For a balance of performance and portability with a stunning OLED display, the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is ideal, especially if you value a touchscreen and versatility for creative tasks. Its dual-screen setup and compact size make it a standout for multitasking and productivity on the go. However, if you prioritize gaming, 3D rendering, or machine learning tasks, the Lenovo Legion 5 16 (2024) with its more powerful Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU and higher refresh rate screen is the better choice, despite being less portable due to its larger size and weight. The Legion's superior gaming performance and better color space coverage will serve you well for intensive graphics work, but keep in mind it lacks the OLED screen technology and touch input of the ASUS.
