The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo offers higher performance for tasks like 3D rendering, machine learning, and engineering, with better display quality suitable for creators who need accurate colors and clear images. It's also geared towards gaming due to its GPU capabilities. However, it's heavier and less portable compared to the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga. The ThinkPad, on the other hand, is more portable, has a premium business design, and offers reliability for general use with good build quality, keyboard, and battery life. If portability and a premium business look are essential, go for the ThinkPad, but if performance in resource-intensive tasks and display quality are priorities, consider the ZenBook Pro.

"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 ThinkPad X1 Titanium is a showcase of what Lenovo thinks business computing will look like in the near future. People want thinner, lighter laptops with high-quality screens and enough computing power to get their work done. The X1 Titanium achieves these goals with some controversial but innovative design choices, including a redesigned keyboard and a pared-down port selection."
