The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo can be slightly less expensive, offers great color accuracy and display quality with its OLED touchscreen, and is lighter, making it more portable. It's suitable for creative tasks but has less raw processing power and graphical capabilities. The battery life is also shorter, and it lacks gaming-centric features. By contrast, the Gigabyte Aorus 15X has a more powerful CPU and a high-end gaming GPU, better suitability for gaming and engineering programs, a longer battery life, and a higher refresh rate display, but it's heavier and may cost a bit more. If portability and display for creative work are your priorities, go for the ASUS. If you need top performance for gaming and engineering applications and value a longer battery life, choose the Gigabyte. Give Feedback

The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is very good for general use, while the Gigabyte Aorus 15X is good.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is favored for general use due to its high-quality OLED screen and its lightweight, making it highly portable despite its solid battery life; the Gigabyte Aorus 15X, on the other hand, offers a more powerful CPU and a dedicated graphics unit, which could be a trade-off against its heavier weight and somewhat lower screen quality but longer battery life and better heat management. Both laptops have ample RAM and storage, but the ZenBook's additional portability and screen vibrancy are key for non-intensive tasks, whereas the Aorus's robust performance caters more towards power users who prioritize performance and can tolerate extra bulk.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 Duo has a better screen than the Gigabyte Aorus 15X for general use, engineering and design, software development, and content creation, while the Gigabyte Aorus 15X has a better screen for gaming and AI.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo's high resolution and bright display are ideal for everyday tasks and professional design work, which demand sharp text and accurate colors; its wide color gamut caters well to engineering and design, meaning more precise color representation. However, its lower refresh rate may not be the best for 3D applications and gaming, where smooth motion is key. The Gigabyte Aorus 15X, while still suitable for general use and engineering tasks with a good display, might not offer the same color accuracy as the ASUS, but it also falls short for gaming and 3D work due to its refresh rate limitations.

"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 15X is a strong showing of Raptor Lake and RTX 4000 series. While the Aorus had trouble keeping up in older games like Grand Theft Auto V, it nudged past the competition in Shadow of the Tomb Raider. It also flexed its next-generation muscle in Far Cry 6 and Borderlands 3. While we were impressed with the overall build quality and design of the Aorus 15X, the keyboard lacked good tactile feedback. The display performed well in real-world testing despite its on-paper shortcoming with brightness, but the speakers are lackluster at best."
