The Dell Inspiron 16 5625 offers a larger screen size and higher brightness, making it more suitable for users who prioritize a bigger display and work in well-lit environments. However, the Lenovo Yoga 6 has a longer battery life and higher portability due to its smaller size and lighter weight, which may appeal more to users who need to use their laptop on the go. Both laptops have similar storage, RAM, and performance scores for general use, engineering, and 3D/machine learning tasks, but the Yoga 6 edges ahead slightly in general use performance. The Yoga 6 also features a fingerprint reader and offers better heat management and quieter fan operation. If affordability is a concern, the Yoga 6 may generally be slightly less expensive.

The Lenovo Yoga 6 has a better screen than the Dell Inspiron 16 5625 for general use, and engineering and design.
The Dell Inspiron 16 5625 has fair screen quality for general use due to adequate resolution and brightness, but lacks the superior color accuracy needed for engineering and the high refresh rate desired for gaming. The Lenovo Yoga 6, with fair screen quality for general use, stands out for engineering and design thanks to its better color gamut coverage, ensuring more precise color representation, yet it falls short for gaming as its refresh rate isn't geared towards the high frame rates gamers seek. For both laptops, their screen capabilities align with general usage and professional design work but aren't ideal for the fast-paced visuals required in gaming and 3D applications.

How the Dell Inspiron 16 5625 and the Lenovo Yoga 6 compare to other laptops
"I think there is fair value in the Inspiron 16 this year. Very little has changed with the laptop and my opinion hasn’t really changed either. In other words, I like it. Overall, I think the pros far outweigh the cons of this laptop and the price is certainly justifiable. I found this to be a great typer and I could potentially work all day on this machine, provided I don’t need a graphics card."
"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."
