The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 and ASUS ROG Strix G15 are both good for gaming and AI, though the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is somewhat better.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15, equipped with a stronger Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti graphics card, excels at gaming and 3D applications compared to the ASUS ROG Strix G15's Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti, offering higher performance despite both having high-quality screens, with the former sporting an OLED display versus the latter's IPS panel. Even though the ROG Strix G15 offers a higher screen refresh rate, which is better for fast-paced gaming, the ZenBook Pro Duo 15 compensates with a far superior screen quality, including resolution and color accuracy, alongside a more powerful central processing unit.

The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is excellent for engineering and design, while the ASUS ROG Strix G15 is good.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 stands out for engineering and design due to its superior main processor, double the RAM, and a more powerful GPU, paired with a higher-resolution OLED screen that will deliver clearer and more vivid visuals. In contrast, the ASUS ROG Strix G15, while still capable with its AMD Ryzen 9 processor and RTX 3050 Ti GPU, offers lower screen quality and less RAM, which may not be as optimal for highly demanding engineering applications.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo 15 has a better screen than the ASUS ROG Strix G15 for general use, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The ASUS ROG Strix G15 offers a satisfactory balance of resolution and brightness for daily tasks but lacks the high refresh rates desired for smooth gaming and 3D applications. The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 provides a high-resolution display that excels in brightness and color range, making it ideal for professionals in engineering and design but, similar to the G15, falls short in refresh rate, which is a key feature for gaming and 3D visuals. Consequently, both systems suit general productivity and specialized work that demands color accuracy but may disappoint avid gamers or 3D artists seeking fluid motion graphics.

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."

"Benchmarks aside, the Asus ZenBook Pro Duo is hard to compare with other PCs. Its closest competition may be a multi-monitor desktop, or a laptop with an attached travel monitor. The Pro Duo is more portable and versatile than either of those options, especially with the software tools Asus has thrown on top. For a certain niche of artists, media creators, and gamers, all that might add up to something special, even if it’s unattainable for the rest of us."
