Considering the Dell Inspiron 14 7435 and Lenovo Yoga 6, both are 2-in-1 convertibles with similar performance for general use, as they share the same type of processor and graphics. The Dell is usually more expensive, has a larger screen, and is slightly heavier, which might affect portability if you move around often. The Lenovo, being less expensive and lighter, is more portable but comes with half the storage and a smaller screen. For tasks like 3D work or machine learning, neither may excel, but for general productivity and light gaming, they're comparable. The difference in battery life is minimal, so choose based on your budget, need for screen size, portability preferences, and storage requirements. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Yoga 6 has a better screen than the Dell Inpsiron 14 7435 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
For general use, both the Dell Inspiron 14 7435 and Lenovo Yoga 6 offer fair screen quality as they provide adequate resolution and brightness, but might not have the most vibrant panel types. The Lenovo Yoga 6 stands out for engineering and design due to its better coverage of color gamuts like DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB, ensuring more accurate color representation which is crucial for professional design work. However, for gaming and 3D applications, both laptops are less ideal as they have lower refresh rates, which can result in less smooth visuals, although their resolutions and panel types are acceptable for casual use.

The Dell Inpsiron 14 7435 and Lenovo Yoga 6 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Dell Inspiron 14 7435 and the Lenovo Yoga 6 are both fair for gaming and 3D because they share identical GPUs and CPUs that provide moderate gaming performance and have the same screen refresh rate, which is suitable but not ideal for fast-paced games. Both have IPS screens with decent resolution and quality, but neither excels in the very important factors of GPU and refresh rate for intensive gaming, making them fair but not outstanding in this aspect.

How the Dell Inpsiron 14 7435 and the Lenovo Yoga 6 compare to other laptops
"We see no shame in an economy laptop missing the four-star mark. Frankly, we considered giving the Inspiron 14 2-in-1 three-and-a-half stars for its low price, competitive performance, and long battery life. Unfortunately, working with a screen that can't deliver at least 300 nits of brightness is simply no fun to the point of detrimental. Still, if you're looking for a convertible laptop on a tight budget, it's worth keeping an eye on Dell's sales and discounts. That Lavender Blue model is fairly tempting."
"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."
