The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15, with a higher price, offers premium features like a powerful Intel i9 processor, dedicated Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti graphics, and double the RAM and storage space, making it well-suited for intensive tasks such as engineering, 3D rendering, and gaming. Additionally, its OLED touchscreen delivers vivid colors and high resolution, but at the expense of less battery life and added weight, reducing portability. On the other hand, the HP 14" Laptop is significantly more affordable, lighter, and with longer battery life, appropriate for general use and portability, but it is less powerful with its AMD Ryzen processor and integrated graphics, making it less optimal for demanding software and games.

PCWorld
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."

Consumer Reports
Nicholas De Leon | October 2022
"This feels like an ideal laptop for someone who doesn’t want to spend a lot of money on a laptop and isn’t too bothered by things like build quality or construction. It’s a laptop that will be used to pay bills, keep track of expenses, do some online shopping, and will be tucked away in a spare bedroom/home office. It’s an appliance designed to do a job without fuss. It’s not a premium experience—the materials do feel a little cheap, the display won’t exactly wow you, and the battery life is nothing to write home about, especially if you’ve used more expensive devices. But overall it’s not too shabby, especially for the price."
