The Lenovo Yoga 6 is a versatile 2-in-1 convertible laptop that can function as both a laptop and a tablet, suitable for general users who appreciate flexibility and moderate performance. It comes with an AMD Ryzen 7 processor with integrated Vega 8 graphics, 16 GB of RAM, and 512 GB of storage, which should handle everyday tasks and light engineering work well. The Yoga 6's 13.3-inch IPS touchscreen with a 1920 x 1200 resolution offers good screen colors and is comfortable to use for general purposes. Its lower midrange price makes it an economical option considering its capabilities. A backlit keyboard and fingerprint reader add to its practical features. However, it is not the top choice for intensive gaming or complex 3D/machine learning tasks due to the integrated graphics. With over 12 hours of battery life, a weight of just over 3 pounds, and a solid build quality, it is also quite portable. Give Feedback

Engineering & Design:4.0
The Lenovo Yoga 6 is well-suited for engineering and design due to its powerful AMD Ryzen 7 processor and ample 16GB of RAM, which can handle demanding applications and multitasking. Additionally, its high-quality IPS screen with good color accuracy makes it excellent for detail-oriented design work and its convertible 2-in-1 form factor adds versatility for different working conditions.
General Use Screen Quality:3.9
The general use screen score is based on the screen technology, contrast ratio, resolution, brightness, color gamut and color accuracy. This score does not take into account specialized display features for specific use cases, such as high refresh rate for gaming.

Mario Petzold | March 2023
"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."
