If you prioritize a larger storage capacity, more RAM, and a higher performance processor, which are well-suited for intensive engineering tasks and offer better general performance, then go for the ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED. However, be aware that it is slightly heavier and offers a bit less battery life compared to its counterpart. On the other hand, if touch-screen functionality, a bit lighter weight, slightly better battery life, and a dual-screen feature appeal to you, consider the ASUS Zenbook Duo 14. Keep in mind, though, that it has less storage, less RAM, and a less powerful processor, which could limit performance for demanding applications. Both have high-quality screens, but the Vivobook's OLED panel provides richer colors and higher brightness. Give Feedback

The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED has a better screen than the ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
For general use, the Vivobook's OLED panel delivers vibrant colors, deep blacks, and high resolution, offering a visually pleasing experience, while its brightness ensures good visibility even in well-lit environments.

"The Asus Vivobook S 15 OLED excels as a capable work machine at an affordable price. It offers commendable performance, thanks to its 12th Gen Intel chip, delivers quality on-screen entertainment with its 15.6-inch OLED display, and can (kind of) get you through a full day of work. Oh, and its special Asus Antibacterial Guard is a nice touch for those who like a clean laptop."

"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."
