If you prioritize a high-resolution touchscreen and better graphics performance for tasks like 3D rendering, machine learning, or gaming, the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is the better option; it's also more suitable for engineering tasks due to its powerful graphics card and more RAM. However, it is heavier and less portable compared to the ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED. The Vivobook offers a balance of performance and portability at a lower price, making it suitable for general use and multimedia consumption, thanks to its OLED screen. It's also lighter, which might be a significant advantage if you plan on carrying it around frequently. However, it falls short in performance for more intensive tasks when compared to the Pro Duo.

The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is very good for general use, while the ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED is good.
The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED is considered good for general use because it is lighter and thinner, thus more portable, and has a sufficient RAM and a high-quality OLED screen, but its battery life is shorter compared to the ZenBook Pro Duo 15. The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 stands out with a more powerful CPU, double the RAM for multitasking, a 4K OLED touchscreen display for superior visuals, and better battery capacity, making it very good for general use, although it is less portable due to additional weight and slightly larger dimensions.

The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is good for gaming and AI, while the ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED is only fair.
The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED's suitability for gaming and 3D tasks is bolstered by a high screen refresh rate, which leads to smoother visuals, however, it uses an integrated GPU which is typically less powerful than dedicated gaming GPUs. The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is considered very good for gaming and 3D applications due to its high-powered dedicated Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti GPU, which greatly enhances rendering and gaming performance, but comes with a standard refresh rate screen which could limit motion smoothness compared to higher refresh rate panels.

The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is excellent for engineering and design, while the ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED is very good.
The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED is equipped for engineering with a high-resolution OLED screen and an Intel i9 processor, while also being lightweight for better portability, but the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 offers a superior visual experience with a higher resolution OLED touch screen, twice the RAM, and a high-end Nvidia GPU, which makes it very good for engineering tasks and design; however, it's heavier and possibly louder due to more powerful components that impact its portability and operating noise. The Vivobook's performance is solid, but if the top-tier screen and GPU specs are essential and weight is less of a concern, the ZenBook Pro Duo's enhancements make it the more robust choice.

The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED has a better screen than the ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo 15 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design, while the ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo 15 has a better screen for content creation, and software development.
The ASUS Vivobook S 15 OLED features an OLED panel which offers vibrant colors and deep blacks, making it well-suited for general use and professional design work where color accuracy and good resolution are crucial. However, OLED panels typically do not offer the high refresh rates desired for 3D applications and gaming. On the other hand, the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15, while providing a similar level of color accuracy and resolution beneficial for general use and engineering tasks, may also fall short for gaming and 3D rendering due to a lower refresh rate.

"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."

"Benchmarks aside, the Asus ZenBook Pro Duo is hard to compare with other PCs. Its closest competition may be a multi-monitor desktop, or a laptop with an attached travel monitor. The Pro Duo is more portable and versatile than either of those options, especially with the software tools Asus has thrown on top. For a certain niche of artists, media creators, and gamers, all that might add up to something special, even if it’s unattainable for the rest of us."
