The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is excellent for engineering and design, while the Gigabyte G5 is good.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 stands out for engineering and design because of its high-performance CPU and GPU, extensive RAM, and superior OLED screen offering deep contrast and full coverage of color spaces, essential for precise visual tasks. In comparison, the Gigabyte G5, while offering a capable CPU and GPU combination for engineering use, has less RAM and a standard IPS screen, which although adequate, doesn't match the ASUS's top-tier visual fidelity or processing capabilities.

The ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo 15 has a better screen than the Gigabyte G5 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15’s high resolution and bright display offer crisp and vibrant visuals that enhance both everyday tasks and detailed engineering work, along with wide color gamuts ensuring accuracy for professional design work. On the other hand, its lower refresh rate means motion may not appear as smooth to gamers, which is more noticeable in fast-paced 3D environments. The Gigabyte G5 provides adequate resolution and brightness which serve general tasks and engineering sufficiently, but it falls short for gaming and high-end design due to its more modest color range and refresh rate, affecting both color accuracy and motion fluidity.

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."

"The Gigabyte G5 KE is a midrange gaming laptop that checks most boxes. Gigabyte makes good use of the Core i5-12500H and RTX 3060 Laptop GPU combo, and we find no untoward issues with overall performance. The dual-fan quad-heatpipe cooling arrangement does well to ensure that the underlying hardware doesn't throttle under load. That being said, the display is below par when compared to 2023 standards, especially when competing devices."
