If you prioritize top performance for tasks like gaming or heavy engineering software, the Lenovo Legion 7i Pro stands out with its powerful processor and graphics card, although it's more expensive and heavier, making it less portable, and has a shorter battery life. On the other hand, the Lenovo Yoga 6 offers touchscreen functionality, longer battery life, and is lighter, which favors everyday use and portability, but it won't handle intensive tasks as well due to its less powerful hardware, yet it comes at a lower cost. Consider what your daily needs are and whether they lean more towards high performance or mobility and battery life when making your decision. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is excellent for engineering and design, while the Lenovo Yoga 6 is good.
The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i, equipped with a high-end CPU, ample RAM, and a powerful GPU, offers robust performance for demanding engineering applications, along with a high-quality screen for precise design work. In contrast, the Lenovo Yoga 6, while still capable for engineering tasks, trades some of the Pro 7i's raw power and display fidelity for increased portability and a more versatile form factor.

The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i has a better screen than the Lenovo Yoga 6 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The Lenovo Legion Pro 7i likely features a high-resolution display with excellent color accuracy, making it ideal for engineering and design tasks that depend on precise color representation, but its refresh rate might be lower, thus less suitable for gaming where high refresh rates are crucial. The Lenovo Yoga 6, while offering reasonable resolution and brightness suitable for general everyday tasks, may not cover the high-end color gamuts necessary for professional design work and similarly falls short for gaming due to an inadequate refresh rate. Both models would offer varied experiences across the board, with trade-offs between color fidelity for productivity, the sharpness and clarity for general use, and smoothness for gaming visuals.

"Passionate gamers who want to play demanding modern titles with maximum details and don't mind spending the moolah will find the Lenovo Legion 7 Pro to be the right choice. The bright, sharp, and color-accurate 16:10 QHD 240 Hz display makes for an immersive viewing experience. The hardware is housed in a stylish chassis that feels premium and scores well in terms of workmanship and stability. Other aspects such as sound quality, input devices, and connectivity also seem to be near-perfect."
"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."
