The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo offers a unique dual-screen design and an OLED display with vibrant colors and high contrast, making it excellent for creative work and general use. It has a more powerful CPU, which benefits engineering tasks, and a number pad, which can be handy for data entry. However, it's less portable due to its weight and has a shorter battery life compared to the Lenovo. On the other hand, the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i boasts a larger Mini LED display with a higher refresh rate, delivering superior motion clarity, which is great for gaming and fast-paced media. It also includes a dedicated Nvidia RTX 4050 GPU, which provides better performance for 3D rendering, gaming, and machine learning tasks. The Lenovo is lighter, has a longer battery life, and offers a more premium build quality with better heat management. It also features Thunderbolt 4 ports for faster data transfer and better future-proofing. If you prioritize portability, battery life, and superior performance in gaming and creative tasks, the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i is the better choice. However, if you value a unique dual-screen setup, a slightly more powerful CPU for engineering tasks, and exceptional screen colors for content creation, the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo could be more aligned with your needs.

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."
