The HP Dragonfly Pro 14" and ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 and HP Dragonfly Pro 14 are considered fair for gaming and 3D because their integrated GPUs—Intel Iris Xe and AMD Radeon 680M respectively—offer adequate but not top-tier gaming performance and their screens have standard 60Hz refresh rates, which are acceptable but not optimal for fast-paced gaming. Additionally, both feature IPS panels with good screen quality, but their CPUs, while capable, are not the highest performing options for gaming and 3D applications.

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."

"I’d say that the HP Dragonfly Pro checks off most of the boxes for this freelancer. It feels nice to use, is zippy and responsive, has great speakers, and even has a relatively sane price. Although it’s an unorthodox choice to pick AMD for this kind of machine, it’s clear that when Ryzen is given a chance to shine, it can kick a lot of butt."
