If portability and battery life are crucial for you, consider the LG Gram 16 as it's lighter and offers longer battery life. However, for tasks that require higher processing power and graphics, such as 3D rendering or engineering software, the Lenovo Yoga 6 with its AMD Ryzen processor might serve you better. Keep in mind the LG Gram has a larger, higher-resolution screen, but it does not support touchscreen input like the Yoga 6. Both laptops are well-suited for general use, but the Yoga 6 might offer a slight edge in performance for particular professional applications. The decision may also hinge on whether you prefer a touchscreen and a smaller form factor, which you get with the Yoga, versus a larger screen and potentially quieter operation with the LG Gram.

The LG Gram 16 has a better screen than the Lenovo Yoga 6 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, a laptop like the LG Gram 16 with a bright, high-resolution screen can offer a clear and vivid display, suitable for everyday tasks like browsing, video streaming, and document editing. When it comes to engineering and design, having a broader color gamut is crucial for accurate color work, and both the Lenovo Yoga 6 and the LG Gram 16 have good color reproduction, but the higher resolution of the LG Gram 16 may make fine details sharper. However, for gaming and 3D applications, the lower refresh rates of both laptops can make fast-paced visuals less smooth compared to laptops designed for gaming, which usually have higher refresh rates.

The LG Gram 16 and Lenovo Yoga 6 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Lenovo Yoga 6 and the LG Gram 16 both provide a decent experience for gaming and 3D applications due to their integrated GPUs, which are capable but not as powerful as dedicated gaming GPUs, and their standard screen refresh rates are adequate for casual gaming but might not be as smooth for fast-paced games. Additionally, while both laptops have capable main processors and high-quality screens, they lack the premium features of high-end gaming laptops, like advanced GPUs, higher screen refresh rates, and other gaming-specific additions.

How the Lenovo Yoga 6 and the LG Gram 16 compare to other laptops
"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."
"The LG Gram 16 is a lightweight device with stability issues. The LG Gram 16Z90Q with a Core i7-1260P is made with portability in mind and places less of a focus on users with high demands on performance. The compact and light chassis is particularly practical when you are on the go. The device is not only comfortably small and lightweight, it also boasts a great battery life. When connected to mains, on the other hand, the 16-inch device is rather disappointing. The standard cooling mode causes extreme volatility in terms of CPU, SSD and iGPU performance. The meager stability of the chassis may also put off some potential buyers."
