If you prioritize portability and longer battery life, the ASUS Zenbook Duo with its lighter weight and longer battery usage time fits that criteria. It has a smaller screen and is more compact, making it suitable for on-the-go use and it also features two displays, which can enhance productivity. However, if your work demands powerful graphics performance such as 3D rendering or intensive engineering applications, the MSI Vector GP76, with its high-end graphics card and larger RAM, would serve you better despite being heavier and having a shorter battery life. The MSI also boasts a higher refresh rate for smoother visuals, which is a plus for gaming. The trade-off with the MSI is decreased portability due to its larger size and heavier weight. Additionally, if cost is a significant factor, the ASUS is slightly less expensive and still provides solid performance for general use. 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."

"The MSI Vector GP76 12UGS is a gaming laptop on speed. The advantages are clear: The Vector GP76 is a real gamer with its 360 Hz display and super-fast response times. In addition, the Core i7-12700H has double the power of the CPU in its predecessor and another highlight is the Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti with a real power consumption of 150 watts. This places the device in the top range of our database. The Vector can also operate rather quietly, offers a full sound range, improved battery runtimes, a key-configurable RGB keyboard, a very stable chassis and good upgrade options. Moreover, the display produces a nice, rich and clear picture."
