If you prioritize a higher resolution display with vibrant colors and are engaged in tasks like photo editing, the Asus Zenbook 14X with its OLED screen could be a better option, given its display characteristics. However, it offers less battery life compared to the Lenovo Yoga 6, which may be a better pick for those who need longer use on a single charge and the flexibility of a touchscreen. The Lenovo also provides adequate performance for general use and benefits from a slightly more portable design due to a smaller screen size. Both laptops have similar storage and memory, but the Asus has a dedicated Nvidia GPU that may benefit certain engineering or creative tasks better, while the Lenovo's integrated Vega graphics are suited for everyday use.

The ASUS Zenbook 14X has a better screen than the Lenovo Yoga 6 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
When selecting between the ASUS Zenbook 14X and Lenovo Yoga 6 for diverse needs, consider that the Zenbook's superior panel type and higher resolution lead to a crisper, brighter display for everyday tasks, making it more suitable for general use. For engineering and design, the Zenbook's wider color gamuts ensure more accurate color representation, which is crucial for professionals. However, for gaming and 3D applications, the Zenbook falls short due to a lower refresh rate, resulting in less fluid motion compared to laptops designed specifically for those purposes.

The Lenovo Yoga 6 and ASUS Zenbook 14X are both good for general use.
The ASUS Zenbook 14X offers a high-quality OLED screen, solid performance with an Intel i7 processor and dedicated Nvidia graphics, but it has a shorter battery life than the Lenovo Yoga 6, which balances a decent AMD Ryzen 7 CPU with integrated graphics, substantial battery life, and 2-in-1 versatility for tablet use, though it has a lower-tier screen. The Zenbook prioritizes screen quality and performance ideal for visual tasks, while the Yoga 6 provides longer-lasting portability and flexible use cases. Both have ample memory and storage, but you'll experience a sturdier keyboard and less operating noise with the Zenbook, while the Yoga 6 manages heat better.

The ASUS Zenbook 14X and Lenovo Yoga 6 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The ASUS Zenbook 14X has a dedicated Nvidia MX550 GPU and a higher screen refresh rate which can benefit gaming and 3D applications, while the Lenovo Yoga 6 uses an integrated Vega 8 GPU which may provide less graphical performance, but offers more versatility as a 2-in-1 convertible. The Zenbook's display may show richer colors and smoother motion, whereas the Yoga's strengths lie in its dual function and potential for better battery life.

How the ASUS Zenbook 14X and the Lenovo Yoga 6 compare to other laptops
"With the Zenbook 14X, Asus has a 14-incher in its range that is - mostly - a joy to use. First, there is the colorful OLED panel with 3K resolution that displays the sRGB and DCI-P3 color spaces. The Zenbook is also at the forefront in terms of workmanship, input devices and connections with 2x Thunderbolt 4 ports and a generous keyboard layout. A pleasure to use, the Zenbook 14X is a solid, very well-built subnotebook that sits well on the table. A runtime of five hours, however, is below average for a high-end subnotebook nowadays. The OLED screensaver causes increased power consumption when in idle mode."
"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."
