Choosing between the Dell Inspiron 16 5620 and the Lenovo Yoga 6 depends on your priorities. The Dell Inspiron provides a larger screen which may be more suitable for multitasking and productivity tasks, but it is slightly heavier and thicker, affecting portability. The Lenovo Yoga 6, on the other hand, offers a smaller but touchscreen display, potentially enhancing interactivity, especially for creative tasks. It is lighter and has a longer battery life, making it more convenient for travel. Both have the same storage and memory, but the Lenovo Yoga has a slightly better processor, which may translate to improved performance in demanding applications. The Lenovo tends to be more expensive, but it also includes a 360-degree hinge for versatile use as a tablet or viewing stand. Consider if portability, touchscreen functionality, and a convertible form factor justify the higher price of the Lenovo Yoga 6 over the larger-screened, more budget-friendly Dell Inspiron.

The Lenovo Yoga 6 has a better screen than the Dell Inspiron 16 5620 for general use, and engineering and design.
If you prioritize vibrant, accurate colors and detailed visuals for tasks like photo editing or graphic design, the Lenovo Yoga 6 might be the better pick due to its superior color coverage, which is crucial for engineering and design work.

"If the world is exciting enough right now, you can do far worse than a solid performer that you know will get the job done. Our review model is as powerful as you'd want an office machine to be unless you're performing specialist tasks and the price point is pretty attractive (unless work will let you have a MacBook Air instead)."

"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."
