If you prioritize a laptop with an OLED screen, higher color accuracy, and a dual-screen setup for productivity and creative work, the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo would be the better choice. It's equipped with an Intel processor and integrated graphics which are sufficient for general use and some light creative tasks. However, if gaming performance, better heat management, and a slightly longer battery life are more important to you, along with a dedicated Nvidia graphics card capable of handling more intensive 3D tasks, then the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 should be your choice. The Legion also offers a slightly larger screen, but both laptops are similar in weight and portability. Keep in mind, the ASUS comes with more RAM, potentially better for multitasking and demanding software. Both laptops fall within a similar price range, so your decision should be based on what specific features align best with your needs. Give Feedback

The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" is very good for gaming and AI, while the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is only fair.
The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" is very good for gaming and 3D because it has a high refresh rate screen and a powerful Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU, essential for smooth visuals and detailed graphics rendering. On the other hand, the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo, with its lower refresh rate screen and a less capable GPU designed more for integrated graphics, is suitable for gaming but might not deliver the same level of performance as the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16".

"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 7 is a slim Legion notebook that is just as excellent with Nvidia & Intel. However, the Legion Slim 7i slightly sullied by lacklustre battery life. You get a slim aluminium chassis, great input devices, decent port selection, fast high-quality WQXGA display and great performance. Supporting Thunderbolt 4 is one advantage of the Intel/Nvidia model tested in this review. Moreover, this variant has slightly higher CPU performance as well as better GPU performance in certain applications (e.g. CUDA-based apps). The Lenovo Legion S7i is thin, premium and performant – but less efficient than its AMD counterpart."
