The ASUS Zenbook Duo 14, with its unique dual-screen design, is beneficial if you require extra screen estate for multitasking or creative applications. It offers solid build quality and respectable performance but is heavier, which may affect portability. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360, with its OLED screen, vibrant colors, and lightweight design, excels in portability and is suitable for general use, media consumption, and productivity on the go. Both feature similar storage capacity and touchscreen capability, but the Galaxy Book2 360 has more RAM for smoother multitasking. Consider the Zenbook Duo if you need dual screens and can handle a bit more weight, or opt for the Galaxy Book2 360 if you prioritize a lightweight laptop with a vivid screen and better battery life for everyday tasks.

The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 has a better screen than the ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, content creation, and software development.
For general use, a screen with a high resolution and brightness level enhances viewing comfort and clarity, which both the ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 and Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 offer; however, the Samsung may have an edge with superior brightness or maybe a display that offers more vibrant colors. Engineering and design tasks benefit from wide color coverage like DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB, and it appears the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 delivers very well in this regard, possibly offering a wider range or more accurate colors than the Zenbook Duo 14. When it comes to gaming and 3D applications, a high refresh rate is crucial for smooth motion, and neither laptop is optimal due to their likely standard refresh rates, but their resolutions and panel types may still provide a satisfactory visual experience for less demanding gaming scenarios.

The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 and ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 and Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 both offer just fair performance in gaming and 3D applications due to their integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics, which are generally less powerful than dedicated gaming GPUs, and their standard screen refresh rate of 60Hz, which is lower than gaming-optimized laptops that typically offer higher refresh rates for smoother visuals. Despite their respectable CPU performance and screen quality, with the ASUS sporting an IPS panel and the Samsung featuring an OLED display, both of these factors are not sufficient to push them into the same league as laptops specifically designed for high-end gaming.

How the ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 and the Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 compare to other laptops
"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."
"Samsung gets all the basics right with the Book2 360. Its convertible design works well in both laptop and tablet modes, yet still manages to be highly portable, with impressive battery life and eye-catching AMOLED display. The Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 measures just 12.9mm thick and weighs 1.16kg, making it one of the most affordable ultra-portables currently available. It’s sturdily built too, so it can cope with life on the road."
