If you prioritize a dual-screen setup for multitasking and can accommodate a higher price, the ASUS Zenbook Duo (2024) may be suitable; despite its higher cost and heavier weight, it offers unique features like a secondary touchscreen. However, if your focus is on graphic performance for activities like gaming or video editing, and you prefer longer battery life and slightly lighter weight, the ASUS Zenbook Pro 15, with its dedicated Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti GPU and OLED screen, could be a better value. Keep in mind that the Duo has a higher refresh rate and slightly better portability, while the Pro 15 offers better battery life and stronger graphic performance. Give Feedback

"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 ASUS Zenbook Pro 15 offers a strong CPU, chassis, and display. One of the most popular 15.6-inch prosumer or multimedia laptops out there is the Dell XPS 15. Thus, comparisons between it and the Asus Zenbook Pro 15 are inevitable. Asus has a couple of tricks up its sleeve that XPS users are still missing out on including 1080p OLED and an AMD Ryzen CPU which help separate the Zenbook Pro 15 from the XPS 15. It also integrates a numpad and a few more port options albeit at the cost of a larger chassis size."
