If you prioritize gaming, 3D rendering, or machine learning tasks and don't mind a heavier laptop with shorter battery life, the Lenovo LOQ 15 with its dedicated Nvidia GPU will better suit your needs. Conversely, if you desire portability, longer battery life, and a touchscreen with a higher resolution in a 16:10 aspect ratio, the Lenovo Yoga 6 might be a better fit, although it will not perform as well in graphically intensive applications due to its integrated graphics.

The Lenovo LOQ 15 has a better screen than the Lenovo Yoga 6 for general use, and gaming and AI.
The Lenovo LOQ 15 offers a high-resolution display with vivid colors and brightness suitable for everyday tasks, making it ideal for general use and detailed engineering work; however, its slower refresh rate hampers the quality for gaming and 3D applications. In contrast, the Lenovo Yoga 6's screen, while not as bright or high in resolution, still provides accurate color representation critical for engineering and design but falls short in providing an optimal gaming experience due to its fair overall quality and subpar refresh rate. Both laptops have panels with color qualities that work well for creating and editing visual content but lack the rapid display response necessary for immersive gaming.

How the Lenovo LOQ 15 and the Lenovo Yoga 6 compare to other laptops
"Even after a short time with the LOQ 15, you'll find it has a lot going for it, but ultimately it's just "good"—not quite a star. The performance is respectable for the hardware it’s running, but Lenovo had to make some design sacrifices to trim the price. One of the better aspects is the keyboard, making it one of the better low-cost gaming laptops to actually put your hands on."
"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."
