If utmost performance for intensive tasks such as 3D rendering or machine learning is crucial and you prefer a larger, high-resolution touchscreen display, the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is the better option. Its powerful Intel i9 processor and RTX 3070 Ti graphics card suit demanding applications, though it's less portable and heavier than alternatives. On the other hand, if portability and a high refresh rate display for smooth gaming are more important, the Razer Blade 14 would be a better fit. Its AMD Ryzen 9 processor and RTX 4060 graphics card offer good performance for gaming, and it's lighter, making it easier to carry around. However, the Razer Blade 14 has half the RAM of the ASUS, which could limit performance in very memory-intensive tasks. Give Feedback

The ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo 15 has a better screen than the Razer Blade 14 for engineering and design, software development, and content creation, while the Razer Blade 14 has a better screen for gaming and AI.
The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 and the Razer Blade 14 both have high-resolution, bright displays with panel technology that delivers sharp images and vibrant colors, making them ideal for general use and detailed engineering and design work due to their wide color gamuts. However, for gaming and 3D applications, a high refresh rate is critical for smooth motion rendering, which these laptops lack, leading to a less optimal experience in fast-paced scenarios where screen fluidity is paramount. Their focus on resolution and color accuracy over refresh rate caters more to creatives and professionals rather than gamers or those heavily involved in 3D rendering and 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."

Allen Ngo | May 2022
"After making a huge splash with the original 2021 model, it's expected that the 2022 refresh would be more of a minor update to an already impressive machine. It adds a higher resolution webcam (720p to 1080p), faster CPU (Ryzen 9 5900HX to Ryzen 9 6900HX), faster GPU (RTX 3070/3080 to 3070/3080 Ti), faster RAM (DDR4-3200 to DDR5-4800), faster M.2 SSD support (PCIe3 x4 to PCIe4 x4), newer WLAN module (Killer AX1690i to Qualcomm WCN685x), and a MUX switch for the new integrated Radeon 680M GPU. It's indubitably an upgrade especially in terms of single-thread processor performance."
