The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo typically costs more, offering higher storage capacity, double the RAM, and a superior Intel i7 processor compared to the Dell Latitude 5431's i5. Its OLED touchscreen has a higher resolution and refresh rate, which might be better for creative tasks and watching content. The ZenBook also has a higher color accuracy, making it preferable for design work. However, its battery life is shorter, and it's heavier, affecting portability. In contrast, the Latitude has a longer battery life, lower weight, and comes with Windows 11 Pro, potentially beneficial for business environments, while costing less, which may suit budget-conscious users who need a reliable laptop for general use and less demanding engineering work.
