The Lenovo Yoga 6 is good for engineering and design, while the Dell Latitude 14 7490 is only fair.
The Lenovo Yoga 6 outperforms the Dell Latitude 14 7490 in engineering and design use primarily due to its newer and more capable integrated graphics in the AMD Ryzen 7 processor, compared to the older Intel UHD Graphics in the Dell which are less suited for graphics-intensive tasks. Additionally, the Lenovo Yoga 6 has a higher resolution and aspect ratio, which can be beneficial for design work, although the Dell's larger screen could be a factor to consider for visibility and screen real estate.

The Lenovo Yoga 6 has a better screen than the Dell Latitude 14 7490 for content creation, and software development.
For general use, both the Dell Latitude 14 7490 and the Lenovo Yoga 6 offer screens with adequate resolution and brightness, but they may not have the color accuracy or the advanced panel types that provide the best visual experience. When focusing on engineering and design, these laptops have good color coverage, which is crucial for accurately rendering designs, but they may still fall short for professionals who need the top-tier color precision offered by higher-end displays. For gaming and 3D applications, the lower refresh rates on these laptops mean motion might not appear as smooth, and while the resolution and panel types are suitable for many tasks, dedicated gaming laptops would offer a better overall visual experience for these activities.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Lenovo Yoga 6 to be only fair for gaming and AI, while the Dell Latitude 14 7490 is poor.
The Dell Latitude 14 7490 is equipped with an Intel UHD Graphics 620 integrated GPU and has a 60Hz screen refresh rate, which limits gaming and 3D performance. Similarly, the Lenovo Yoga 6 uses an integrated AMD Ryzen 7 7730U Vega 8 GPU with the same 60Hz refresh rate, sharing the same limitations for gaming and 3D applications.

"The Dell Latitude 7490's got the speed you need (and then some), a keyboard that's comfortable enough for writing all day long and a battery that supports a full 8-hour workday. If only the display were brighter and it managed heat better. If you need every minute of battery life you can get, the extended-battery version of the Lenovo ThinkPad T480 lasts 8 hours longer than the Latitude 7490, but its display is much less colorful."

"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."
