Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Lenovo Yoga 6 to be good for engineering and design, while the XPG Xenia 14 is only fair.
The Lenovo Yoga 6 with its AMD processor and integrated Vega GPU excels in screen quality and battery life, offering vivid colors and making it suitable for design tasks while providing flexibility as a 2-in-1 convertible. The XPG Xenia 14, while lighter and more portable due to its thinner design and substantially lighter weight, features an Intel processor with an Iris Xe GPU and slightly better screen resolution and brightness, which together with its high-quality keyboard enhances the engineering and design experience.

How the Lenovo Yoga 6 and the XPG Xenia 14 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 Xenia 14 is a top 14-inch laptop under 1 kg. ADATA isn't exactly known for its laptops and so we weren't expecting much from its first 14-inch Ultrabook. With that said, we're pleasantly surprised by how well the Xenia 14 looks and performs. Not only is it incredibly light, but it has a color accurate 16:10 display, high CPU and GPU performance, easy RAM and SSD serviceability, plenty of port options including Thunderbolt 4, and long battery life. It packs a lot of punch and features considering the size and weight to be better than even the LG Gram series."
