If you need high performance for tasks like video editing, 3D rendering, or gaming, and appreciate innovative features like a dual-screen setup, the Asus ZenBook Pro Duo 15 offers that at a higher cost and with less portability due to its size and weight. On the other hand, if you're looking for a laptop for general use, prioritize battery life, need something easier to carry around, and are budget-conscious, the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 provides a more cost-effective and portable solution, although it may not handle intensive tasks as well as the Asus.

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."

"We like a lot about this laptop. It has many ports, with the inclusion of RJ45-Ethernet as a defining feature. WWAN is upgradable for maximum flexibility and the ThinkPad has many security functions. Working with the ThinkPad input devices is a lot of fun, and Lenovo puts in a serviceable Low Power panel. The AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 7840U delivers a great performance and does not drain the battery fast. Fan noise and temperatures are nothing special, but also far away from bad. With the user replaceable keyboard, the ThinkPad T14 Gen 4 has a special feature rarely present on most modern laptops."
