The ASUS Vivobook 14 is a more budget-friendly option with good general use performance, light weight, and a quality build for everyday tasks. However, its battery life is shorter and it doesn't have a touchscreen or as high-quality screen colors compared to the Lenovo Yoga 6. The Lenovo Yoga 6 is slightly more expensive but offers a touchscreen, longer battery life, and more vibrant colors, making it preferable for tasks that benefit from a higher quality display, like design work. It also has a higher storage capacity and more RAM, which would make it better suited for more demanding applications and multitasking. Choose the ASUS for a cost-effective, reliable general use laptop, or opt for the Lenovo if you need enhanced screen features, longer battery life, and can utilize the extra storage and memory.

How the ASUS Vivobook 14 and the Lenovo Yoga 6 compare to other laptops
"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."
