The ASUS Vivobook 15X is a good choice if you need a larger screen size for multitasking and general use, but it comes with modest performance suitable for day-to-day activities. On the other hand, the Lenovo Yoga 6, with its smaller and higher-resolution touchscreen display, is more portable and versatile thanks to its 2-in-1 design, making it a better fit if you're often on the move and appreciate tablet functionality. It also has double the memory of the Vivobook, which may prove beneficial for multitasking and more demanding applications. If battery life is crucial, the Yoga 6 outlasts the Vivobook by several hours. Both laptops have a similar price point, so consider how the size, screen type, performance needs, and battery life align with your daily activities to make the best choice for you. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Yoga 6 and ASUS Vivobook 15X are both good for general use, though the Lenovo Yoga 6 is somewhat better.
The ASUS Vivobook 15X has a decent CPU and sufficient RAM for everyday tasks, a standard screen quality and size, but its portability and battery life are only average, with a heavier weight and less time unplugged than preferred. In contrast, the Lenovo Yoga 6 provides a superior CPU, double the RAM, a higher-resolution and quality touchscreen that enhances visuals, superior portability with a lighter build and significantly longer battery life, which makes it good for general use, despite having a somewhat less impressive speaker quality.

The Lenovo Yoga 6 is good for engineering and design, while the ASUS Vivobook 15X is only fair.
The Lenovo Yoga 6 is favored for engineering and design over the ASUS Vivobook 15X because it houses a more powerful AMD Ryzen 7 processor and double the RAM, alongside a GPU with better performance, which are very important for such tasks. Additionally, the Yoga's higher resolution, touchscreen, and better screen quality directly benefit design work, while still maintaining great portability due to its lighter weight and smaller form factor.

The Lenovo Yoga 6 has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook 15X for general use, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The ASUS Vivobook 15X offers fair screen quality for general use due to its average resolution and brightness, but lacks the higher refresh rates preferred for gaming and the wide color gamuts essential for precision in engineering and design tasks. Meanwhile, the Lenovo Yoga 6 also provides an adequate display for everyday tasks, elevating its suitability for engineering and design work with better color reproduction, but like the Vivobook, falls short for gaming and 3D applications due to a limited refresh rate. For consumers prioritizing screen fidelity for professional creative work, the Yoga 6 is a better fit, whereas both may be adequate for casual use but not ideal for fast-paced gaming experiences.

The Lenovo Yoga 6 and ASUS Vivobook 15X are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The ASUS Vivobook 15X and Lenovo Yoga 6 are both fair for gaming and 3D due to having integrated GPUs, which limit graphical performance compared to dedicated gaming GPUs. While both have similar screen refresh rates, the Vivobook 15X has a larger screen with modest color and brightness, and the Yoga 6, though smaller, offers higher screen quality with better color accuracy and brightness, but neither excels in features specific to high-end gaming or advanced 3D tasks.

How the ASUS Vivobook 15X and the Lenovo Yoga 6 compare to other laptops
"All in all, my day on the Vivobook had its ups and downs. It is a really pretty and well-built device, and it had all of the functionality I needed to get me through my browser-based workload. But the speakers weren’t my favorite, and the battery life was just too short."
"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."
