphics card. Its larger screen with a high refresh rate also enhances the gaming experience, but it's heavier and less portable. The battery is larger, potentially giving you longer usage times. On the other hand, the Lenovo Yoga 6 is less expensive and more portable with its smaller size and light weight, and it also doubles as a tablet. However, its performance, particularly in graphically intensive tasks, is lower due to its integrated graphics. This makes the Yoga 6 better suited for general use and those who prioritize portability and versatility over high-performance computing. Give Feedback

The ASUS TUF Gaming A15 has a better screen than the Lenovo Yoga 6 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, and content creation.
For general use, the ASUS TUF Gaming A15 with its adequate resolution and brightness provides a crisp and clear display, while the Lenovo Yoga 6 offers a decent display that's less vibrant but still suitable for everyday tasks.

How the ASUS TUF Gaming A15 and the Lenovo Yoga 6 compare to other laptops
"With the release of the TUF Gaming A15, Asos have concentrated on the essentials: gaming performance. Our base version, which can be had for around $1,169, already provided enough power to play current games smoothly in a native resolution of 1080p and with maximum details - thanks to its new Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop. If you utilize upscaling, then you can even manage to run ray tracing."
"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."
