If you prioritize performance for intensive tasks such as 3D rendering, machine learning, or engineering and prefer a larger, high-resolution touchscreen, the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is an excellent option, but it is heavier and less portable. On the other hand, the Dell Precision 5470 is more portable, lighter, and still well-suited for general use and engineering tasks but doesn't match the ASUS's performance for more demanding graphics tasks. Both laptops are similarly priced, but consider the ASUS if you need top-tier graphics capabilities and the Dell if you need something easier to carry with respectable performance. Give Feedback

The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is very good for general use, while the Dell Precision 5470 is good.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 offers a more powerful CPU and twice the RAM of the Dell Precision 5470, in addition to a superior screen quality with OLED display and higher resolution, hence its very good rating for general use; however, that comes with a tradeoff in portability and shorter battery life when compared to the lighter and longer-lasting Precision. Conversely, the Dell Precision is more portable with notably longer battery life and an excellent keyboard, but it's less suited for demanding tasks and has a lower quality display, making it still good for general use but not as high-performing as the ASUS.

"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."

"The Dell Precision 5470 is a mobile workstation that's far more portable than most alternatives. Between its slim 14-inch design and top-quality MIL-STD 810H build, it's one of the best options around for taking professional-grade performance on the road or to the job site. There are tradeoffs for its portability, and users of the most demanding, graphics-intensive applications will need to carry something heavier. But the Dell's exceptional battery life underscores its desirability as the most portable workstation we've seen."
