The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is often more expensive than the Lenovo LOQ 15, but it offers superior performance for intensive engineering tasks, machine learning, and 3D rendering due to its more powerful processor and GPU. It also has a high-resolution OLED touchscreen which is better for color-sensitive work, though it may not be as suitable for fast motion visuals due to a lower refresh rate. The ZenBook Pro Duo, with more RAM and storage, is less portable due to its weight and lower battery life compared to the Lenovo. The Lenovo LOQ 15, while less expensive and slightly more portable, has an IPS display with a higher refresh rate, making it more suitable for gaming, but its performance for demanding tasks is not as high, and it has less RAM and storage. The Lenovo also has a midrange price point, making it a more budget-friendly option for general use and moderate gaming. Give Feedback

The ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo 15 has a better screen than the Lenovo LOQ 15 for general use, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
For general use, the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 offers superior screen clarity, higher resolution, and brighter display which enhances everyday tasks, while the Lenovo LOQ 15 provides ample quality for most users but falls short of the ASUS's premium display. Engineering and design professionals would appreciate the ASUS for its wide color coverage, offering vivid and accurate colors which is crucial for precision work, whereas the Lenovo has decent color representation but isn't as extensive as the ASUS, making it a second choice for color-critical work. When it comes to gaming and 3D applications, both laptops don't excel due to lower refresh rates which are essential for smooth motion; however, they are still usable for casual gaming or less demanding 3D tasks.

"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."

"Even after a short time with the LOQ 15, you'll find it has a lot going for it, but ultimately it's just "good"—not quite a star. The performance is respectable for the hardware it’s running, but Lenovo had to make some design sacrifices to trim the price. One of the better aspects is the keyboard, making it one of the better low-cost gaming laptops to actually put your hands on."
