For better performance in 3D rendering, machine learning, or intensive engineering tasks, the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is a solid choice but it's heavier and less portable. Its OLED display offers exceptional color accuracy, making it ideal for tasks where color representation is crucial. The Eluktronics Mech-15 G3R, by comparison, is lighter and more portable, which can be a plus for those who travel frequently. It also boasts a high refresh rate which is great for gaming and fast-paced visuals. However, it has half the RAM of the ASUS, which could limit performance in memory-intensive applications.

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."

"Everything considered, the XMG Neo 15 (Mech-15 G3R) with RTX 3070 Ti is a great gaming performer. The combination of the Ti graphics card with the new Intel 12th gen CPU is enough to go toe-to-toe, and even slightly pull ahead of the RTX 3080 in most titles, though on games with Ray-Tracing enabled, particularly with graphics set to the maximum and on higher resolutions, the additional VRAM of the RTX 3080 makes a big impact, and the 8GB RTX 3070 Ti machine simply can’t compete, even with the more powerful processor."
