The Lenovo Yoga 6 offers a touchscreen and a higher battery capacity for longer usage between charges, which could be an advantage if you need to work on the go or prefer interactive tasks. On the other hand, the MSI Prestige 14, even though it lacks a touchscreen, has a slightly more color-accurate display and is a bit more lightweight, which may make it more convenient for travel. Both have similar storage and RAM, making them capable for general use and some engineering applications. Neither is built for intensive gaming, but they can handle light gaming and general productivity tasks well. If portability and screen color accuracy are top priorities, the MSI could be appealing, whereas if long battery life and a touchscreen are more important, you might lean towards the Lenovo.

The MSI Prestige 14 has a better screen than the Lenovo Yoga 6 for general use, and engineering and design.
For general use, the Lenovo Yoga 6 provides adequate sharpness and clarity which is fine for daily tasks, while the MSI Prestige 14's higher resolution and brightness levels make for a more vibrant and easy-to-view display. Engineering and design work, which require accurate color representation, are well-served by both laptops as they offer wide color gamuts, ensuring that the colors on the screen reflect real-life shades accurately. However, for the fast-paced visuals in gaming and running 3D applications, neither laptop is ideal due to their lower refresh rates which can make for less smooth on-screen motion.

The MSI Prestige 14 and Lenovo Yoga 6 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Lenovo Yoga 6 and MSI Prestige 14 are both fair for gaming and 3D applications mainly because they have adequate but not top-end GPUs, with the Yoga 6 having an AMD Vega 8 and the Prestige 14 featuring an Intel Iris Xe, and both have screen refresh rates capped at a standard 60Hz. Although both have capable CPUs, with the Yoga 6 powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 7730U and the Prestige 14 by an Intel i5-1240P, and offer good screen quality, their GPUs and refresh rates do not match the higher performance and smoother visuals offered by more advanced gaming laptops.

The MSI Prestige 14 and Lenovo Yoga 6 are both good for engineering and design.
The Lenovo Yoga 6 suits engineering and design use with its AMD Ryzen 7 CPU and integrated Vega GPU, which performs adequately for such tasks, alongside 16GB of RAM and a high-contrast, color-accurate touchscreen display. In contrast, the MSI Prestige 14 features an Intel i5 CPU with Iris Xe graphics, ample RAM, and a brighter screen with higher color coverage, making it equally viable for engineering and design work, with the added benefit of a lighter build and quieter operation, enhancing portability and comfort during long work sessions.

"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 MSI Prestige 14” is excellent for productivity and business use cases, but it is not ideal for creators or visual content editors. The Prestige was able to power through days of email, spreadsheets, and text documents without breaking a sweat and was a joy to use. The additional ports were a breath of fresh air, as most laptops seem to be moving towards just Thunderbolt ports. The security options made signing in effortless, with two quick, more secure, and faster options than even the most complex alphanumeric passcode."
