If you prioritize battery life and are looking for a laptop at a lower price, the Lenovo Slim 7 might be a better option for you. However, if you need stronger general performance and better screen quality for tasks like photo editing or graphic design, and are willing to spend more, the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo may be worth the extra cost. The ASUS also offers a higher RAM capacity which can be beneficial for demanding applications, but it is a bit heavier and less portable than the Lenovo. The Lenovo is equipped with a dedicated Nvidia RTX 3050 GPU, which could be a deciding factor if your work involves 3D rendering or gaming. The ASUS meanwhile, relies on integrated graphics, which could suffice for less graphics-intensive tasks. Give Feedback

"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."

"At $1,011, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 Pro is a real bargain among full-sized laptops, with a handsome 16-inch, 16:10 aspect ratio touch screen, a speedy CPU, a comfortable keyboard, ample memory, and a roomy solid-state drive. It's not a blazing gaming rig or mobile workstation, but it doesn't pretend to be. Its biggest negative is that it may be hard to find—during our review, it sold out and was marked "Temporarily Unavailable" on Lenovo's site."
