The ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 is a powerhouse designed for demanding tasks like 3D rendering, machine learning, and engineering, with its high-performance Intel i9 processor and Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti GPU, making it suitable for intensive gaming. Its dual-screen OLED display with 4K resolution offers vibrant colors and deep blacks, ideal for professionals who need color accuracy and a high refresh rate for fast-moving visuals. However, this performance and screen quality come with a higher price tag and a bulkier design, which may not be as portable as you need.
On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 14 is a versatile 2-in-1 convertible with a midrange price point, offering a balance between performance and portability. Its Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor and Adreno 750 GPU are capable of handling general use and light gaming, with an OLED screen that provides excellent color reproduction and brightness. The device is lighter and thinner, making it easier to carry around for everyday tasks. While it may not match the ASUS in raw power for heavy-duty tasks, it's a strong contender if you prioritize portability, versatility, and a touchscreen experience.
Consider the ASUS if you need top-tier performance and don't mind a heavier, more expensive laptop. Opt for the Samsung if you want a more portable and affordable device that can adapt to various use cases, including tablet mode, without compromising on screen quality. Give Feedback

How the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 and the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 14 compare to other laptops
"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."
