If performance during intensive tasks is a priority and you prefer a larger screen and dedicated graphics, the Asus Zenbook Pro 15 stands out, albeit it is less portable and costs more. Conversely, the Lenovo Yoga 6 is more affordable, easier to carry, and still performs well for general use, with a newer processor but relies on integrated graphics, which may affect performance during demanding 3D applications. Both laptops offer comparable battery life. The Zenbook's OLED screen delivers vivid colors, ideal for creative work, whereas the Yoga's IPS screen has a higher pixel density, benefiting text clarity and general media consumption.

How the ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 and the Lenovo Yoga 6 compare to other laptops
"The ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 offers a strong CPU, chassis, and display. One of the most popular 15.6-inch prosumer or multimedia laptops out there is the Dell XPS 15. Thus, comparisons between it and the Asus Zenbook Pro 15 are inevitable. Asus has a couple of tricks up its sleeve that XPS users are still missing out on including 1080p OLED and an AMD Ryzen CPU which help separate the Zenbook Pro 15 from the XPS 15. It also integrates a numpad and a few more port options albeit at the cost of a larger chassis size."
"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."
