The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 offers higher performance with more storage and RAM, which benefits intensive tasks like 3D rendering, machine learning, and engineering. However, it comes at a higher price and is heavier, making it less portable. Its unique dual-screen OLED setup is excellent for multitasking but compromises battery life. Conversely, the Lenovo Slim 7 16, while more affordable and lighter, has half the storage and RAM, which may limit demanding applications, but it boasts a better battery life and higher portability. Its IPS screen with a higher refresh rate is better suited for fast-motion content and general use. Give Feedback

"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."

"At $1,011, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 Pro is a real bargain among full-sized laptops, with a handsome 16-inch, 16:10 aspect ratio touch screen, a speedy CPU, a comfortable keyboard, ample memory, and a roomy solid-state drive. It's not a blazing gaming rig or mobile workstation, but it doesn't pretend to be. Its biggest negative is that it may be hard to find—during our review, it sold out and was marked "Temporarily Unavailable" on Lenovo's site."
