If you need a laptop for general use, and portability and battery life are essential to you, the Lenovo Yoga 6 can be a smart choice with its lower cost. However, if you require a laptop for more intensive tasks such as gaming, 3D rendering, or engineering software, the MSI Stealth GS77 offers better performance with a faster processor and high-end graphics, but it is less portable and more expensive. The MSI laptop also has a larger, higher-resolution screen, which can be better for multitasking and media consumption but contributes to it being heavier and having shorter battery life compared to the Lenovo.

The MSI Stealth GS77 is very good for general use, while the Lenovo Yoga 6 is good.
The Lenovo Yoga 6, with its lighter weight and longer battery life, is suitable for general use where portability and convenience are key, complemented by a high-quality touchscreen display for versatile interactions. On the other hand, the MSI Stealth GS77, while less portable due to its weight, offers a larger and higher resolution screen, more powerful CPU and RAM, and superior gaming capabilities—factors which contribute to its very good rating for general use, despite the shorter battery life.

The MSI Stealth GS77 is good for gaming and AI, while the Lenovo Yoga 6 is only fair.
The Lenovo Yoga 6 with an integrated AMD Vega 8 graphics unit and a 60Hz display is adequate for less demanding gaming and 3D tasks, while the MSI Stealth GS77, equipped with a superior Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti dedicated graphics card and a higher 240Hz screen refresh rate, excels in rendering more complex graphics quickly, making it very suitable for high-end gaming and intensive 3D applications.

The MSI Stealth GS77 is very good for engineering and design, while the Lenovo Yoga 6 is good.
The MSI Stealth GS77 outshines the Lenovo Yoga 6 in engineering and design use primarily due to its more robust Intel i7 processor, double the RAM, and a far superior Nvidia RTX GPU, which together offer significantly greater computing and graphical performance, necessary for demanding engineering software. While the Lenovo Yoga 6 offers the flexibility of a 2-in-1 design and is more lightweight, the MSI's larger, higher-resolution screen and advanced hardware make it a better fit for intensive design tasks and renderings at the cost of reduced portability and battery life.

If you prioritize vibrant, accurate colors for tasks like photo editing or graphic design, the Lenovo Yoga 6 with its good color gamut coverage will satisfy. Meanwhile, the MSI Stealth GS77 offers similar color precision with a higher-resolution display, making it more suitable for detailed engineering work. However, for gaming and 3D applications, neither laptop is ideal due to their lower refresh rates, which can limit the smoothness of fast-moving visuals.

"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."

Allen Ngo | April 2022
"The MSI Stealth GS77 is better than the GS76... mostly. The GS77 is a few steps forward and a few steps back from the GS76. Improvements are numerous including the stronger and more rigid skeleton, higher resolution webcam, larger clickpad, easier serviceability, relatively similar battery runtimes, newer display options, and higher performance at about the same TDP and TGP levels as before. CPU performance is better than expected even when compared to other laptops with Core i7 or Core i9 processors. The newer model feels more substantial than the outgoing one for higher quality impressions as well."
