The ASUS Zenbook Duo offers a unique dual-screen experience with a secondary display, which is great for multitasking and creative work, though it's less portable due to its additional weight and thickness. It has a high-resolution 14-inch IPS touchscreen with a 120Hz refresh rate, making it suitable for general use and light gaming, but the color accuracy is not as high as the Lenovo. Its Intel i7 processor and integrated Iris Xe graphics are capable for everyday tasks and some engineering applications, but it may struggle with more demanding 3D tasks or machine learning compared to the Lenovo. On the other hand, the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i is a more premium device with a larger 16-inch Mini LED display that boasts superior color accuracy and brightness, making it ideal for professionals who require top-notch screen quality for tasks like photo editing. The inclusion of an Nvidia RTX 4050 GPU and a more powerful Intel Core Ultra 7 processor means it will excel in more demanding tasks such as gaming, 3D rendering, and machine learning. It's also slightly more portable and has a better build quality, with a sleeker design and better heat management. The keyboard quality is superior, and it has a longer battery life, which is beneficial for users who are often on the move. In summary, if you prioritize portability, a unique dual-screen setup, and are focused on general productivity with some light gaming, the ASUS Zenbook Duo is a solid choice. However, if you need superior performance for gaming, 3D rendering, or machine learning, along with a top-tier display and better battery life, the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i would be the better investment, especially if you're willing to pay a bit more for these advanced features.

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."
