If you prioritize power and creative tasks, such as video editing or design, the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is equipped with a high-resolution OLED screen, which offers vibrant colors and deep blacks, making it ideal for these purposes. On the other hand, the Lenovo Legion Slim 5, while less expensive, comes with a dedicated graphics card and a higher refresh rate screen that could be better suited for gaming. Considering portability, the Lenovo is heavier and larger, making the ASUS potentially more travel-friendly. However, if battery longevity is crucial, know that the Lenovo offers a slightly larger capacity battery, which could translate into longer use between charges. Give Feedback

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 Duo has a better screen than the Lenovo Legion Slim 5 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo boasts exceptional clarity and detail for everyday tasks due to its high resolution and bright display, while robust color coverage makes it suitable for precision tasks in engineering and design. However, the lower refresh rate diminishes its appeal for dynamic 3D environments where fluid motion is crucial. The Lenovo Legion Slim 5 offers a balanced display that handles both daily use and professional design well enough, but similarly falls short for gaming and 3D applications where a high refresh rate is key for an immersive experience.

"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."

"The Lenovo Legion Slim 5 Gen 8 acknowledges that a gaming laptop doesn’t have to be as thick as possible and can still ensure adequate cooling when the muscles need flexing. To this end, in the Slim 5 Gen 8, it finds a neat balance of refined, trimmed-down design that still lets its internals cruise (even above their max power ratings). Lenovo then added in some high-end build quality with an altogether excellent keyboard that’s useful for both work and play."
