The Dell Latitude 5431 offers a larger screen, a number pad on the keyboard, and is more geared towards professional business use with features like higher durability and Windows 11 Pro. It is a bit heavier and larger, making it less ideal if portability is a priority. The Lenovo Yoga 6 is less expensive, offers a touchscreen with a higher resolution and aspect ratio for more vertical space, is lighter, and has a longer battery life, making it better for on-the-go use and media consumption. However, it runs Windows 11 Home, which is less feature-rich than the Pro version. If intensive engineering tasks or gaming are important, neither are particularly geared towards these activities, but they can handle general use and light 3D tasks well. The choice depends on whether you prioritize portability and battery life or screen size and professional features. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Yoga 6 has a better screen than the Dell Latitude 5431 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
The Dell Latitude 5431 offers a display that does well for everyday tasks due to its satisfactory panel type, resolution, and brightness, but it may fall short for engineering and design needs because of limited color range coverage, and it's less suited for gaming and 3D due to a modest refresh rate. The Lenovo Yoga 6, while also providing an adequate display for everyday use, steps up in appeal for engineering and design users with better color accuracy and a wider color gamut, ensuring more precise hues and shades vital for detailed work. However, similar to the Dell, the Yoga 6 isn't tailored for gaming or 3D applications, as its refresh rate isn't high enough to deliver the smooth motion visuals these tasks typically require.

The Dell Latitude 5431 and Lenovo Yoga 6 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
Both the Dell Latitude 5431 and the Lenovo Yoga 6 are rated fair for gaming and 3D because they have integrated graphics - the Dell with Intel i5-1250P Iris Xe and the Lenovo with AMD Ryzen 7 7730U Vega 8 - which can handle light gaming but may struggle with more intensive 3D tasks. Additionally, while both have decent screen quality, their refresh rates are capped at 60Hz, which is adequate for casual gaming but not ideal for fast-paced games that benefit from higher refresh rates.

Mario Petzold | March 2023
"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."
