If your main activities include gaming or intensive graphics work, the ASUS ROG Strix G15 with its dedicated Nvidia RTX graphics card can offer you better performance. However, the Zenbook Duo has a higher resolution screen, longer battery life, and weighs less, making it more suitable for travel and for tasks like writing or web browsing. It also has a unique dual-screen feature which could be useful for multitasking. On the other hand, the Strix G15 has greater storage capacity. Both have the same amount of RAM, but the Zenbook Duo has newer technology with a more recent processor and a touchscreen. Consider the Strix G15 if gaming or graphic design is a priority and you don't mind the extra weight and shorter battery life. Go for the Zenbook Duo if you need a portable laptop with a high-quality screen and longer battery endurance for general use and multitasking. Give Feedback

Marius Schell | February 2021
"The ASUS ROG Strix G15 is a successful high-performance 15-inch laptop. The Asus ROG Strix impresses with an elaborate design and fast hardware. The latter can unleash its potential well in the large 15-inch case and achieve a decent performance boost compared to the previous generation. Especially the stunning 300 Hz display as well as the RTX 3070 and its generous TDP give gamers their money's worth. Asus didn't neglect seemingly small details, either, such as the keyboard and the maintenance options. The ROG Strix G15 offers a lot of pure performance and excellent workmanship in a 15-inch format, but connectivity leaves something to be desired."

"The Asus ZenBook Duo's second screen is like the Apple Touch Bar, but better. Most would agree that having two screens instead of one can really boost productivity and the ZenBook Duo is no different in this regard. It's tough going back to just one screen after becoming accustomed to spacious dual-screen setups. For a laptop form factor, however, users will have to accept some compromises. Firstly, weight is the most obvious drawback as the system is several hundred grams heavier than a regular ZenBook 14. Additionally, colors on the second screen will not be as vivid as the main display."
