The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo offers a balance of portability and performance, with a high-quality OLED touchscreen and extended battery life, making it suitable for creators and general use. Its lighter weight makes it easy to carry. In contrast, the Gigabyte Aorus 17H comes with a more powerful graphics card and a larger screen, favoring performance for gaming, 3D rendering, or machine learning tasks, but it's heavier and less portable. Both have equally capable processors and ample storage, but the Aorus 17H has half the RAM of the ZenBook, which may impact multitasking and complex engineering applications. The Aorus is typically more expensive but could be justified for high-end gaming or intensive engineering computations. Give Feedback

The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is very good for general use, while the Gigabyte Aorus 17H is good.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo outperforms in general use with its high-quality OLED screen and lightweight design making it more portable, while its ample RAM ensures smooth multitasking; however, the Gigabyte Aorus 17H has a larger screen and a dedicated GPU for better gaming and graphics-intensive tasks, but its larger size and weight affect portability and its IPS screen, though good, is less vibrant compared to the ASUS's OLED. Both systems offer ample storage and high-performance CPUs, but the ASUS leads with better portability and screen quality for general use, while the Gigabyte doubles as a gaming powerhouse with superior heat management and larger, upgradeable RAM and storage options, at the cost of portability and battery life.

The Gigabyte Aorus 17H and ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo are both very good for engineering and design.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is well-suited for engineering and design use due to its high RAM capacity, powerful CPU, and superior OLED screen with high color accuracy, which is beneficial for detailed visual work; however, it has integrated graphics which might not handle the most demanding design software as efficiently as a dedicated GPU. On the other hand, the Gigabyte Aorus 17H, with its dedicated high-end Nvidia graphics, ample CPU power, and large screen, excels in engineering tasks that require intense graphical computations but sacrifices portability due to its larger size and weight, and has a less color-accurate IPS display compared to the ASUS.

"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."

"Overall though, it’s *lots of swearing* fast, seriously. For work, rendering, gaming, it doesn’t matter, this is a true weapon of performance that’s going to run rings around most high-end desktop systems. If you absolutely have to game at ultra-high refresh rates on the go (but within thinking distance of a plug socket), this is the ticket. I can’t see such an extreme being that appealing to everyone, but if you take your gaming seriously, or even professionally, there’s nothing else out there that comes close that you can still fit in your backpack and travel with."
