The ASUS Zenbook Duo offers a unique dual-screen setup which is fantastic for multitasking and creative work, but it's slightly pricier and heavier than the Samsung. It has a robust Intel i7 processor and Iris Xe graphics, making it suitable for engineering tasks and general use, with a good balance of performance and battery life. However, its OLED screen, while vibrant, has a 16:9 aspect ratio which might not be ideal for everyone, and it lacks advanced gaming features like DLSS or hardware ray tracing. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 14 is a more portable and versatile option with its 2-in-1 design, offering a similar high-resolution OLED display with superior color accuracy and a taller 16:10 aspect ratio, which is great for productivity. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor provides excellent efficiency and battery life, with the Adreno 750 GPU being capable for general use and light gaming, though it may not match the ASUS in more demanding tasks like 3D rendering or machine learning. It also has a more premium build quality and a better webcam. If you prioritize portability, battery life, and a versatile 2-in-1 form factor with an exceptional display for general use and light gaming, the Samsung is the way to go. However, if you need the extra screen real estate for productivity and better performance for more intensive tasks, and you don't mind a bit more weight, the ASUS Zenbook Duo is the better choice.

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."
