Given the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo's higher price point, you're looking at a laptop with a higher resolution OLED screen, which is excellent for creative tasks, more memory, and a potentially better processor. This can handle intensive tasks like engineering software, video editing, or gaming. However, it's heavier and may offer less battery life. On the other hand, the MSI Prestige 15 has a larger screen with standard resolution, a dedicated graphics card which is decent for casual gaming and graphic work, and may offer better battery life. It's also lighter, making it more portable, but has less memory and a possibly slower processor. Choose the ASUS if performance and screen quality are top priorities or the MSI for better portability and battery life if those are more crucial. 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 MSI Prestige 15 offers a dazzling 4K image quality, and solid performance. The MSI Prestige 15 appears to consistently implement the guiding principle of throttling the solid and efficient hardware to such an extent that content creation succeeds perfectly. Performance-hungry tasks, on the other hand, are slowed down a little by the reduced power consumption. Conversely, this means that the case remains relatively cool and the dual fan subdued. The battery life also benefits somewhat. So the losses aren't really dramatic because full performance is still available for short bursts."
