If you prioritize longer battery life and more storage, as well as a more portable and lighter device with a higher resolution screen, the Lenovo Yoga 6 would be a favorable choice. On the other hand, the HP Envy x360 15" offers a larger screen and better general use performance, which could be preferable if you're looking for a laptop that feels more like a traditional laptop and you're okay with it being slightly heavier and having less battery life and storage. Choosing the Lenovo may cost a bit more, but it offers better screen quality and slightly higher performance for tasks like 3D rendering or machine learning. Give Feedback

How the HP Envy x360 15" and the Lenovo Yoga 6 compare to other laptops
"Despite its good looks, stellar webcam and comfortable keyboard, the Envy x360 15 is hard to recommend because of its dim, 16:9 display. If the display isn't an issue for you, just be sure to wait for a good sale price. Otherwise, a more modern two-in-one with a 16:10 display such as the Dell Inspiron 16 2-in-1 or Lenovo Yoga 7i 16 provides a larger workspace without adding much to the size and weight of the system."
"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."
