ZenBook Pro Duo review: ASUS makes a case for dual-screen laptops

The ZenBook Pro Duo makes it clear that secondary screens could be tremendously useful in laptops. It's not for everyone, but if you're a productivity hound used to working across multiple displays on desktops, the Pro Duo could be the laptop that...

Gorgeous OLED screen ; ScreenPad Plus works well for multitasking ; Powerful hardware ; Excellent keyboard

ScreenPad Plus could be taller ; Heavier and thicker than the competition ; So-so battery life with both screens

Asus ZenBook Duo review: two screens, too many compromises

You need to really want the second screen.

Useful extra screen ; 10-hour battery life ; Stylus support

Sharp fold-under hinge ; Clunky touchpad ; No Thunderbolt 3 ; Weak GPU isn’t worth it

The Asus Zenbook Duo has two displays: a 14-inch 1080p matte screen and a 12.6-inch IPS panel called the ScreenPad 2.0. The Zenbook Duo is the best laptop if you must have more than one display — just make sure you really want the extra screen.

Asus ZenBook Pro Duo

The Asus ZenBook Pro Duo is a thoughtful, albeit pricey, reinvention of the laptop, with a second screen in the keyboard base and an Intel Core i9 processor that should appeal to creative professionals with resource-intensive workflows.

Unique ScreenPad Plus second display simplifies workflows. Main display is an OLED panel. Excellent design and build quality. Intel Core i9 and Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 offer computing muscle. Included stylus and wrist rest.

Cramped keyboard and touchpad. No SD card reader. Heavy. Short battery life.

Bottom Line: The Asus ZenBook Pro Duo is a thoughtful, albeit pricey, reinvention of the laptop, with a second screen in the keyboard base and an Intel Core i9 processor that should appeal to creative professionals with resource-intensive workflows.

Asus ZenBook Pro Duo UX581 review: Unique design, but beware the trade-offs Review | ZDNet

The ZenBook Pro Duo's full-width secondary ScreenPad Plus shows admirable commitment to innovation, but squeezing it into the chassis has consequences for ergonomics and battery life.

Full-width secondary IPS touchscreen ; Superb 4K OLED main touchscreen ; Core i9 CPU, Nvidia GeForce RTX GPU ; Wi-Fi 6 support

Poor battery life ; Separate add-on wrist rest ; Awkwardly located touchpad ; Short on ports and slots ; Heavy ; Expensive
