If battery life and multitasking are priorities, consider the ASUS Zenbook Duo with its dual screens and longer battery usage. However, for a lighter laptop with higher screen quality and color accuracy, the Zenbook 14X is suitable. The 14X has an OLED display favorable for creative work, whereas the Duo, with an IPS panel and second screen, excels in productivity. The Zenbook 14X also offers a higher build quality and dedicated graphics for light gaming or graphics work, but it's less portable and has a shorter battery life compared to the Duo, which might be more convenient for extended use on the go.

Sebastian Jentsch | April 2022
"With the Zenbook 14X, Asus has a 14-incher in its range that is - mostly - a joy to use. First, there is the colorful OLED panel with 3K resolution that displays the sRGB and DCI-P3 color spaces. The Zenbook is also at the forefront in terms of workmanship, input devices and connections with 2x Thunderbolt 4 ports and a generous keyboard layout. A pleasure to use, the Zenbook 14X is a solid, very well-built subnotebook that sits well on the table. A runtime of five hours, however, is below average for a high-end subnotebook nowadays. The OLED screensaver causes increased power consumption when in idle mode."

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."
