The Lenovo Yoga 6 offers a touch screen and a backlit keyboard with white lighting, making it useful for tablet mode and working in dim conditions. However, the LG Ultra 16 has a larger screen, higher battery capacity for extended usage away from a power source, and better heat management including a fanless, silent operation. Both laptops are similarly priced and feature the same main processor and GPU, suited for general use and some engineering tasks, but not intensive gaming. Choose the Lenovo Yoga 6 for portability and tablet functionality or the LG Ultra 16 for a larger screen and longer battery life. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Yoga 6 has a better screen than the LG Ultra 16 for general use, and engineering and design.
The Lenovo Yoga 6 offers a balance of resolution and brightness that satisfies everyday tasks, but for engineering and design, its ability to display a wide range of colors stands out, although it falls short for gaming and 3D due to a lower refresh rate. The LG Ultra 16, while having adequate brightness and resolution for daily activities, doesn't offer the same color range, making it less optimal for professional design work, and like the Yoga, its refresh rate isn't high enough for the smooth visuals demanded by gamers and 3D applications. In both cases, users needing a laptop for general or engineering tasks may find these models suitable, but those interested in gaming or 3D work should consider alternatives with higher refresh rates and potentially better resolution and panel technology.

The LG Ultra 16 and Lenovo Yoga 6 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Lenovo Yoga 6 and the LG Ultra 16 are considered fair for gaming and 3D due to their identical main processors and integrated Vega 8 graphics, which are moderate in performance but don't match dedicated gaming GPUs, and they both have a standard 60Hz screen refresh rate. While the Yoga 6 has a slightly better screen quality, the Ultra 16 boasts a larger screen and better battery life, but neither excels in the very important factors for high-end gaming or demanding 3D tasks.

How the Lenovo Yoga 6 and the LG Ultra 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."
"Unlike the gram, the Ultra PC isn't designed to be as lightweight as possible. The 16-inch laptop is a whole 400 g (0.88 lb) heavier than its 16-inch gram counterpart partly because its chassis is not made of magnesium. Other than that, the Ultra PC seems like a copy of the gram – but with longer battery life, lower noise levels, and a clean, delicate look."
