The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is a more portable option, with a slightly smaller screen and lower weight, making it easier to carry around. It also has a secondary display which can be helpful for multitasking or creative workflows. On the other hand, the ASUS Zenbook Pro 16X offers a larger, higher-resolution main screen and a more powerful graphics card (Nvidia RTX 3060), better suited for demanding visual tasks like 3D design, video editing, or gaming. However, the 16X is heavier and might not be as convenient for constant travel. Both have ample storage and high-performance processors, so your choice may come down to whether you prioritize screen real estate and graphic performance or portability and innovative features like the second screen.

"The Zenbook Pro 14 Duo OLED is a well-tuned instrument for content creators, excelling at a range of general office tasks as well as tasks that require a little more grunt like encoding and 3D rendering. The big attraction is the laptop’s dual displays. They’re the best ones we’ve used in an Asus Zenbook Duo laptop to date with a spate of year-on-year improvements that make the visuals more striking and the cross-screen integration easier than ever before."

"The new Zenbook Pro 16X is more powerful, quieter and doesn't need to shy away from dedicated workstations and gamers. It is also comparatively compact, and our test device is the best Zenbook that we've reviewed so far. It seems equally suitable for content creators and gamers or anyone looking for a very powerful laptop that is still slim."
