The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is more portable, has better color accuracy for creative work, and a higher-quality OLED touchscreen display which is great for general use and professional creative tasks. However, it's less ideal for intensive gaming due to a less powerful GPU compared to the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro. The Legion 5 Pro boasts a stronger GPU suitable for gaming, 3D work, and machine learning tasks, but with a heavier build and shorter battery life, it's less convenient for frequent travel. Both have ample storage and solid performance, so consider whether portability and screen quality or gaming and task performance are your priority. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 is very good for gaming and AI, while the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is only fair.
The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 outperforms the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo in gaming and 3D tasks primarily because it has a superior Nvidia RTX 4070 graphics card and a higher screen refresh rate, which are very important for these activities. While both laptops have quality displays, screens with higher refresh rates, like the one on the Lenovo, provide smoother visuals which are crucial for fast-paced gaming and 3D rendering.

"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."

Mark Knapp | July 2023
"It doesn't quite match its Legion Pro 7i sibling as an Editors' Choice winner, but Lenovo's AMD-powered Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 is a stylish, well-built gaming laptop with solid performance at both 1080p and its sharper native resolution. It's cheaper than some comparably equipped machines and better than some similarly priced ones. That's a recipe for success, even without its frequent availability of discounts or sales. A brighter screen and longer battery life would be nice, but even as is the Legion Pro 5 earns a solid recommendation."
