The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo offers a higher resolution and better color coverage with its OLED screen, double the storage, more RAM, and is lighter than the Lenovo LOQ 15, making it better for professionals who prioritize screen quality and portability. However, the Lenovo LOQ 15 has a superior dedicated graphics card, which would appeal to those focused on gaming or 3D tasks. Though the ASUS has an innovative secondary touchscreen, if performance in engineering software or gaming is a priority, the Lenovo's hardware might be the deciding factor despite its heavier build and lower storage capacity. Both have similar battery life, but the tradeoff comes in choosing between the ASUS' portability and screen against the Lenovo's graphics power and gaming capabilities. Give Feedback

The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is very good for engineering and design, while the Lenovo LOQ 15 is good.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo excels in engineering and design due to its high-quality OLED screen with a higher color accuracy, more RAM for handling complex tasks, and an efficient CPU, though it is less portable due to being lighter and thinner. On the other hand, the Lenovo LOQ 15 boasts a more powerful GPU suitable for demanding engineering software and designs, yet its bulkier size and heavier weight reduce its portability despite having a more robust keyboard and lower operating noise.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 Duo has a better screen than the Lenovo LOQ 15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo typically boasts a higher resolution and brighter display, making text and images sharper and more vibrant for general use, while its superior color gamut coverage ensures more accurate color reproduction for engineering and design tasks. On the other hand, the Lenovo LOQ 15 offers a solid display that balances resolution and brightness for general tasks and provides decent color representation for professional work, albeit with less precision than the ASUS. However, both laptops fall short for 3D applications due to their lower refresh rates, which can limit the smoothness and responsiveness necessary for gaming and real-time 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."
"Even after a short time with the LOQ 15, you'll find it has a lot going for it, but ultimately it's just "good"—not quite a star. The performance is respectable for the hardware it’s running, but Lenovo had to make some design sacrifices to trim the price. One of the better aspects is the keyboard, making it one of the better low-cost gaming laptops to actually put your hands on."
