If you value higher performance for intensive tasks like engineering or 3D work, the Lenovo Yoga 6 with its stronger processor and more RAM may be a better fit, despite being slightly more expensive. It also has a higher battery capacity and a touchscreen, which is advantageous for interactive tasks and mobility. On the other hand, the HP 14" Laptop is less expensive and might be better suited for general use due to its adequate processor and sufficient RAM for everyday tasks. The HP is somewhat lighter and has a larger screen, but the Lenovo offers better portability with a smaller form factor and longer battery life, which can be more convenient for on-the-go use. The Lenovo also has superior color coverage, potentially making it a better choice for tasks that need accurate color reproduction, like photo editing. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Yoga 6 has a better screen than the HP 14" Laptop for general use, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, the HP's moderate resolution and brightness make it adequate for everyday activities like browsing and video streaming, but it might not offer the crispness and visibility in brighter environments compared to higher-end displays.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Lenovo Yoga 6 to be only fair for gaming and AI, while the HP 14" Laptop is poor.
The HP 14" Laptop is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 5 and Vega 7 graphics, which supports casual gaming, but its standard 60Hz screen refresh rate limits high-level gameplay smoothness. Conversely, the Lenovo Yoga 6, with a slightly stronger AMD Ryzen 7 and Vega 8 graphics, also has a standard refresh rate of 60Hz, offering fair gaming capabilities, but it also provides a touchscreen, enhancing the overall experience for gaming and 3D applications.

Consumer Reports
Nicholas De Leon | October 2022
"This feels like an ideal laptop for someone who doesn’t want to spend a lot of money on a laptop and isn’t too bothered by things like build quality or construction. It’s a laptop that will be used to pay bills, keep track of expenses, do some online shopping, and will be tucked away in a spare bedroom/home office. It’s an appliance designed to do a job without fuss. It’s not a premium experience—the materials do feel a little cheap, the display won’t exactly wow you, and the battery life is nothing to write home about, especially if you’ve used more expensive devices. But overall it’s not too shabby, especially for the price."

"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."
