The ASUS Vivobook 16X is often significantly more expensive than the Lenovo Yoga 6, but it offers better performance for 3D, machine learning, and engineering tasks with a dedicated Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU and a stronger processor. However, it is heavier and has less battery life compared to the lightweight and longer-lasting Lenovo Yoga 6, which also features a touchscreen and is more portable. The Vivobook has a larger screen and higher refresh rate, suited for fast motion, which the Yoga 6's lower refresh rate might not handle as smoothly. The Yoga 6 has a higher contrast display, indicating potentially better screen quality for general use. If you need gaming or resource-intensive capabilities and don't mind the extra weight, the Vivobook is preferable. Otherwise, for general use, portability, and better battery life, the Yoga is the better option. Give Feedback

How the ASUS Vivobook 16X and the Lenovo Yoga 6 compare to other laptops
"I think the ASUS Vivobook 16X is fantastic. Great performance, decent battery life, good keyboard and trackpad, and a massive screen – just that the screen quality itself is kinda subpar. If you’re okay with the screen, then I think this is an okay laptop. However, I’d like to see a price drop."
"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."
