If high-resolution creative work is a priority, the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 with its OLED touchscreen would suit graphic designers, videographers, and photographers. However, the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro, with a higher refresh rate and advanced GPU, caters better to gamers and those involved in 3D modeling. The ASUS is pricier and less portable due to its weight and design, whereas the Lenovo offers a gaming aesthetic with better performance for a similar price but sacrifices screen resolution and touch capability. Consider the ASUS for creative tasks and on-the-go use, and the Lenovo for gaming and performance-intensive engineering applications. Give Feedback

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."

Mark Knapp | July 2023
"It doesn't quite match its Legion Pro 7i sibling as an Editors' Choice winner, but Lenovo's AMD-powered Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 is a stylish, well-built gaming laptop with solid performance at both 1080p and its sharper native resolution. It's cheaper than some comparably equipped machines and better than some similarly priced ones. That's a recipe for success, even without its frequent availability of discounts or sales. A brighter screen and longer battery life would be nice, but even as is the Legion Pro 5 earns a solid recommendation."
