The Lenovo Yoga 6 has a better screen than the Dell Inspiron 14 7425 for general use, engineering and design, and software development.
For general use, a laptop with a bright, high-resolution display and robust panel type offers comfortable viewing for everyday tasks like browsing, watching videos, and working with documents, where the Dell Inspiron 14 7425 provides a satisfactory experience. Engineering and design professionals require accurate color reproduction for precision work, which the Lenovo Yoga 6 better supports with its superior coverage of color gamuts such as DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB. However, neither laptop is ideal for gaming or 3D work, due to their lack of high refresh rate displays, which are essential for smooth motion and responsive gameplay, although resolution and panel type also have a significant impact on visual quality in these contexts.

The Dell Inspiron 14 7425 and Lenovo Yoga 6 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Dell Inspiron 14 7425 and the Lenovo Yoga 6 are considered fair for gaming and 3D because they both have integrated Vega 8 graphics, which can handle lighter gaming and 3D tasks. However, they have standard screen refresh rates of 60Hz, which isn't ideal for high-speed gaming where higher refresh rates can provide smoother visuals. Their IPS displays with 1920 x 1200 resolutions offer decent screen quality for everyday use and some creative work, but they are not at the high end of screen performance found in more gaming-dedicated laptops.

How the Dell Inspiron 14 7425 and the Lenovo Yoga 6 compare to other laptops
"Overall, this Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 offers a lot to like, especially at its oft-discounted price of $800. It’s a sturdy laptop with strong performance, a convertible touchscreen, loud speakers, and a convenient fingerprint reader. But the trade-offs you’ll make in pursuit of that lower price—most notably the dim display and stiff trackpad—might just keep you from outright loving it."
"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."
