The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 is a stronger choice for intense gaming and 3D or machine learning tasks due to its powerful graphics card and processor. It also has longer battery life. The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo, with its high-resolution OLED touchscreen and superior color accuracy, is more suited for creative work like video or photo editing. It offers more memory, which can help with multitasking and complex software operations. It's more portable due to its lighter weight, but it doesn't perform as well in gaming or high-performance tasks when compared to the Zephyrus G15. Both have similar storage capacity and build quality. Consider your primary use: high-performance tasks and gaming favor the Zephyrus G15, while creative tasks and portability favor the ZenBook Pro 14 Duo. Give Feedback

Florian Glaser | February 2021
"As long as you're aware of the fact that the GeForce RTX 3080 laptop version can only unfold its potential to a limited extent due to Asus's low TDP setting and that it can be slower than a fast RTX 3070 laptop, the ROG Zephyrus G15 GA503Q cuts a fine figure. One of the biggest highlights turns out to be the WQHD panel, since it attracts customers with 165 Hz, relatively fast response times, FreeSync, and good color-space coverage. Other selling points are the surprisingly rich sound, the long battery life, and the sleek design. In terms of looks, the white edition stands out nicely from the competition."

"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."
