If you prioritize a dual-screen experience for multitasking and creative tasks, along with better portability due to a lighter weight and smaller screen size, the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is tailored for these scenarios, although it comes at a higher price. In contrast, the Lenovo Legion 5 is larger with a more gaming-oriented design, including a powerful Nvidia graphics card that excels in gaming and heavy graphical tasks, and it offers this at a lower price point. However, the Lenovo is heavier, which might not be ideal if you frequently carry your laptop around. The ASUS has an OLED screen for superior color and contrast, which is beneficial for tasks like photo and video editing, while the Lenovo has an IPS display with a higher refresh rate, making it better suited for gaming. The ASUS's larger battery capacity suggests better battery life, but it may still depend on usage. The choice comes down to whether you value the creative and portable nature of the ASUS over the gaming and cost-effectiveness of the Lenovo. Give Feedback

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 Duo has a better screen than the Lenovo Legion 5 15" for general use, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
For general use, the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo offers a high-resolution display with excellent brightness and color details, while the Lenovo Legion 5 15" provides similar qualities but may have slightly less exceptional brightness or color depth.

"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."

Andreas Osthoff | September 2021
"The Lenovo Legion 5 15 is an affordable gaming laptop with a lot of power. The new AMD processor Ryzen 7 5800H offers plenty of performance and it is also very efficient. The combination with the fast 130W version of the GeForce RTX 3060 ensures high gaming performance. We also like the fast 165 Hz display with the 1080p resolution. The automatic graphics switching causes some problems with stutters, which are very annoying. If you do not need long battery runtimes, you should definitely deactivate the hybrid graphics mode in Lenovo's Vantage app. The Legion 5 15 is never silent."
