with the Zenbook Duo featuring a unique dual-screen setup that enhances multitasking, especially for general use cases. It's lighter and more portable with better overall battery life, but its smaller size means a smaller screen and a less powerful GPU, making it less suitable for 3D applications, machine learning, and engineering tasks. Conversely, the Zenbook Pro 17 has a larger single display, more power for intensive tasks due to a more robust GPU and processor, and double the memory and storage, catering to users with heavier workloads such as video editing or engineering simulations. However, it's heavier, which impacts portability. The choice boils down to prioritizing portability and innovative design with the Duo, or opting for better performance for demanding applications with the Pro 17. 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."
