The ASUS Vivobook 15X is less expensive and suitable for general use with a larger screen size conducive to productivity, but with modest hardware suitable for lighter tasks. Its performance is adequate for daily tasks and some light multimedia use, but it may not be ideal for intensive gaming, 3D rendering, or heavy multitasking. On the other hand, the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is more expensive but offers significantly better performance suitable for engineering, 3D modeling, and machine learning with a high-quality OLED touch display and longer battery life. It has stronger processing power and a better screen but is less portable due to its dual-screen design that could make it heavier and bulkier. If portability and cost are priorities, the Vivobook is a better choice, but for intense workloads and a superior display, the ZenBook Pro 14 Duo stands out. Give Feedback

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 Duo has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook 15X for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The ASUS Vivobook 15X has a display that offers decent resolution and brightness but may lack the wide color gamut necessary for precision in engineering and design tasks; its lower refresh rate decreases its appeal for smooth visuals in gaming and 3D applications. The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo shines with its higher resolution and brightness, making it very attractive for general use and design work due to better color accuracy and detail. However, despite its visual prowess for static images and media, its modest refresh rate limits its capability to deliver the best experience in fast-paced gaming and 3D rendering where fluid motion is key.

"All in all, my day on the Vivobook had its ups and downs. It is a really pretty and well-built device, and it had all of the functionality I needed to get me through my browser-based workload. But the speakers weren’t my favorite, and the battery life was just too short."

"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."
