I've been using the Microsoft Surface Go 3 for several years now. It originally cost around $700 and was sufficient for my mobile streaming needs. Now I need to invest about $2,000 in a more powerful laptop, but I'm struggling to choose between different models. Both the Asus Zenbook Duo and the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i 2 in 1 have dual screens, but I'm also looking at the Surface Pro 11 and the Dell Latitude 7330, which is rugged. I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 with an Otterbox Defender case, which I use frequently. While it works well for me, it doesn’t match Windows’ capabilities. Laptops don’t come with cases, so I’m used to handling them carefully and using them less often. A 7730 would be portable, but its performance would be lower. I have an Otterbox for the Surface Go 3, but it seems Otterbox has stopped releasing cases for the Surface recently. That leaves me deciding between the dual-screen options. Anyone know what others think or have experience with these models?

When using the software, you should use a MacBook. For $2000, an M3 Pro 14" is available. Also, make sure to take care of your belongings.
