The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 offers a dual-screen setup and higher storage space with more RAM, ideal for multitasking and demanding software. It also has a higher resolution OLED display, better for visual tasks. Despite the Gigabyte Aorus 5's higher refresh rate screen that's beneficial for gaming, it has less storage and memory. The Aorus 5 has an RGB keyboard over the ZenBook's white backlit one and is marginally lighter, factors that gamers might prefer. If cost is crucial and you need more power and productivity features, the ASUS is favorable, while the Gigabyte might appeal more to gamers despite a higher price point. Give Feedback

The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is very good for general use, while the Gigabyte Aorus 5 is good.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15, with its top-of-the-line CPU, double the RAM, and superior OLED screen, is more suitable for demanding tasks and provides a richer visual experience, ideal for general use that benefits from high performance and premium display qualities, but it also means less portability and shorter battery life compared to more balanced options. On the contrary, the Gigabyte Aorus 5, while still powerful, offers a more modest CPU and standard IPS screen, and even with better battery life and heat management, it may not match the ASUS for the most demanding applications or for users prioritizing screen quality, making it more suited for users who value a balance between performance and longevity on-the-go.

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."

Vincent Chang | June 2022
"The Gigabyte Aorus 5 SE4 is a capable mainstream gaming notebook that will run the latest PC games with aplomb. However, it's not your stereotypical flashy gaming PC. Gigabyte has added some interesting tweaks. For example, the webcam placement and its Microsoft Azure AI tool — to automatically switch between power modes — are unusual for this genre. But more importantly, the pricing is fairly competitive and reasonable."
