Our Verdict

Lenovo Yoga 6 13 (2023)

HP Pavilion Aero 13 (2024)

The HP Pavilion Aero 13 (2024) and Lenovo Yoga 6 13 (2023) are both 13-inch laptops. While the HP is an ultraportable with a traditional clamshell form factor, the Lenovo is a 2-in-1 convertible; they each have their pros and cons. The HP has faster hardware and comes with 16GB of faster LP-DDR5x RAM by default (you have to pay extra for 16GB with the Lenovo), making it the superior choice for more intensive tasks like programming. By contrast, the Lenovo has better build quality and can be used in tent mode for media consumption.
