The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 offers a high-resolution OLED touchscreen and is more powerful, suited for tasks like 3D rendering and machine learning. Its unique dual-screen design can enhance productivity but comes at the cost of being heavier and having a shorter battery life. The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16", while also powerful, has a higher refresh rate display and a lighter build, optimizing it for gaming and portability. It lacks the touchscreen and the top-tier display colors of the ASUS but balances this with a better keyboard and higher portability. Choose the ASUS for a premium dual-screen experience with intense workloads and the Lenovo for gaming and travel-friendly usage. Give Feedback

Reflect on your needs when choosing between the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 and the Lenovo Legion Slim 7; both offer high-resolution displays with excellent color reproduction suitable for everyday tasks and professional design work, ensuring crisp images and vibrant colors. However, for gamers and those into 3D applications, the lower refresh rates on these models may result in less fluid motion and responsiveness, making them less ideal for fast-paced gaming experiences.

How the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 and the Lenovo Legion Slim 7 16" 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."
"The Lenovo Legion Slim 7 is a slim Legion notebook that is just as excellent with Nvidia & Intel. However, the Legion Slim 7i slightly sullied by lacklustre battery life. You get a slim aluminium chassis, great input devices, decent port selection, fast high-quality WQXGA display and great performance. Supporting Thunderbolt 4 is one advantage of the Intel/Nvidia model tested in this review. Moreover, this variant has slightly higher CPU performance as well as better GPU performance in certain applications (e.g. CUDA-based apps). The Lenovo Legion S7i is thin, premium and performant – but less efficient than its AMD counterpart."
