The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo offers a high-resolution OLED touchscreen and is more suitable for tasks requiring better graphical performance, like 3D rendering, engineering, or intensive gaming, due to its powerful processor and abundant RAM. However, its battery life is shorter, which affects portability, and it's also heavier. The LG Gram 16, on the other hand, is much lighter, boasts significantly longer battery life, making it highly portable, and still performs well for general use and engineering tasks with a respectable display, although it's not touchscreen. It might not handle intensive graphics as well as the ASUS but costs less and may better suit those prioritizing weight and battery over peak performance. 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."

"The LG Gram 16 is a lightweight device with stability issues. The LG Gram 16Z90Q with a Core i7-1260P is made with portability in mind and places less of a focus on users with high demands on performance. The compact and light chassis is particularly practical when you are on the go. The device is not only comfortably small and lightweight, it also boasts a great battery life. When connected to mains, on the other hand, the 16-inch device is rather disappointing. The standard cooling mode causes extreme volatility in terms of CPU, SSD and iGPU performance. The meager stability of the chassis may also put off some potential buyers."
