If you need a laptop with stronger performance for gaming or 3D work, the ASUS TUF Dash 15 with its RTX 3060 would serve you better. However, it is heavier and slightly thicker, which impacts portability. The ASUS Zenbook Duo (2024), on the other hand, offers a unique dual-screen design with a higher resolution main display, better color coverage, and it's more portable due to its lighter weight. Its integrated Iris Xe graphics aren't as powerful for gaming, yet it has a premium build and is generally more expensive. Consider the Zenbook if portability and screen quality are priorities, and the TUF Dash 15 for better gaming and performance-intensive tasks. Give Feedback

"The Asus TUF Dash F15 FX517ZR is a laptop with mobile RTX 3070 and acceptable battery life. The Asus TUF Dash F15 was made for high-performance applications like video editing, rendering, and gaming. The laptop can manage the latter in QHD resolution and at high to maximum settings. However, the focus isn't on maximum performance, but instead, it's about a compromise between performance and portability."

"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."
