The Asus Vivobook S 15 OLED offers high-end performance suitable for intensive engineering tasks and 3D- or machine learning work, but it comes at a higher price and with reduced portability compared to the Lenovo Yoga 6. The Vivobook has an OLED display with higher brightness and wider color coverage, making it excellent for media consumption and creative work. In contrast, the Yoga 6 has a lower-resolution IPS touchscreen and is more compact, lightweight, and offers better battery life, making it ideal for general use and on-the-go productivity. Choose the Vivobook for high-demand tasks and superior screen quality, or the Yoga for better portability, touchscreen capability, and value. Give Feedback

The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED has a better screen than the Lenovo Yoga 6 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED features a high contrast and vibrant display, benefiting tasks that require accurate color representation, thus making it excellent for engineering and design work. However, its possibly lower refresh rate compared to gaming-centric screens may not meet the demands of high-frame-rate gaming or 3D applications, where smooth motion is critical. Meanwhile, the Lenovo Yoga 6 offers decent screen capabilities suitable for general tasks and engineering design, yet it may fall short for gaming and 3D purposes, likely due to a lower refresh rate and possibly less stellar color coverage relative to specialized gaming laptops.

How the ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED and the Lenovo Yoga 6 compare to other laptops
"The Asus Vivobook S 15 OLED excels as a capable work machine at an affordable price. It offers commendable performance, thanks to its 12th Gen Intel chip, delivers quality on-screen entertainment with its 15.6-inch OLED display, and can (kind of) get you through a full day of work. Oh, and its special Asus Antibacterial Guard is a nice touch for those who like a clean laptop."
"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."
