The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 offers better color accuracy and screen resolution, making it ideal for visual-centric work such as design or photo editing. It's also lighter and may perform slightly better for general use due to its OLED display with high contrast. However, the ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 has a larger storage capacity, boasts a slightly longer battery life, and features dual screens, which could enhance multitasking and productivity. The Zenbook Duo also has more ports, which may be beneficial if you often connect multiple devices. If you require higher computational performance, the Zenbook Duo's superior processor might be more fitting for engineering applications, although both laptops use integrated graphics which might not be optimal for 3D rendering or gaming. Consider the VivoBook Pro if cost and a superior display are priorities, or opt for the Zenbook Duo if you need better multitasking capabilities and storage, albeit at a higher price point.

The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 has a better screen than the ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
The ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 offers a display with high resolution and brightness, making it suitable for general use and engineering, where clarity and color accuracy are crucial. However, it falls short for gaming and 3D work due to its lower refresh rate, which can lead to less smooth visuals in fast-paced scenarios. In contrast, the ASUS Zenbook Duo 14, while still providing a quality display for general activities and decent color representation for engineering and design, may not match the Vivobook Pro's color gamut coverage, yet it too lacks a high refresh rate needed for optimal gaming and 3D experiences.

How the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 and the ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 compare to other laptops
"The Asus Vivobook Pro 14 OLED is a Pantone Validated laptop that packs a lot of processing power. The Asus VivoBook Pro 14 OLED's highlight is its outstanding display: Featuring a 3K resolution in the 16:10 format and nearly a 100% coverage of the Display P3 color space, the display hardly leaves anything to be desired. The Asus laptop also shows impeccable rates in terms of general system performance. Combined with long battery life, low noise emissions, and relatively good speakers, the laptop can be recommended to users who can accept compromises in terms of connectivity."
"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."
