The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 offers high performance, ideal for intensive tasks like video editing or gaming. It has a dual-screen setup that can boost productivity but adds to its weight, reducing portability. As it's also less expensive, it's a good fit for users who need power and can handle bigger laptops. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, on the other hand, is lightweight and versatile, with a convertible design that suits professionals on the go. It's more expensive and might not match the ZenBook's performance, but if portability and a flexible form factor are top priorities, it offers significant value. Give Feedback

The ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo 15 has a better screen than the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 offers a vibrant, high-resolution display that excels in clarity and color range, making it ideal for engineering and design tasks that require precise color representation and detail, but its lower refresh rate detracts from the smooth visuals preferred in gaming and 3D applications. Conversely, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga provides a quality display with ample resolution and brightness useful for everyday tasks and design work, yet it similarly falls short for gaming due to its modest refresh rate. Both laptops cater well to professional environments where color accuracy and sharp visuals are paramount, but gamers and 3D developers should look elsewhere for screens designed for the high frame rates their applications demand.

"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 ThinkPad X1 Titanium is a showcase of what Lenovo thinks business computing will look like in the near future. People want thinner, lighter laptops with high-quality screens and enough computing power to get their work done. The X1 Titanium achieves these goals with some controversial but innovative design choices, including a redesigned keyboard and a pared-down port selection."
