For a balance of performance and portability with a stunning OLED display suited for general use and creative tasks, the ASUS Vivobook S 16 OLED is ideal. It offers a larger screen with higher resolution and better color accuracy, which is great for media consumption and light photo editing. However, it's slightly heavier and has a traditional single-screen design. On the other hand, the ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 features a unique dual-screen setup with a touchscreen secondary display, enhancing multitasking capabilities, which is beneficial for productivity. It's also more compact and has a longer battery life, making it more portable. While it has a less impressive screen in terms of resolution and color space, it includes a touchscreen and stylus support, which could be advantageous for note-taking or drawing. The Zenbook Duo 14 is more suitable for general productivity tasks, while the Vivobook S 16 OLED leans towards users prioritizing display quality and entertainment. Give Feedback

Allen Ngo | May 2020
"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."
