The ASUS Zenbook 14 is a budget-friendly choice with a vivid OLED screen and a lighter build, making it more portable. Its processor is suitable for general use and light engineering tasks. The ASUS Zenbook Duo 14, on the other hand, has a unique dual-screen setup that can enhance multitasking and creative work but makes the laptop heavier and the main screen is of lower resolution than the OLED. It also comes with a more powerful processor that can handle more intensive tasks. So, if you prioritize screen quality and portability, and want to save money, go for the Zenbook 14. If multitasking and better performance in demanding applications are more important, and you don't mind the added cost, the Zenbook Duo 14 would be the better option. Give Feedback

The ASUS Zenbook 14 has a better screen than the ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design.
The ASUS Zenbook 14 offers a crisp, bright display with high resolution that makes text and images sharp and vivid, ideal for both general tasks and detailed engineering work. However, its slower refresh rate limits its ability to smoothly render fast-paced action, which is crucial for gaming and 3D applications. In contrast, the Zenbook Duo 14 provides comparable clarity and color accuracy for general use and professional design tasks but similarly struggles with gaming and 3D content due to a refresh rate that can't keep up with the demands of those applications.

"Users who travel frequently and are looking for a portable laptop are in the right place with the Asus ZenBook 14. The sleek case is extremely light (1.2 kg) and surprisingly thin (1.5 cm). Outdoor use is also enjoyable thanks to the bright Full HD display, which is something that can rarely be said about laptops with TN or IPS panels. The excellent battery life complements this as well. Longer trips are no problem with the ZenBook 14. Another plus point is the high-performance Ryzen 7 5700U, which often leaves the Intel competition in the dust thanks to its large number of cores."

"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."
