The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 stands out for users needing high performance for tasks like video editing, 3D rendering, or intensive gaming, largely due to its superior graphics and processing power as well as the unique dual-screen feature that enhances multitasking. However, it's heavier, which affects portability, and tends to have a shorter battery life. On the other hand, the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro is more suitable for general use, lighter and easier to carry, and has a longer battery life, which makes it excellent for on-the-go productivity, but it may not handle resource-intensive tasks as well. If budget is a concern, the Lenovo is typically more affordable, but if peak performance and unique features are priorities, the ASUS may justify the higher investment. Give Feedback

The ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo 15 has a better screen than the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro for general use, engineering and design, software development, and content creation, while the Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro has a better screen for gaming and AI.
For general use, the ZenBook Pro Duo 15's high resolution and bright display enhance viewing and readability, while the IdeaPad 5 Pro delivers a slightly less sharp and less brilliant image. In engineering and design, the ZenBook's wider color coverage ensures more accurate color representation, which is crucial for detailed work, compared to the IdeaPad which offers good but limited color range. However, when it comes to gaming and 3D tasks, both laptops fall short due to their lower refresh rates that can't provide the smooth visuals preferred in fast-paced games, despite their adequate resolution and panel quality.

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."

Florian Glaser | September 2022
"The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro turns out a successful all-rounder that, aside from 3D applications, always strikes a good or very good figure. This begins with the elegant metal case that isn't particularly light but fairly robust, giving a high-quality impression. The input devices are also better than those of many competitors. Both the keyboard and the touchpad are attractive and comfortable. In addition, the performance of the Ryzen 5 6600HS is easily able to keep up with the Intel competitors."
