Considering your needs and budget, the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is a premium choice with its powerful processor, ample memory, advanced graphics card, and high-resolution OLED screen, which makes it ideal for intensive tasks like 3D rendering, machine learning, gaming, or engineering software. Its dual-display feature enhances multitasking, but it’s heavier and less portable. Conversely, the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" is significantly more affordable and lighter, making it easy to carry around, with a decent screen for everyday tasks like browsing, office applications, and media consumption, but it's less suited for demanding tasks due to its basic processor and minimal memory. Your choice should align with your primary activities and your budget, balancing performance needs against cost and portability. Give Feedback

The ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo 15 has a better screen than the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
For general use, the Asus ZenBook Pro Duo 15 offers a sharper and brighter display with better colors that make details pop, likely due to a high-quality panel and higher resolution, which the Packard Bell Cloudbook doesn't match with its lower resolution and dimmer screen. In engineering and design, the Asus's advantage grows as it likely boasts a wider color gamut, allowing for more precise color work, which professionals need and the Packard Bell's screen cannot provide. For gaming and 3D work, the Asus's lower refresh rate could hold back the experience where smooth motion is key, despite its other advantages, while the Packard Bell's poor overall screen quality may not satisfy the requirements for either crisp visuals or fluid animation.

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."
