When considering the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo versus the Lenovo Yoga 6, the ZenBook offers a higher-quality OLED screen, better performance for 3D and machine learning tasks, and is more geared towards creative professionals. Its higher processing power makes it well-suited for engineering work, but it is heavier and less portable, with shorter battery life. The Yoga 6, while not as powerful, excels in battery life and is more portable, making it a good choice for general use and on-the-go computing. It's also less expensive. If price is a driving factor, and your needs are more towards general use with occasional creative tasks, the Lenovo Yoga 6 is a compelling choice. On the other hand, if you need a machine that can handle demanding tasks and you're willing to trade portability and longer battery life for performance, the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is the better option.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 Duo has a better screen than the Lenovo Yoga 6 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo boasts a high-resolution display and excellent brightness, providing vivid and clear visuals for daily tasks and professional design work, where accurate color representation is crucial. However, its lower refresh rate makes it less ideal for gaming and 3D applications that benefit from smoother motion. On the other hand, the Lenovo Yoga 6, with moderate resolution and brightness, offers sufficient quality for everyday use and competent performance for engineering tasks, but like the ZenBook, its refresh rate isn't tailored for the high-speed demands of gaming and 3D content.

"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 AMD R7-7730U in the Lenovo Yoga 6 13 provides a suitable answer to the limited cooling capabilities of a convertible - especially in tablet mode. It draws high computing power from a comparatively limited power supply so that less heat has to be dissipated at the same time."
