The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo, being more affordable, offers an excellent screen with its OLED display and touchscreen capabilities, higher resolution, and larger color coverage, making it ideal for creative professionals who prioritize display quality and portability with its lighter weight. Conversely, the Gigabyte Aorus 17G, although pricier, is equipped with a more powerful dedicated Nvidia graphics card suitable for intensive gaming and 3D rendering and has a higher refresh rate display. However, it is bulkier and heavier, which could be less convenient for frequent travel. Both laptops have similar battery life but consider if the higher cost is worth the Gigabyte's gaming capabilities and whether a larger, heavier build is acceptable for your needs. Give Feedback

The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is very good for general use, while the Gigabyte Aorus 17G is good.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo outshines the Gigabyte Aorus 17G for general use by combining a high-quality screen, lightweight design, and longer battery life, making it more portable and convenient for everyday tasks. Although the Aorus 17G has good general performance with a strong CPU and plenty of RAM, its heavier build and shorter battery life, compared to the ZenBook, make it a better fit for stationary use where these traits are less of a hindrance.

"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 Aorus 17G isn't among the top RTX 3080 laptops due to its relatively low TGP of 105 watts. The device's gaming performance is average for an RTX 3080. For maximum performance, competitors like the Lenovo Legion 7 or the Alienware m17 R4 are recommended With the Aorus 17G, Gigabyte delivers a well-rounded gaming laptop. However, the device generates a high noise level. Throttling is not an issue. The CPU and GPU can develop their performance uniformly. Nevertheless, the device produces a lot of noise under load - more than many competitors."
