If performance is a priority and you need a device suitable for more intensive tasks like engineering or 3D modeling, the Lenovo Yoga 6 with its higher-end processor and more RAM will serve you better and offers a touchscreen with a high-resolution display. However, this comes at a higher cost and with a slightly smaller screen size than the ASUS Vivobook Go 14. On the other hand, if budget is a major concern and your usage is geared more towards general tasks, the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 provides sufficient capabilities at a lower price point, but with less power for demanding applications and a longer battery life. Both are portable, but the Yoga 6 offers a superior battery life and a better build quality. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Yoga 6 is good for general use, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 is only fair.
The Lenovo Yoga 6 offers a more powerful processor, double the RAM, higher resolution with touchscreen capabilities, better screen color coverage, and significantly longer battery life compared to the ASUS Vivobook Go 14, which makes it better suited for demanding tasks and general use. While both have good portability, the Yoga 6's 360-degree hinge allows it to double as a tablet, which alongside its superior specs, justifies its status as being good for general use, in comparison to the fair rating of the Vivobook.

The Lenovo Yoga 6 is good for engineering and design, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 14's lower-tier CPU and GPU, less RAM, and lower quality screen make it poorly equipped for demanding engineering and design tasks compared to the Lenovo Yoga 6, which offers a powerful CPU, more RAM, a superior integrated GPU, and a higher quality screen with better color coverage and brightness. Additionally, the Yoga 6's 2-in-1 convertible form and touch screen option offer added versatility for design work, although the Vivobook Go is lighter and could be easier to carry around.

The Lenovo Yoga 6 has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 for general use, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, where sharp images and comfortable visibility are key, both the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 and Lenovo Yoga 6 with their respective resolutions and brightness provide adequate clarity, though they may not stand out in a crowd. The Lenovo Yoga 6, with its better color gamut coverage, offers more vibrant and accurate colors, essential for detailed engineering and design work. However, neither is optimal for 3D gaming; their lower refresh rates can lead to less smooth visuals, although the Lenovo Yoga 6's slightly superior panel might offer somewhat clearer images.

The ASUS Vivobook Go 14 has a lower-end GPU in the AMD Radeon 610M and a less powerful AMD Ryzen 3 CPU, limiting its gaming and 3D capabilities. The Lenovo Yoga 6 offers better performance in these areas due to its stronger integrated Vega 8 graphics in the AMD Ryzen 7 CPU and superior screen quality, despite both having the same screen refresh rate.

How the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 and the Lenovo Yoga 6 compare to other laptops
"The lack of a backlit keyboard in this price segment shouldn't sway the buyer the other way. However, it still comes down to user preference. The Vivobook Go 14 is a decent laptop in an extremely competitive price segment. A few omissions are a part of the balancing to reach the price segment. The Asus Vivobook Go 14 is a rare find when it comes to the price to performance ratio."
"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."
