The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15, being more expensive, offers a larger storage size, more RAM, a more powerful processor and GPU suitable for intensive tasks like engineering, 3D modeling, or machine learning. Its OLED screen with higher resolution is great for color-critical work but it's heavier and has shorter battery life. The Gigabyte Aorus 7, on the other hand, is lighter on the pocket, has a sizeable screen with a high refresh rate ideal for fast-paced gaming, but it has less storage and RAM, and a processor and GPU that perform well but not at the highest end, making it more suitable for general use and gaming.

"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 Gigabyte Aorus 7 is a gaming laptop that is pitched at perhaps the hardest market to get right: the mid-range. So, unlike high-end gaming laptops that can throw the latest and greatest components together in a bid to attract gamers with plenty of money to spend, or budget gaming laptops that can make wise cuts that are justified as long as the price is low enough, mid-rangers like the Gigabyte Aorus 7 have to balance the two."
