If you prioritize higher storage, more memory, and better graphics for activities like gaming or 3D modeling, the Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14 would be preferable as it comes with an Nvidia RTX 3050 graphic card, which outperforms the integrated graphics of the ASUS Zenbook Duo 14. However, the ASUS is typically less expensive and has unique features like a dual-screen design that might be useful for multitasking or creative work. Despite the ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 having improved performance for general use, it falls behind the Lenovo in intensive applications. The Lenovo also boasts longer battery life and a higher resolution and refresh rate display, which is beneficial for detailed work and smoother visuals. If portability is a key concern, both models are similar in weight, though the ASUS is slightly thicker. The Lenovo offers a more recent operating system with Windows 11 Home, compared to the ASUS's Windows 10 Home, which might be a deciding factor depending on your preference for the most current software.

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."

"The Lenovo Slim Pro 7 is an attractive, portable laptop that’s ideal if you need a combination of CPU and GPU performance. It also nails the fundamentals with solid connectivity, an enjoyable keyboard, a large touchpad, and top-notch webcam. Display quality is a weakness, but it’s an acceptable compromise for the laptop’s extremely competitive $1,199 MSRP. The Slim Pro 7 is a versatile, affordable laptop and hard to beat for the price."
