Choosing between the Lenovo Yoga 6 and the LG Gram 17 involves considering how you'll use the laptop. The Lenovo is more affordable with a strong battery life, suitable for general use, and its compact size enhances portability. Its performance is adequate for day-to-day activities and light engineering tasks but may not handle intensive 3D or machine learning projects effectively. The LG Gram 17, while pricier, offers a larger screen, higher resolution, and a more powerful processor, which means it performs better for engineering and creative tasks. Despite its bigger screen, it remains surprisingly lightweight, though it may not be as convenient to carry around as the Lenovo. Both have excellent build quality and efficient heat management, but the LG has a higher quality display for color work, and it's more equipped for heavier workloads due to its better overall performance scores.

The LG Gram 17 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, the Lenovo Yoga 6 and LG Gram 17 both provide sufficient resolution and brightness, with the Gram's larger screen offering more workspace and comfort for everyday tasks. In engineering and design, while both laptops cover a broad range of colors, the LG Gram's larger screen may make detailed work more visible and potentially improve color accuracy due to its size. However, for gaming and 3D applications, both laptops fall short as they lack the high refresh rates required for smooth motion rendering, which is crucial for immersive and responsive experiences in fast-paced visual environments.

"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 17 is a light office laptop with a large display and great battery life. The newest incarnation of the Gram 17 can be classified as a model update. LG uses the predecessor's compact, light magnesium case along with an identical port configuration (including 2x Thunderbolt 4) and keyboard. Changes can be found in the hardware. With the Gram 17 (2022), LG offers a light (approx. 1,350 g), mobile work device - and finally with a matte display."
