If you need a laptop with a high-resolution touchscreen and excellent color reproduction for tasks like photo editing, the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is a strong option. However, its portability is limited due to its weight and size. On the other hand, the MSI Vector GP76 offers a significantly higher screen refresh rate, which is better for gaming and watching fast-paced videos, despite having lower screen resolution and color accuracy. It's also heavier and thicker, which affects its portability. Both laptops have similar performance capabilities, but the ASUS has a slightly longer battery life. The ASUS tends to cost less than the MSI, but if gaming aesthetic and higher refresh rates are a priority, the MSI could be the better choice. Give Feedback

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."

"The MSI Vector GP76 12UGS is a gaming laptop on speed. The advantages are clear: The Vector GP76 is a real gamer with its 360 Hz display and super-fast response times. In addition, the Core i7-12700H has double the power of the CPU in its predecessor and another highlight is the Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti with a real power consumption of 150 watts. This places the device in the top range of our database. The Vector can also operate rather quietly, offers a full sound range, improved battery runtimes, a key-configurable RGB keyboard, a very stable chassis and good upgrade options. Moreover, the display produces a nice, rich and clear picture."
