If you prioritize a high-quality display for creative work like photo editing, the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo boasts a better screen with higher color accuracy and OLED technology. Plus, it offers a unique dual-screen design which can be advantageous for multitasking. However, for gaming or 3D tasks, the Razer Blade 15, with its more powerful graphics chip and higher refresh rate, is an excellent choice, though it comes with a higher price and a slightly heavier build. Battery life is comparable, but the ASUS edges out slightly in longevity. The Razer offers a more gaming-oriented look with RGB keyboard lighting, while the ASUS has a more understated appearance. Both have similar storage and main processors, but the Razer has less RAM than the ASUS, which may affect multitasking and complex tasks. Choose the ASUS for a balance of features with an emphasis on display and multitasking, or the Razer for gaming and performance-heavy applications, acknowledging a slightly higher cost and reduced portability.

The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is very good for general use, while the Razer Blade 15 is good.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo offers superior general use experience largely due to its robust processing power, generous RAM, a high-quality OLED touchscreen with strong color accuracy, and a heavier focus on portability including a slightly better battery life. The Razer Blade 15, while offering a high-quality IPS display and considerable processing power, has half the RAM and focuses more on gaming capabilities, which might not be prioritized by general users, and slightly less battery life, albeit with good portability.

Dominic Bayley | December 2022
"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 2022 Blade 15 offers roughly 15 to 25 percent faster graphics performance and 20 percent faster CPU performance over last year's Core i7-11800H and RTX 3080 model. Thankfully, the system doesn't need to run noticeably louder or warmer to achieve faster results, but both power consumption and battery life take a hit. The higher consumption in particular appears to be a trend amongst many 12th gen Core laptops including the Schenker Uniwill Technology GM7AG8P or MSI Vector GP66 when compared to their previous generation counterparts. We're also glad to not see below-average CPU performance which was the case for the 10th gen Core i7-10875H model."
