If your focus is high performance for tasks like 3D rendering, engineering applications, or intensive gaming, the ASUS Zenbook Duo is designed to handle these with its superior processor and graphics. Its dual-screen feature could enhance productivity, but keep in mind it's heavier and offers less battery life. For basic tasks such as web browsing and document editing, the more budget-friendly Packard Bell Cloudbook is quite suitable and lighter, making it more portable, although it has less power and storage capacity. The Zenbook Duo's build quality and additional features like a backlit keyboard and touch screen may justify its higher price if those are priorities for you. 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."
