The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is very good for general use, while the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024) is good.
The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 offers powerful CPU and RAM, ensuring smooth multitasking and high performance for demanding applications, while its high screen quality enhances visual experience, but its gaming-oriented design may trade off some battery life and portability compared to more compact laptops.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 Duo has a better screen than the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
If you prioritize sharp and clear visuals for tasks like web browsing or document editing, both the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 and ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo display crisp images and vibrant colors due to their high resolution and panel quality.

How the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024) and the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo compare to other laptops
"The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 offers an impressive package. Asus improves the performance of the new 2023 ROG Zephyrus G14 considerable and offers a very powerful 14-inch notebook with plenty of performance for gamers and content creators. The high-quality chassis is unchanged from last year, but is now equipped with the latest and greatest from AMD as well as Nvidia. The Mini-LED panel also puts up a convincing performance in pretty much every regard, even though the MacBook Pro 14 still offers superior brightness values. The panel works extremely well for gaming and the included color profiles offer very accurate colors."
"The Zenbook Pro 14 Duo OLED is a well-tuned instrument for content creators, excelling at a range of general office tasks as well as tasks that require a little more grunt like encoding and 3D rendering. The big attraction is the laptop’s dual displays. They’re the best ones we’ve used in an Asus Zenbook Duo laptop to date with a spate of year-on-year improvements that make the visuals more striking and the cross-screen integration easier than ever before."
