If price is a major concern and you are looking for a more affordable option, the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 may be suitable for you. It is lighter and offers an OLED display which is known for vivid colors and deep blacks, making it great for general use and media consumption. However, if you need a laptop with more secondary features like a touchscreen, a higher refresh rate for smoother visuals, and additional display outputs, then the ASUS Zenbook Duo (2024) could be worth the extra investment. Both have similar storage and RAM configurations, but the Zenbook Duo has a slightly better processor, which may provide a smoother experience for demanding applications. Keep in mind the Zenbook Duo is a bit bulkier and has an additional screen feature that may benefit productivity but also contributes to its higher price. Give Feedback

How the ASUS Vivobook Pro 14 and the ASUS Zenbook Duo (2024) 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."
