When choosing between the ASUS Zenbook 14 and the Lenovo Yoga 6, consider the following: the ASUS Zenbook 14 comes at a lower price and is equipped with an OLED screen, which offers vibrant colors and deeper blacks. However, the Lenovo Yoga 6, despite being more expensive, features a 2-in-1 design, allowing you to use it both as a laptop and a tablet, and comes with a higher amount of storage and memory, which can be important for performance in multitasking and storage-intensive tasks. The Yoga 6 also has an AMD Ryzen 7 processor with Radeon graphics, potentially offering better integrated graphics performance compared to the Intel i5-1240P in the Zenbook 14. Both have similar port configurations and battery life; therefore, your decision might lean towards the Yoga 6 if you need the flexibility of a 2-in-1 and can handle a higher price, or towards the Zenbook 14 if budget and screen quality are your priorities.

The ASUS Zenbook 14 has a better screen than the Lenovo Yoga 6 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design, while the Lenovo Yoga 6 has a better screen for content creation, and software development.
The ASUS Zenbook 14 provides a high-resolution display with robust color accuracy, making it excellent for graphics-intensive tasks such as engineering and design, but its standard refresh rate limits its appeal for gaming and 3D applications. The Lenovo Yoga 6, although delivering fair resolution and brightness suitable for everyday tasks, brings good color gamut coverage to support work in engineering and design but falls short in refresh rate for gaming and 3D content. Gamers and those using 3D software should consider models with higher refresh rates to ensure smoother visuals and better gaming performance.

The Lenovo Yoga 6 and ASUS Zenbook 14 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The ASUS Zenbook 14 is equipped with an Intel Iris Xe GPU and a 90Hz OLED screen, making it fair for gaming and 3D applications but not ideal for the most demanding games due to its integrated graphics. Conversely, the Lenovo Yoga 6 features the AMD Vega 8 GPU and a standard 60Hz IPS screen, and while its graphics capability is similar to the Zenbook, the lower refresh rate makes it less suited for fast-paced gaming, yet still capable for moderate gaming and 3D tasks.

How the ASUS Zenbook 14 and the Lenovo Yoga 6 compare to other laptops
"Users who travel frequently and are looking for a portable laptop are in the right place with the Asus ZenBook 14. The sleek case is extremely light (1.2 kg) and surprisingly thin (1.5 cm). Outdoor use is also enjoyable thanks to the bright Full HD display, which is something that can rarely be said about laptops with TN or IPS panels. The excellent battery life complements this as well. Longer trips are no problem with the ZenBook 14. Another plus point is the high-performance Ryzen 7 5700U, which often leaves the Intel competition in the dust thanks to its large number of cores."
"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."
