The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is often significantly less expensive and offers a unique dual-screen feature with a 14.5-inch OLED touch display, which is great for multitasking and creative works. It’s more portable than the MSI Stealth GS77 and has better color accuracy, making it ideal for professionals who prioritize display quality and those who need to work on the go. However, it has a lower battery life and might not be as suitable for intensive gaming or engineering tasks due to its integrated graphics. In contrast, the MSI Stealth GS77 has a larger 17.3-inch display, superior heat management, and comes with a more powerful Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti graphics card, which is better for 3D rendering, machine learning, engineering software, and gaming. Although more expensive and less portable due to its size and weight, it compensates with a higher refresh rate screen and better overall performance for demanding tasks. If gaming or using resource-intensive applications is your priority and you don’t mind the additional cost and weight, the MSI Stealth GS77 is the better choice. 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."

Allen Ngo | April 2022
"The MSI Stealth GS77 is better than the GS76... mostly. The GS77 is a few steps forward and a few steps back from the GS76. Improvements are numerous including the stronger and more rigid skeleton, higher resolution webcam, larger clickpad, easier serviceability, relatively similar battery runtimes, newer display options, and higher performance at about the same TDP and TGP levels as before. CPU performance is better than expected even when compared to other laptops with Core i7 or Core i9 processors. The newer model feels more substantial than the outgoing one for higher quality impressions as well."
