The ASUS Vivobook S 16 OLED offers a balance of performance and portability at a lower midrange price, making it suitable for general use and light engineering tasks with its OLED display providing vibrant colors and deep blacks, though it may not excel in intensive gaming or 3D rendering. In contrast, the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo, while pricier and less portable due to its additional screen, packs more power with double the RAM and a high-performance processor, catering to more demanding tasks in creative work and multitasking. Its OLED touchscreen enhances the user experience, but at the cost of battery life and increased weight. If you prioritize portability and value for money for everyday tasks, the Vivobook S is a strong contender. However, if your work involves heavy multitasking, creative software, or engineering applications and you can manage the higher price and bulk, the ZenBook Pro 14 Duo would be the better investment.

"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."
