If performance is crucial for engineering tasks, heavy multitasking, or demanding graphics work, the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo with its robust processor and ample memory stands out, but its higher price reflects these capabilities. The HP Spectre x360, slightly less expensive, offers a larger screen and superior battery life, making it appealing for those prioritizing longevity and value in general use; its performance is well-suited for common tasks but less optimal for intensive 3D, machine learning, or gaming pursuits. Both laptops present good portability, though the Spectre's longer battery life offers more freedom from outlets, its larger screen can be a consideration for travelers. Give Feedback

"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."

"As we said, Lenovo's Yoga 9i is a tough competitor to the Spectre with an equally admirable OLED display. We're sad that neither of them has an HDMI port nor a niche or slot to hold the stylus, though the HP wins points for its bundled mini docking station and magnetically attached pen. Your choice will come down to screen shape—and in our eyes, just as seeing an OLED screen spoils you for an IPS panel, enjoying a tall 3:2 display spoils you for a more conventional view. The HP Spectre x360 13.5 is our new favorite 2-in-1."
