The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is more expensive and offers higher performance for intensive tasks like engineering, 3D rendering, and machine learning, due to its superior processor and larger memory. It also has a high-resolution OLED display which is great for color-sensitive work. However, it is heavier and has a shorter battery life. On the other hand, the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo is less expensive, lighter, and has longer battery life, making it more portable, but it has a lower resolution IPS display and lesser performance capabilities due to less memory and a slightly less powerful processor. Both laptops are suitable for general use and offer touchscreen capabilities and similar build quality. 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."

"MSI wants to prove that it can do more than just gaming laptops and the Summit E13 Flip is a great example of what the manufacturer is capable of especially in terms of aesthetics and performance. Normally for subnotebooks or convertibles, TDP and performance are often below average as makers want to meet slimmer designs and lower weight targets. The Summit manages to outperform others in its size class and category while still looking sleek and portable in the process. If you want a convertible that won't throttle significantly when under load, then this MSI will be one of the better options you can find."
