The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is generally more expensive and offers top-of-the-line performance with a high-end processor, plenty of storage and memory, and an advanced GPU suitable for 3D work, machine learning, and gaming. Its dual-screen design and OLED display deliver exceptional colors and screen quality, benefiting creative and engineering tasks but at the cost of heavier weight and shorter battery life. On the other hand, the Dell Latitude 5430 is more affordable, with decent performance for general use and a lighter build for better portability. It has adequate display quality for everyday tasks and a longer-lasting battery, but it's not as powerful for intensive tasks or gaming. Choose the ASUS if performance and screen quality for advanced tasks are priorities, or opt for the Dell if you prefer affordability, portability, and longer battery life for general use.

Jared Newman | August 2021
"Benchmarks aside, the Asus ZenBook Pro Duo is hard to compare with other PCs. Its closest competition may be a multi-monitor desktop, or a laptop with an attached travel monitor. The Pro Duo is more portable and versatile than either of those options, especially with the software tools Asus has thrown on top. For a certain niche of artists, media creators, and gamers, all that might add up to something special, even if it’s unattainable for the rest of us."
