If you prioritize performance, especially for 3D tasks or gaming, the MSI Stealth GS66 with its powerful Nvidia graphics might be a better choice, despite being more expensive and heavier. On the other hand, the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo, with its unique dual-display and OLED screen, offers better value and portability. The ASUS is equipped with Intel integrated graphics, which is typically less powerful for graphic-intensive tasks. For engineering and general use, if high-quality visuals and multitasking are important and you prefer lighter weight and lower cost, the ASUS is a compelling option. However, for gaming or tasks that require higher graphic fidelity and performance, the MSI might justify its higher price and weight. Give Feedback

The ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 Duo has a better screen than the MSI Stealth GS66 for general use, engineering and design, software development, and content creation, while the MSI Stealth GS66 has a better screen for gaming and AI.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo offers high resolution and brightness with superior color accuracy, making it excellent for general use and engineering tasks, but its lower refresh rate lessens its appeal for 3D and gaming. The MSI Stealth GS66, while having good resolution and adequate color reproduction, falls short in providing the high refresh rate that 3D applications and gaming demand. Both laptops' panel types contribute to image clarity and color representation, serving general use and professional design well but not optimizing the gaming experience where fast panel response is crucial.

"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 Stealth GS66 is powerful enough for QHD. The Core i7-12700H and the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti found in the 12UGS model that we tested run all modern games smoothly in the native QHD resolution. The 15-inch display is very fast with its 240 Hz refresh rate, and it also offers a great color space (almost 100% DCI-P3) on top of that, which should please gamers as well as content creators, although we would have still wished for a higher brightness. Case, input devices, and connectivity (Thunderbolt 4) are at a good level. However, among other things, the GS66 loses points due to the high temperature development in 3D mode and its poor webcam."
