The Dell Inspiron 14 Plus is often somewhat more expensive and offers better performance for engineering tasks due to a more powerful Intel processor but is less portable with a shorter battery life. The Lenovo Yoga 6, often somewhat less expensive, has a touchscreen, better battery life, and is more portable with a slightly smaller screen, making it suitable for general use and mobility, yet it has less storage space and might lag behind in demanding engineering applications. Both have 16 GB of RAM and high-quality builds but choose based on your balance between performance needs and budget. Give Feedback

The Dell Inspiron 14 Plus and Lenovo Yoga 6 are both only fair for gaming and AI, though the Dell Inspiron 14 Plus is somewhat better.
The Dell Inspiron 14 Plus exceeds in gaming and 3D tasks due to its more capable Iris Xe graphics component while the Lenovo Yoga 6, with its Vega 8 graphics, provides a satisfactory experience but lacks the same performance level. Both laptops have similar screen refresh rates, but the superior GPU and overall screen quality of the Dell Inspiron make it the preferable option for these activities.

The Dell Inspiron 14 Plus has a better screen than the Lenovo Yoga 6 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The Dell Inspiron 14 Plus offers a high-resolution display, making it sharp and clear for general tasks, and with a panel that provides accurate colors crucial for engineering and design work. The Lenovo Yoga 6, while still presenting a decent resolution for everyday tasks, also supports a broad color palette needed for detailed design projects but, like the Inspiron, it doesn't deliver the high refresh rates desired for smooth 3D rendering and gaming. Both laptops might fall short for gaming and 3D tasks, where faster screen refresh is key to an immersive experience, but they excel in areas where color accuracy and crisp image display matter for professional and casual use.

The Dell Inspiron 14 Plus and Lenovo Yoga 6 are both good for general use.
The Dell Inspiron 14 Plus is equipped with a powerful CPU and ample RAM, making it highly capable for general use, and its superior screen quality provides vibrant visuals, but it offers less portability and a shorter battery life compared to its counterpart.

Allen Ngo | August 2022
"The Dell Inspiron 14 Plus is for power users on a budget. If you're looking to maximize CPU and GPU performance on your next 14-inch laptop, then consider the pricier Razer Blade 14 or Asus Zephyrus G14. If you're looking for a thin-and-light 14-inch Ultrabook, then the Asus Zenbook 14 or LG Gram 14 may be better options. For the best of both worlds, however, the Dell Inspiron 14 Plus 7420 rides a fine line between extreme performance and portability while keeping prices at reasonable levels. Frequent travelers who rely on performance beyond what the Core U-series and integrated graphics series can offer will find the Dell to be a solid solution."

"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."
