The ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo offers a more powerful Intel i7 processor and double the RAM compared to the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 14, making it a stronger performer for demanding tasks like engineering software or multitasking. Its secondary screen above the keyboard adds versatility for creatives and multitaskers. However, it's heavier and thicker, which affects its portability. The OLED display with a high PPI and color accuracy is excellent for visual tasks, and the laptop's build quality is top-notch, though the battery life is shorter at around 6 hours of typical usage.
In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 14 is lighter, thinner, and has a longer battery life of about 10 hours, making it more suitable for users who prioritize portability and need a device that lasts through the day. The Qualcomm Snapdragon processor is optimized for efficiency and connectivity, ideal for general use and light creative work. Its OLED screen is also vibrant with accurate colors, and the laptop includes 5G connectivity for on-the-go productivity. However, it may not handle intensive engineering or 3D tasks as well as the ASUS due to its less powerful GPU and lower RAM.
Ultimately, if performance and screen real estate for productivity are your priorities and you don't mind a bulkier device with shorter battery life, the ASUS ZenBook Pro 14 Duo is the way to go. If you value portability, longer battery life, and primarily use your laptop for general tasks or light creative work, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 14 would be a better fit. Give Feedback
