The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 would be a solid choice if you prefer a mix of gaming and general use without spending too much. It has a powerful graphics card suitable for gaming and intensive tasks, but the screen isn't as vibrant and sharp as premium models. On the other hand, the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 caters to creative professionals and multitaskers with its high-resolution OLED touchscreen and better color accuracy. It has more RAM and a stronger processor, making it better for demanding applications, but it's generally more expensive and has a lower capacity for gaming when compared to the TUF Gaming F15.

Allen Ngo | March 2022
"Aside from all the chassis updates, the new TUF Gaming is most notable for its much higher TGP target of 140 W compared to only 95 W on the previous generation. PC makers everywhere are using the same GeForce GPUs this year since Nvidia has yet to launch the successor to the mobile RTX 3000 series. The more demanding processors of the new TUF Gaming has directly impacted battery life and the size of the AC adapter. Don't expect runtimes to be longer than on the previous generation under most conditions and be prepared to carry around an even larger AC adapter than before."

"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."
