The MSI Stealth GS66 has a better screen than the Lenovo Yoga 6 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
The Lenovo Yoga 6, with its fair screen resolution and brightness, offers adequate visual comfort for everyday tasks and productivity applications but may lack the vibrancy for more demanding visual content. For engineering and design professionals, the screen's color accuracy and range, encompassing decent coverage of color gamuts like DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB, make it suitable for detailed work. However, due to its lower refresh rate, the Yoga 6 falls short for gaming and 3D modeling, where smoother motion and faster screen updates are essential.

The MSI Stealth GS66 and Lenovo Yoga 6 are both good for general use.
The Lenovo Yoga 6 is well-suited for general use with its AMD Ryzen 7 processor, 16 GB of RAM, and high-quality IPS touchscreen that offers flexibility as both a laptop and tablet, coupled with good battery life and portability due to its smaller screen size and light weight. The MSI Stealth GS66, while also suitable for general use with the same amount of RAM and a robust Intel i7 processor, leans more towards performance-oriented tasks with its powerful Nvidia RTX graphics card, and though it has a larger and faster screen, it offers lower battery life and is less portable due to its greater weight.

"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 Stealth GS66 is powerful enough for QHD. The Core i7-12700H and the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti found in the 12UGS model that we tested run all modern games smoothly in the native QHD resolution. The 15-inch display is very fast with its 240 Hz refresh rate, and it also offers a great color space (almost 100% DCI-P3) on top of that, which should please gamers as well as content creators, although we would have still wished for a higher brightness. Case, input devices, and connectivity (Thunderbolt 4) are at a good level. However, among other things, the GS66 loses points due to the high temperature development in 3D mode and its poor webcam."
