For a balance of performance and portability with a stunning OLED display suitable for creative work, the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is an excellent choice, especially with its unique dual-screen design. However, if you prioritize raw gaming and 3D performance and don't mind a heavier, less portable laptop, the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i (2024) with its latest-gen processor and GPU will serve you well. The ASUS offers better battery life and a touchscreen, while the Lenovo boasts a higher refresh rate and more powerful graphics for intensive tasks. Consider your primary use case—creative work and general use favor the ASUS, whereas gaming and heavy computational tasks lean towards the Lenovo. Give Feedback

How the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 and the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i (2024) compare to other laptops
"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."
"Passionate gamers who want to play demanding modern titles with maximum details and don't mind spending the moolah will find the Lenovo Legion 7 Pro to be the right choice. The bright, sharp, and color-accurate 16:10 QHD 240 Hz display makes for an immersive viewing experience. The hardware is housed in a stylish chassis that feels premium and scores well in terms of workmanship and stability. Other aspects such as sound quality, input devices, and connectivity also seem to be near-perfect."
