Our Verdict

The MacBook Pro M4 Pro is the safer bet for most creators. It offers double the battery life, completely silent operation, and a flawless traditional keyboard for $300 less. However, if your workflow heavily relies on timeline editing or multi-layered design and you constantly crave a second monitor on the go, the ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 Duo with its genuinely useful ScreenPad Plus is an incredible niche powerhouse.
