The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is a suitable choice for creative professionals who desire a high-quality OLED touchscreen with a 16:10 aspect ratio, making it excellent for design work. It has a good balance of portability and power, but the integrated graphics limit its potential for intensive gaming or 3D work. Alternatively, the Gigabyte Aorus 15, with its RTX 3070 Ti dedicated graphics, excels at high-end gaming and 3D tasks but comes at a higher price point and is less portable due to its larger size and weight. For pure performance in gaming or engineering applications, the Aorus 15 is the better choice, while for mobility and creative tasks such as photo editing, the ZenBook Pro 14 Duo stands out.

"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 Gigabyte Aorus 15 is a power-hungry gaming beast. The Aorus 15 is designed to run games at QHD and high to max settings. But it also cuts a good figure in other demanding applications such as video editing and rendering. This is made possible by the Core i7 12700H and GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop inside the machine. A lightning-fast PCIe 4.0 SSD (1 TB) allows for short loading times."
