Pros and Cons

Asus ZenBook Duo 14 UX482

Strengths

The idea of two screens in a laptop is definitely interesting, especially for content creator style workloads where you can actually benefit from more screen space.
Maximum portability is covered by the smaller size.
Improved software integration with Adobe applications was great to see.
Unique designs like this that no one else is doing are always good to see.
The Intel Xe graphics are capable of running games, even at 1080p for esports titles.
Adobe Premiere video exporting doesn't do as well when compared to other laptops with discrete AMD or Nvidia graphics, but still similar to other Tiger Lake systems.
The i7-1165G7 has excellent single core performance in Cinebench and Photoshop, making it a great processor for content creators.
The 1tb NVMe M.2 SSD performs well in Crystal Disk Mark.

Weaknesses

The keyboard is located down the front, which may be uncomfortable for some users.
The touchpad is smaller than usual and may take getting used to.
AA titles at 720p are only possible with reduced settings on this laptop.
DaVinci Resolve performance is heavily dependent on GPU and Intel Xe graphics can't keep up with laptops with discrete GPUs.
MicroSD card slot performance was lower compared to other laptops even with a fast V90 card.
The price of the i5 configuration starts at $1000 USD, which may be higher than expected for some users.
The MX450 model is likely to be more expensive than the configuration tested.
The fan noise can be slightly louder in balanced mode and performance mode.

Asus ROG Strix SCAR 15 G533

Strengths

A total upgrade from the G532 with a lot of exciting features and gaming firepower to offer for what it is priced at.
The design updates are really good, making it look very presentable on a workspace.
The 15.6 inch full HD display with 300Hz refresh rate panel has excellent color accuracy and brightness.
The loudspeaker is one of the best I've heard on a gaming laptop, sounding better than MacBook Pro speakers.
The keyboard layout is great with dedicated volume keys and a microphone mute button.
The trackpad has good tracking performance and capacitive numpad which doesn't accidentally turn on when typing.
The ROG Keystone saves system profiles and enables a hidden secure drive for storing files (useful for owners of other ROG gaming systems).
The laptop's battery life is hands down the best I've ever come across, lasting 7 hours in power saving mode.

Weaknesses

The scalper prices of GPUs are extremely expensive and don't make sense to pay for.
There's still no webcam on this laptop (but a smartphone camera can be used as a workaround).
The keyboard area remains pretty cool even when the laptop is on full load.
The fans dissipate heat through the left and right vents, causing discomfort when gaming.
CPU temperatures average around 67°C in performance mode.
No USB ports are available on the right side, requiring dongles for connecting devices.
There's no teleport support on the USB-C port on the rear (although charging over USB PD is supported).
Microsoft's Flight Simulator scored an average of 37 frames per second on high-end graphics settings.
