If you need exceptional color accuracy and a higher resolution screen for tasks like photo editing, consider the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15; however, it's heavier and has shorter battery life, making it less portable. For gaming, 3D work, or engineering tasks, the Eluktronics RP-15's higher refresh rate display could be beneficial and it's also lighter, enhancing portability. The RP-15 comes at a lower price point, but with reduced storage and memory compared to the ASUS. Your choice depends on whether premium display features, portability, or budget-friendliness align more closely with your needs. Give Feedback

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."

"To conclude, I’m genuinely impressed with Eluktronics and what they have been able to deliver with the RP-15. You see this is all about maximizing performance, cooling, and giving users the most flexible I/O, and then wrapping it into a chassis that doesn’t feel super cheap. Let’s also not forget the price point, I think they have really nailed it in that department."
