If you prioritize high performance for tasks like 3D rendering, machine learning, or gaming, and are willing to pay more, the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is an excellent choice with a superior processor, graphics card, and RAM. Its dual-screen setup could be highly beneficial for multitasking and productivity, but this also makes it heavier and less portable. On the other hand, if you value portability, better battery life, and a lower cost, the Lenovo Yoga 6 is a solid pick. It’s lighter and offers good performance for general use, though it won't handle intensive tasks as smoothly as the ASUS. Both have touchscreens, but the ASUS has a superior display in terms of resolution and color accuracy, which can be essential for creative professionals. Give Feedback

The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is good for gaming and AI, while the Lenovo Yoga 6 is only fair.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is superior for gaming and 3D tasks mainly due to its high-performance Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti GPU, which is more powerful than the integrated Vega 8 graphics on the Lenovo Yoga 6. Additionally, the ASUS has a screen with higher quality, including an OLED panel and better color coverage, which provides a more vibrant and immersive visual experience compared to the Lenovo's IPS display; although both have the same screen refresh rate, the GPU and screen quality on the ASUS make it better suited for gaming and 3D.

"Benchmarks aside, the Asus ZenBook Pro Duo is hard to compare with other PCs. Its closest competition may be a multi-monitor desktop, or a laptop with an attached travel monitor. The Pro Duo is more portable and versatile than either of those options, especially with the software tools Asus has thrown on top. For a certain niche of artists, media creators, and gamers, all that might add up to something special, even if it’s unattainable for the rest of us."
"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."
