If you prioritize multitasking and unique features on a tighter budget, the Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14 offers a balanced mix with its dedicated graphics card that’s suitable for moderate gaming or design work. It also boasts a longer battery life, which adds to its portability. On the other hand, the ASUS Zenbook Duo (2024) has a dual-screen setup that can be beneficial for productivity, and while it lacks a dedicated graphics card, it still offers decent performance for general use. It is less portable due to shorter battery life and slightly heavier weight. The choice hinges on whether the ASUS’s dual-screen and build quality justify the higher cost for your specific needs.

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."

"The Lenovo Slim Pro 7 is an attractive, portable laptop that’s ideal if you need a combination of CPU and GPU performance. It also nails the fundamentals with solid connectivity, an enjoyable keyboard, a large touchpad, and top-notch webcam. Display quality is a weakness, but it’s an acceptable compromise for the laptop’s extremely competitive $1,199 MSRP. The Slim Pro 7 is a versatile, affordable laptop and hard to beat for the price."
