The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED is a bit more budget-friendly and offers longer battery life, making it suitable for general use. It has a larger screen for comfortable viewing but is not touchscreen. On the other hand, The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is pricier, slightly less portable due to its unique dual-display setup, and has less battery life. However, it comes with a touchscreen and higher RAM, which is advantageous for engineering and multitasking. The ZenBook also tends to be better for creative tasks due to its dual screens, though for gaming and general use, both would perform well. Give Feedback

The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo offers twice the RAM and a high-quality dual touch screen, making it ideal for demanding engineering tasks and design work, while the ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED has a powerful CPU and an excellent single OLED screen suited for similar professional use, but with half the memory and without the added versatility of dual screens.

"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 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."
