Choosing between the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 and the Lenovo Legion 5 15 comes down to your needs and budget. The ASUS offers better performance for demanding tasks like 3D work, machine learning, or heavy multitasking due to its high-end processor and graphics card; it's also suited for creative professionals with its dual screens, including a main OLED display, which is ideal for color-sensitive work. However, it is more expensive, heavier, and has shorter battery life, making it less portable. On the other hand, the Lenovo provides respectable performance suitable for gaming and general use, and it's more affordable, lighter, and has better battery life, which is great for portability and day-to-day tasks. The Lenovo's higher refresh rate display is beneficial for gaming, while the ASUS's high-resolution OLED screen caters to creative professionals. Give Feedback

The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is very good for general use, while the Lenovo Legion 5 15" is good.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 excels in general use due to its higher RAM, superior OLED screen, and robust CPU suitable for demanding tasks, although it's less portable and has shorter battery life compared to the Lenovo Legion 5. Conversely, the Legion 5 offers good general use capabilities with a solid CPU and sufficient RAM, along with better portability and longer battery life, but compromises on screen resolution and doesn't match the color representation of the ASUS's OLED display.

The Lenovo Legion 5 15" and ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 are both good for gaming and AI.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 offers exceptional screen quality with its OLED display and a high-end Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti GPU, suited for intense gaming and 3D work, however, it has a lower screen refresh rate which might limit the smoothness in fast-paced games. The Lenovo Legion 5 15" balances a good refresh rate with its Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU, making it capable for gaming and 3D tasks, but its screen quality and GPU are not as premium as the ASUS, reflecting its strength in smooth gameplay rather than top-tier visual fidelity.

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 Lenovo Legion 5 15 is an affordable gaming laptop with a lot of power. The new AMD processor Ryzen 7 5800H offers plenty of performance and it is also very efficient. The combination with the fast 130W version of the GeForce RTX 3060 ensures high gaming performance. We also like the fast 165 Hz display with the 1080p resolution. The automatic graphics switching causes some problems with stutters, which are very annoying. If you do not need long battery runtimes, you should definitely deactivate the hybrid graphics mode in Lenovo's Vantage app. The Legion 5 15 is never silent."
