If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Lenovo Yoga 6 is often significantly less expensive. It has a sturdy build and good performance for general use with a Ryzen processor and Vega 8 graphics, making it suitable for everyday tasks and casual gaming. The Yoga 6 is also slightly lighter and has a backlit keyboard which may enhance your typing experience in various lighting conditions. On the other hand, the Razer Book 13 costs more but offers a premium build quality, superior screen brightness, and higher color accuracy, which is beneficial for tasks where color fidelity is critical. The Book 13 also has a slightly longer battery life, which, alongside a higher score in keyboard quality, could enhance your on-the-go experience and daily work sessions. For intensive tasks like 3D rendering, machine learning, or engineering, neither laptop stands out as a powerhouse, but both are capable of handling moderate workloads. If portability and battery life are important, the Razer Book 13 may be more suitable, while the Lenovo Yoga 6 is a more cost-effective choice for general use without compromising too much on performance.

The Razer Book 13 has a better screen than the Lenovo Yoga 6 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
If you prioritize a sharp, vivid display for everyday tasks like browsing and watching videos, both the Lenovo Yoga 6 and the Razer Book 13 offer satisfying visuals thanks to their resolutions and brightness levels. However, professionals in engineering and design may prefer the Razer Book 13 as it generally presents a wider color range, crucial for accuracy in color-sensitive work. On the other hand, gamers and those involved in 3D modeling will find both models less ideal due to their lower refresh rates, although resolution and screen technology are adequate for moderate use in these fields.

The Razer Book 13 and Lenovo Yoga 6 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Lenovo Yoga 6 is fair for gaming and 3D because it has an integrated AMD Ryzen GPU, which is decent for light gaming but may struggle with demanding games, and a standard screen refresh rate of 60Hz, which doesn't allow for high-frame rate gaming.

The Razer Book 13 and Lenovo Yoga 6 are both good for engineering and design.
The Lenovo Yoga 6 is suitable for engineering and design due to its capable AMD Ryzen 7 CPU with integrated Vega 8 graphics and a high-contrast IPS touchscreen, while the Razer Book 13's Intel i7 CPU with Iris Xe graphics and a brighter, high-contrast IPS touchscreen make it equally adept for such tasks. Both offer solid performance with adequate RAM, but the Razer Book 13 may edge out with a more portable and quieter design, as well as a higher-quality keyboard which could be significant for long work sessions.

How the Lenovo Yoga 6 and the Razer Book 13 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."
"The Razer Book is like an XPS 13, but faster. The Book 13 combines the design philosophy and performance of a Blade Stealth with the 16:10 display of a Dell XPS 13 for an impressive piece of hardware. Office users who want something more stylish than the typical Dell, HP or Lenovo will certainly find themselves drawn to this Razer subnotebook. If your priorities are to have the best-looking and fastest 13-inch laptop in the office over auxiliary features, however, then the Book 13 proudly fulfills that niche."
