The ASUS Vivobook S 15 offers a larger storage capacity, suitable for tasks that require a lot of space like video editing. It's slightly heavier and larger, making it less portable than the Lenovo Yoga 6, which is more compact, lighter, and has a longer battery life, ideal for on-the-go use. Both have a similar processor and graphics unit; however, the Lenovo Yoga 6 comes with a touchscreen and higher screen resolution, which can be better for creative work or multitasking. When deciding, consider how much you'll travel with the laptop and if touchscreen functionality and longer battery life are more valuable to you than extra storage space. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Yoga 6 has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook S 15 for general use, and engineering and design.
The ASUS Vivobook S 15 and Lenovo Yoga 6 both offer screens with sufficient resolution and brightness for everyday tasks, but they fall short for more specialized activities. The Lenovo Yoga 6 edges ahead in engineering and design work due to its superior color accuracy and wider color gamuts, ensuring that designs and images are represented more truly. However, for gaming and 3D applications, both models lack the high refresh rates required for smooth visuals, which can hinder the gaming experience.

The ASUS Vivobook S 15 and Lenovo Yoga 6 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The ASUS Vivobook S 15 and Lenovo Yoga 6 have similar capabilities for gaming and 3D due to both having integrated GPUs (AMD Vega 8) which provide moderate performance but are not as powerful as dedicated gaming GPUs. They also share the standard screen refresh rate of 60Hz, which is adequate for casual gaming but not ideal for fast-paced games where higher refresh rates can offer smoother visuals. While the CPUs and screen quality are somewhat important, they don't contribute as significantly as the GPU and refresh rate to gaming and 3D performance.

How the ASUS Vivobook S 15 and the Lenovo Yoga 6 compare to other laptops
"Internals make Asus VivoBook S15 laptop a compelling option. The Asus multimedia laptop may look rather below-average with its modest black chassis, lack of a dedicated GPU, limited RAM and meagre port selection without Thunderbolt support. But your impression of the device will start changing once you set your eyes on its high-contrast OLED capable of producing deep blacks and highly accurate colours. And your opinion will change completely when the VivoBook is switched on. The AMD CPU can effortlessly keep up with powerful rivals from Intel. The integrated Radeon graphics blows away Intel's iGPU when it comes to graphics workloads such as rendering and simpler games."
"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."
