While well-suited for general use, it may not be the optimal choice for resource-intensive tasks such as 3D modeling or engineering software due to its midrange performance and standard display resolution.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga has a better screen than the ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, and content creation.
Both the ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 and Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga have displays with sufficient resolution, brightness, and panel quality that make them great for everyday tasks and detailed engineering or design work due to accurate colors. However, for gaming and 3D applications, the screens fall short because they lack high refresh rates which are crucial for smooth motion and responsiveness. Despite their good color representation for professional creative work, their refresh rates make them less ideal for fast-paced gaming or 3D rendering where fluid visuals are essential.

"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 ThinkPad X1 Titanium is a showcase of what Lenovo thinks business computing will look like in the near future. People want thinner, lighter laptops with high-quality screens and enough computing power to get their work done. The X1 Titanium achieves these goals with some controversial but innovative design choices, including a redesigned keyboard and a pared-down port selection."
