If you prioritize a larger screen and more power for tasks like video editing or software development, the Dell Inspiron 16 5630 could serve you well, especially if you are okay with a bit more weight and size for travel. However, if portability is crucial and you'd like a device that's versatile, with touchscreen capabilities for art or note-taking, the Lenovo Yoga 6 may be the better option, even at a slightly higher cost, while still offering decent performance for everyday tasks. Keep in mind, the Yoga 6's smaller screen size could be limiting if you often work with multiple windows or large spreadsheets. Give Feedback

The Dell Inspiron 16 5630 is very good for general use, while the Lenovo Yoga 6 is good.
The Dell Inspiron 16 5630 offers stronger CPU performance and a larger, higher-resolution screen which enhances multitasking and media consumption, making it very good for general use, but it is less portable and has a shorter battery life than the Lenovo Yoga 6. The Lenovo Yoga 6, while still good for general use due to its competent CPU and ample RAM, emphasizes portability and longer battery life, and its 2-in-1 convertible feature allows for versatile use as both a laptop and tablet.

The Dell Inspiron 16 5630 and Lenovo Yoga 6 are both good for engineering and design, though the Dell Inspiron 16 5630 is somewhat better.
The Dell Inspiron 16 5630, with its larger screen and high-performance Intel CPU and integrated Iris Xe GPU, is better suited for design and engineering tasks that benefit from a bigger display and strong processor for complex computations, but it is less portable and heavier than the Lenovo Yoga 6. The Lenovo Yoga 6, although it has a smaller screen and less powerful AMD CPU and integrated Vega 8 GPU, is highly portable and versatile with a touchscreen and 2-in-1 convertible design, catering to engineers and designers who value flexibility and the ability to sketch or annotate designs directly on the screen.

The Dell Inspiron 16 5630 has a better screen than the Lenovo Yoga 6 for general use, software development, and content creation.
For general use, the Inspiron's high resolution and bright display enhance readability and clarity, making it suitable for everyday tasks, while the Yoga's slightly lower brightness and resolution make it adequate but not exceptional. In engineering and design, both laptops offer good color accuracy and range, supporting detailed work where color representation is vital. However, for gaming and 3D applications, the lower refresh rates of both models lead to less fluid visuals, making them less ideal for fast-paced, graphically demanding environments.

The Dell Inspiron 16 5630 and Lenovo Yoga 6 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Dell Inspiron 16 5630 is equipped with an Intel i7-1360P Iris Xe GPU and a standard screen refresh rate, while the Lenovo Yoga 6 sports an AMD Ryzen 7 7730U Vega 8 GPU with the same level of refresh rate; both sets of GPUs and screen specs provide a fair experience for gaming and 3D applications. However, factors like the CPU and screen quality, which are important to consider, are fairly matched in both laptops, with the Inspiron offering Intel performance and a wider 16-inch screen, and the Yoga 6 offering AMD performance with a smaller, more portable 13.3-inch screen that also functions as a touchscreen.

"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."
