The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is pricier but excels in display quality with its OLED screen, higher resolution, and touchscreen capabilities, making it suitable for creative tasks or where color accuracy is key. It offers more storage and RAM for better performance in demanding tasks like engineering and is equipped with a strong processor, but has a shorter battery life. The Gigabyte G5, on the other hand, is more budget-friendly and designed with a gaming aesthetic, featuring a dedicated Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU that supports hardware ray tracing and DLSS for gaming and 3D work, but it has lower storage, RAM, and a basic screen. It's less portable due to heavier weight and is also less powerful for general use, but it may appeal to gamers and users who need a powerful GPU at a lower cost. Give Feedback

The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is very good for general use, while the Gigabyte G5 is good.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo offers a powerful CPU, more RAM, and higher screen quality with an OLED display, which might make it preferable for tasks that demand multitasking and high-quality visuals, although it is less portable and has a shorter battery life compared to some alternatives. On the other hand, while the Gigabyte G5 has a potent GPU that could be better for gaming, it has less RAM and lower screen quality, which, combined with its heavier weight, might not make it as well-suited for general productivity tasks away from a power source.

The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is very good for engineering and design, while the Gigabyte G5 is good.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo provides superior performance in engineering and design with its robust CPU, abundant RAM, and high-quality OLED touchscreen display; however, it is less travel-friendly due to its weight and size. In contrast, the Gigabyte G5, while offering a good CPU and a dedicated GPU suitable for design tasks, has lesser RAM and a standard IPS display, which may limit intensive multitasking and color accuracy but makes it a slightly more portable option. Both laptops have their merits, with the ASUS focusing on high-end specs and screen quality, and the Gigabyte balancing decent performance with better portability.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 Duo has a better screen than the Gigabyte G5 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
For general use, the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo's high resolution and bright display enhance visual clarity and detail, outperforming the Gigabyte G5's more average display specifications. In the realm of engineering and design, the ZenBook Pro's wider color gamuts offer more accurate color reproduction, which is crucial for professionals in those fields, whereas the Gigabyte G5's color range is less extensive, making it less suitable for color-sensitive work. However, for gaming and 3D applications, the Gigabyte G5 may have a slight edge due to a potentially higher refresh rate compared to the ZenBook Pro, which emphasizes color and resolution over the smoothness of motion.

"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 G5 KE is a midrange gaming laptop that checks most boxes. Gigabyte makes good use of the Core i5-12500H and RTX 3060 Laptop GPU combo, and we find no untoward issues with overall performance. The dual-fan quad-heatpipe cooling arrangement does well to ensure that the underlying hardware doesn't throttle under load. That being said, the display is below par when compared to 2023 standards, especially when competing devices."
