If battery life is a priority and you prefer a larger screen, the ASUS Vivobook 16X might appeal to you as it offers a solid battery capacity and a 16-inch display. It's more affordable, has substantial performance for general tasks, and can handle some engineering workloads. However, it's bulkier and heavier, making it less ideal for frequent travel. The more expensive ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is lighter and offers a high-resolution touchscreen, better for creative tasks with its dual screen and higher-quality display, but it has a slightly smaller screen size. This model packs a more powerful processor and double the storage space, which can be crucial for demanding applications and multitasking. If you seek a balance between performance and portability, especially for creative or engineering work, the ZenBook Pro 14 Duo deserves strong consideration, despite its higher price point.

The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is very good for general use, while the ASUS Vivobook 16X is good.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo boasts a higher resolution OLED screen, a significantly lighter and more compact form, more robust CPU and double the RAM compared to the ASUS Vivobook 16X, making it very suitable for general use that may involve multitasking and high-quality media consumption. However, the Vivobook 16X, while slightly less suited for such intensive tasks due to its modest screen and performance components, may offer better gaming capabilities with its dedicated Nvidia graphics card and remains a good choice for general use at a potentially more affordable price point.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 Duo has a better screen than the ASUS Vivobook 16X for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
The ASUS Vivobook 16X offers a balance suitable for general use and engineering with a display that provides decent resolution and brightness, but its lower refresh rate limits its appeal for gaming and 3D applications. The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo, with its superior screen characteristics, is excellent for general use and engineering tasks thanks to its high resolution, brightness, and coverage of professional color gamuts. However, like the Vivobook 16X, its lower refresh rate means it's not the best fit for gaming and 3D work where smoother motion and faster screen responses are crucial.

"I think the ASUS Vivobook 16X is fantastic. Great performance, decent battery life, good keyboard and trackpad, and a massive screen – just that the screen quality itself is kinda subpar. If you’re okay with the screen, then I think this is an okay laptop. However, I’d like to see a price drop."

"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."
