The HP Dragonfly Pro 14" is more expensive but offers slightly better build quality, keyboard, speakers, and webcam. The Lenovo Yoga 6 is less pricey, slightly lighter, and offers longer battery life. For general use, both are equipped with a good processor and RAM, but the HP might handle 3D/machine learning tasks and engineering software slightly more effectively due to a better GPU. Both have high-quality IPS touchscreens with the same resolution and size ratio, but the HP's screen may have a slight edge in color performance. If budget is a concern and you value longer battery life and portability, consider the Lenovo Yoga 6; for slightly better performance and screen quality, the HP Dragonfly Pro 14" is a solid choice.

The HP Dragonfly Pro 14" and Lenovo Yoga 6 are both good for engineering and design, though the HP Dragonfly Pro 14" is somewhat better.
The HP Dragonfly Pro 14" and Lenovo Yoga 6 both offer solid performance with their AMD Ryzen processors and integrated Radeon graphics; the Dragonfly shines with a slightly more powerful GPU and superior screen brightness for more vivid design works, while the Yoga's thin and light 2-in-1 design, along with a high-quality keyboard, makes it more suitable for on-the-go engineering tasks despite a more modest screen brightness and color coverage.

The HP Dragonfly Pro 14" has a better screen than the Lenovo Yoga 6 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The HP Dragonfly Pro likely has higher resolution and brightness, making it suitable for general use, while the color accuracy favors engineering and design, but the lower refresh rate hampers its gaming and 3D performance. The Lenovo Yoga 6, with fair screen attributes, suffices for general tasks and supports engineering with good color range, but similar to the HP, its lower refresh rate restricts 3D application enjoyment. Hence, the HP excels in visual clarity and design work, and while the Lenovo is adequate for everyday and professional tasks, neither is optimized for high-refresh-rate demands of gaming and 3D rendering.

The HP Dragonfly Pro 14" and Lenovo Yoga 6 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The HP Dragonfly Pro 14" and Lenovo Yoga 6 both offer GPUs that can handle casual gaming and some 3D work, but they may struggle with more demanding graphics tasks due to their integrated or entry-level dedicated GPUs.

"I’d say that the HP Dragonfly Pro checks off most of the boxes for this freelancer. It feels nice to use, is zippy and responsive, has great speakers, and even has a relatively sane price. Although it’s an unorthodox choice to pick AMD for this kind of machine, it’s clear that when Ryzen is given a chance to shine, it can kick a lot of butt."

"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."
