The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 generally costs more but offers superior performance for intensive engineering tasks, creative work, and gaming, thanks to its high-end processor and graphics card. The dual-screen feature, with a main OLED display, enhances multitasking and is touch-enabled for direct interaction. However, it's heavier and has lower portability. The Lenovo Legion Slim 5 is more affordable and still well-suited for general use, gaming, and some engineering tasks, but with a less powerful processor and graphics card compared to the ASUS. It offers good portability and higher refresh rate for smoother visuals in fast-paced games, but sacrifices screen resolution and the premium features found in the ASUS. 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."

"The Lenovo Legion Slim 5 Gen 8 acknowledges that a gaming laptop doesn’t have to be as thick as possible and can still ensure adequate cooling when the muscles need flexing. To this end, in the Slim 5 Gen 8, it finds a neat balance of refined, trimmed-down design that still lets its internals cruise (even above their max power ratings). Lenovo then added in some high-end build quality with an altogether excellent keyboard that’s useful for both work and play."
