If you prioritize multitasking with a dual-screen setup, the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is well-suited for creative tasks that benefit from the extra display.

On the other hand, the MSI Prestige 13 AI Evo offers better portability, longer battery life, and is designed for business professionals who need a light and efficient laptop. If you often do processor-intensive work, like video editing or 3D modeling, the additional performance of the ASUS might be valuable despite its bulkier form and reduced battery life. Give Feedback
