If performance in resource-intensive tasks like 3D modeling or machine learning is crucial for you, the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is the better choice, albeit at a higher cost. The Lenovo V15 is more suited for general use and offers better value for money if you do not need the advanced capabilities of the ASUS. The ZenBook also has a dual-screen feature which can be beneficial for multitasking, but this comes with a tradeoff of reduced battery life and less portability compared to the Lenovo V15. If gaming or high-end graphics work is part of your routine, the ASUS will serve you better; otherwise, for everyday tasks, the Lenovo V15 might be the more economical and practical pick.

The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is very good for general use, while the Lenovo V15 is good.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo shines in general use due to its higher RAM, a premium OLED screen with better resolution and color accuracy, and a more powerful CPU, which enable smoother multitasking and a superior viewing experience; however, it is less portable compared to the Lenovo V15, which offers a larger screen but with lower quality and performance due to less RAM, a less powerful CPU, and a lower-tier screen technology. Despite both having similar storage, the Lenovo V15 is lighter and has a longer battery life, which may benefit users prioritizing portability and longer usage away from power outlets.

The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is very good for engineering and design, while the Lenovo V15 is only fair.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo boasts a more powerful CPU, double the RAM, and a more capable integrated GPU, making it highly suitable for demanding engineering tasks and design work, complemented by an OLED screen with higher resolution that ensures crisp and highly accurate color representation. In contrast, the Lenovo V15, while adequate with its own solid state drive and decent CPU, offers less RAM and a less powerful integrated GPU, coupled with a lower-quality TN screen, making it more fitting for general productivity rather than intensive engineering and design use.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 Duo has a better screen than the Lenovo V15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo boasts high-quality screens, offering crisp images and vibrant colors due to its high resolution, making it excellent for general use and professional engineering or design tasks which benefit from its wide color gamut coverage. However, for gaming and 3D applications where smooth motion is key, its lower refresh rate doesn't provide the optimal experience. The Lenovo V15, with its lower resolution and limited color range, falls short across all categories, lacking the visual finesse for both casual and specialized tasks, and the quick refresh vital for immersive gaming and 3D applications.

"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 strengths of the Lenovo V15 G2 AMD lie in its expandability of the RAM and allowing you to use two SSDs, in its performance that goes beyond everyday applications thanks to AMD's hexa-core CPU and Vega-7 iGPU, in its good keyboard, and its relatively robust case. In addition, the battery life of the office laptop is also acceptable, and the device stays cool and relatively quiet."
