If you need higher performance for tasks like 3D modeling, machine learning, or gaming, the ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 is a strong option, albeit at a higher cost; it generally offers faster processors, better graphics, and additional features like a dual-screen setup. On the other hand, if your needs are more oriented towards general use like web browsing, watching videos, and office applications, and you prioritize budget and portability, the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" is a more affordable and lightweight choice, albeit with lower performance capabilities and potentially shorter battery life. Choose the ASUS for intensive tasks and the Packard Bell for straightforward, everyday use. Give Feedback

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."
