If you prioritize display quality and overall performance, especially for tasks involving graphics, the ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 stands out with a higher resolution screen and stronger general, 3D, and engineering performance. It also offers a more potent processor and graphics suitable for intensive usage, but at a higher price and slightly less portability. In contrast, the Lenovo Yoga 6 is more affordable with a longer battery life and better portability, but it has a lower resolution display and may not be as powerful for demanding applications, although it's still capable for general use and moderate engineering tasks.

The ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 has a better screen than the Lenovo Yoga 6 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, and content creation.
The ASUS Zenbook Flip S13, with its superior resolution and bright display, excels for general use, offering crisp and vivid images, which also benefits engineering and design work as it likely has wider color gamuts ensuring accurate color representation. However, its lower refresh rate makes it less ideal for gaming and 3D applications, where smoother motion is crucial. Conversely, the Lenovo Yoga 6's adequate resolution and brightness support everyday tasks commendably, and while it's good enough for some engineering and design due to acceptable color coverage, it falls short for gaming and 3D work due to similar constraints with refresh rate.

The ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 and Lenovo Yoga 6 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The ASUS Zenbook Flip S13, with its Intel i7-1165G7 Iris Xe graphics, and the Lenovo Yoga 6, with AMD Ryzen 7 7730U Vega 8 graphics, both have integrated GPUs that offer moderate gaming and 3D performance but are not as powerful as dedicated gaming GPUs. Both have similar screen refresh rates, which are adequate for casual gaming but might not be as smooth for fast-paced games, and they both have high-quality displays, with the ASUS offering a higher resolution and the Lenovo providing a taller aspect ratio, impacting screen quality and workspace.

How the ASUS Zenbook Flip S13 and the Lenovo Yoga 6 compare to other laptops
"The Asus Zenbook S 13 Flip is an ultra-sleek 2-in-1 convertible. A gorgeous OLED screen and lightweight magnesium chassis make this convertible a traveller’s dream. Its SSD isn’t fast, but it won’t hold you back in everyday use. Its battery life also isn’t class leading, but it’s hardly off the pace. Overall, the Zenbook S 13 Flip OLED holds its head high in the premium convertible category and is a smaller alternative to the Spectre x360 13.5 and the Yoga 9i Gen 7."
"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."
