For better performance in tasks like 3D rendering, machine learning, and gaming, the Eluktronics Mech-15 G3R, with its dedicated Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti graphics card, is a more suitable choice. However, the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is less expensive and offers a high-resolution OLED touchscreen with excellent color accuracy which could be advantageous for creative work that benefits from vibrant color fidelity. The Mech-15 G3R has a slightly bigger and faster display but is heavier and less portable than the ZenBook Pro 14 Duo. Battery life is similar in both, with moderate usability on a single charge. The ZenBook's keyboard lacks a numeric pad but has a white backlight, while the Mech-15 G3R offers an RGB backlit keyboard with a number pad. The latter is also built with a gaming aesthetic and hardware ray tracing capabilities, appealing to gaming enthusiasts. Give Feedback

Dominic Bayley | December 2022
"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."

"Everything considered, the XMG Neo 15 (Mech-15 G3R) with RTX 3070 Ti is a great gaming performer. The combination of the Ti graphics card with the new Intel 12th gen CPU is enough to go toe-to-toe, and even slightly pull ahead of the RTX 3080 in most titles, though on games with Ray-Tracing enabled, particularly with graphics set to the maximum and on higher resolutions, the additional VRAM of the RTX 3080 makes a big impact, and the 8GB RTX 3070 Ti machine simply can’t compete, even with the more powerful processor."
