The ASUS Vivobook S 16 OLED offers a vibrant OLED display with superior color accuracy and higher brightness, making it ideal for visual tasks and media consumption. It's also more compact and lightweight, enhancing portability. The laptop features a newer Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and dedicated Intel Arc graphics, providing robust performance for general use, gaming, and engineering tasks. However, its battery life is shorter compared to the Zenbook Duo. On the other hand, the ASUS Zenbook Duo (2024) includes a unique dual-screen setup with a touchscreen secondary display, which can significantly boost productivity for multitasking. It has a longer battery life and a more comprehensive port selection, including Thunderbolt 4. The Zenbook Duo's IPS display with a higher resolution may appeal to those who prefer a more traditional screen type, though it falls short in color space coverage compared to the Vivobook's OLED. Its performance is slightly less powerful due to an older processor and integrated graphics, but it still handles everyday tasks well and is more suitable for general use rather than intensive gaming or engineering workloads. Ultimately, choose the Vivobook S 16 OLED for its superior display quality, performance, and portability if you're willing to compromise on battery life. Opt for the Zenbook Duo (2024) if you value longer battery life, extensive connectivity options, and the innovative dual-screen design for productivity, accepting its less powerful performance and average display quality.

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."
