Considering the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is often significantly more expensive than the HP Victus 15, the decision largely depends on your specific needs and budget. The ASUS packs a higher resolution OLED screen, more memory, and storage, offering enhanced performance for intensive tasks such as video editing and 3D design, while its slim and lightweight design enhances portability. In contrast, the HP Victus 15, with its dedicated graphics card, caters well to gaming and can handle various computing tasks at a lower cost but with a bulkier form factor and reduced display quality. If cost is a primary concern and you require a machine for general use or gaming, the Victus could be a better option. However, if you need a high-performing, portable laptop for professional creative work and can justify the price, the ASUS ZenBook Pro is likely the superior choice. Give Feedback

How the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo and the HP Victus 15 compare to other laptops
"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."
Olivier Martin, Ryan Lim, and Yannick Khong | March 2023
"The HP Victus 15 is great for gaming. It's available with Intel 12th Gen. CPUs and NVIDIA discrete graphics, which are powerful enough to provide a smooth gaming experience in demanding AAA titles at 1080p. It has a nice keyboard and a fast SSD, as well as Wi-Fi 6 and Ethernet connectivity for low-latency online gaming. Unfortunately, its 144Hz display has a slow response time causing noticeable ghosting, and it doesn't support variable refresh rate to reduce screen tearing."
