The ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 offers a unique dual-screen experience with a secondary display above the keyboard, which is great for multitasking and creative work, though it may not be as portable due to its thickness and weight. It has a lower midrange price and decent performance with an Intel i7 processor and integrated Iris Xe graphics, suitable for general use and light gaming or engineering tasks. The battery life is good, and it has a solid build quality. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 14, while priced slightly higher, boasts an OLED display with vibrant colors and high brightness, making it exceptional for media consumption and creative work that benefits from accurate color reproduction. Its Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor provides good performance for everyday tasks and excellent battery life, with the added advantage of being a 2-in-1 convertible for versatile use. It's also thinner and lighter, enhancing its portability. If you prioritize a superior display, longer battery life, and a more portable design for general use and content consumption, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 14 is the way to go. However, if you value the innovative dual-screen setup for productivity and are looking for a more cost-effective option, the ASUS Zenbook Duo 14 would be a better fit. 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."
