If you kept up with us during CES 2024, then you already know that ASUS had a big year for new products. CES is one of the largest annual technology trade shows in the country. This year, they had over 4000 big-name exhibitors in attendance. That's why bringing your best gadgets to the showroom floor is a top priority and it's safe to say ASUS did not back down from the challenge. Between their top-notch laptops and advanced gaming smartphones, the brand impressed not only the Abt team but tech experts around the world. Now that their CES debuts are starting to hit our shelves, we're ready to do a deeper dive into their newest gadgets, like the ASUS Zenbook DUO. This product offers a unique take on the classic laptop design we know so well, and we're excited to tell you more about it.

The ASUS Zenbook DUO laptop features dual 14-inch 16:10 touch displays, both with stunning 2880 x 1800 resolution. That's right: dual, meaning two screens. Thanks to the Intel® Arc™ graphics, the smooth 120Hz refresh rate, the 500-nit HDR peak brightness and the Pantone® validated color accuracy, you can expect unparalleled visuals, whether you're gaming, streaming, browsing or working. No matter what kind of content you enjoy most, the imagery on your screens will remain smooth-moving, vibrant and full of rich contrast.

While we've told you about the visual quality of the ASUS Zenbook DUO, you may be wondering why you'd want or need two screens. Especially if you've managed to get by with a standard laptop for all these years. While there are plenty of ways to use a dual-screened laptop, we'd say this design is most appealing to the remote worker, traveler or student. Today, most office jobs use multiple computer monitors to boost workflow and productivity. But if you work from home, you may not want to invest in two monitors for your office. And if your job requires travel, computer monitors do not offer the portability you need to get your tasks done.

The ASUS Zenbook DUO is a fantastic alternative for those with a professional or academic lifestyle. Stack the screens on top of one another with Dual Screen Mode or sit the screens next to one another with Desktop Mode. With the displays working together, you can multitask and visualize your end goals better than ever before. When you're off the clock or when class is over, you can even go online with a friend using Sharing Mode or enjoy a standard single-screen computer experience with Laptop Mode.

While the dual screens set the ASUS Zenbook DUO apart from other laptops, that's not where the amazing features end. Thanks to the Intel® Core™ Ultra 9-185H processor, your computer will provide an extremely powerful performance with support from AI capabilities. Plus, all your most important tasks can be completed at ultra-fast speeds. The 32GB LPDDR5x RAM will allow the laptop to store and retrieve your most important data as quickly as possible. And you won't ever have to worry about running out of storage for your documents, photos and videos with the lofty 1TB SSD.

The Windows 11 operating system on the ASUS Zenbook DUO comes with Copilot too, an AI-powered assistant that can help you with a variety of tasks. Ask Copilot for inspiration, answers to important questions, image generation and more. Copilot is there to take your productivity to the next level. If you plan on using your laptop to stream movies or music, built-in Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos will enhance all image and audio quality so you can enjoy a more immersive watching and listening experience. The laptop also features a 75Wh battery which offers up to 10.5 hours of video playback in Dual Screen Mode and 13.5 hours in Laptop Mode. Even if that power begins to run out, you can rely on Fast-Charge technology to give you the boost you need.

While there's plenty to do on the ASUS Zenbook DUO alone, there are going to be times when you wish to connect an external device. Whether it's a hard drive, headphones or a microphone, one part of shopping for a brand-new laptop is ensuring it offers the connectivity capabilities you use most. This model features one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port, one 3.5mm Combo Audio Jack, one HDMI 2.1 TMDS port and two Thunderbolt 4 ports. Thunderbolt 4 supports power and display delivery for various electronics.

At Abt, we offer several useful computer accessories you can purchase with your ASUS Zenbook DUO, if you so please. But it's also helpful to know what you'll already have once you've opened the box. This laptop includes the charger (of course), a backpack and an ASUS Pen 2.0 SA203H with MPP 2.0 support. The ASUS Pen is built for ultimate compatibility with this screen and can be used like a stylus for writing and drawing. Having this accessory in the box will be super helpful for those who enjoy digital art, journaling, note-taking and more.

In a previous section, we mentioned that the ASUS Zenbook DUO is a great alternative to computer monitors if portability is your priority. With this in mind, it's important that we explore the design of the laptop and how it benefits all kinds of computer users, including students and travelers. This product weighs in at a light 3.64 pounds and it's only 0.78 inches thin, so it can fit into a wide array of backpacks and bags for easy carrying.

Even if you're worried about compact packing needs for your next vacation, the laptop features a Bluetooth keyboard that's completely detachable so you can save extra space. Plus, the ASUS Zenbook DUO has a built-in kickstand so you won't need to prop your screens up at the airport or in class. While the build of this laptop is small, it's also mighty. The durable construction of the computer meets MIL-STD 810H military standards, meaning it can withstand all kinds of harsh conditions. No more worrying about accidental bumps permanently damaging your technology!
