Based on the information provided, the Asus Zenbook Duo 14 offers a powerful Intel processor and a secondary touchscreen, but it is more expensive and heavier, making it less portable. The Yoga 6, on the other hand, comes with a Ryzen processor, more RAM, slightly better battery life, and is more portable due to its lighter weight. Therefore, if you require dual screens and prioritize CPU performance for tasks like coding or content creation, the Zenbook Duo might be suitable, but if you prefer a lighter laptop with longer battery life for everyday use and still moderately intensive tasks, the Lenovo Yoga 6 stands out as a better option.

The Lenovo Yoga 6 and ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 and Lenovo Yoga 6 are considered fair for gaming and 3D applications because they both have integrated graphics rather than dedicated gaming GPUs and standard screen refresh rates, which may limit performance in high-end gaming and complex 3D tasks. While both laptops offer decent processors and good screen quality, their GPU capabilities and refresh rates don't match those found in dedicated gaming machines, leading to their fair assessment in these categories.

How the ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 and the Lenovo Yoga 6 compare to other laptops
"The Asus ZenBook Duo's second screen is like the Apple Touch Bar, but better. Most would agree that having two screens instead of one can really boost productivity and the ZenBook Duo is no different in this regard. It's tough going back to just one screen after becoming accustomed to spacious dual-screen setups. For a laptop form factor, however, users will have to accept some compromises. Firstly, weight is the most obvious drawback as the system is several hundred grams heavier than a regular ZenBook 14. Additionally, colors on the second screen will not be as vivid as the main display."
"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."
