The ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 is good for general use, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 is only fair.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 14, with its AMD Ryzen 3 processor and integrated Radeon graphics, handles everyday tasks adequately but may struggle with more demanding applications, and while its portability is enhanced due to its lightweight design, it is limited by a modest battery life and a screen that offers fair color coverage and brightness. On the other hand, the ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 offers a stronger performance with its Intel i7 processor and improved Iris Xe graphics, better suited for multitasking and some creativity tasks, complemented by a longer battery life and a touch-enabled screen with higher brightness and color representation, but this comes at the cost of added weight which slightly reduces its portability.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 to be only fair for gaming and AI, while the ASUS Vivobook Go 14 is poor.
The ASUS Vivobook Go 14 is less suited for gaming and 3D applications due to its lower-end GPU (AMD Radeon 610M), which isn't as powerful as the ASUS Zenbook Duo 14's GPU (Intel i7-1195G7 Iris Xe) for handling graphic-intensive tasks. Both laptops have the same screen refresh rate, but the Zenbook Duo's better-quality CPU and GPU make it more capable than the Vivobook Go 14 for such uses.

"The lack of a backlit keyboard in this price segment shouldn't sway the buyer the other way. However, it still comes down to user preference. The Vivobook Go 14 is a decent laptop in an extremely competitive price segment. A few omissions are a part of the balancing to reach the price segment. The Asus Vivobook Go 14 is a rare find when it comes to the price to performance ratio."

"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."
