87.8% Asus Zenbook Duo OLED (2024) convertible review: Multitasking champion with Core Ultra 9 | Notebookcheck
Asus takes multitasking to a new level with the new Zenbook Duo OLED. The versatile laptop impresses with two great 120 Hz OLED screens and a sophisticated operating concept. It also comes with the new Intel Core Ultra 9 185H and 32 GB RAM.
100% Asus Zenbook Duo (2024, UX8406) review: A great laptop for work, rest or play
Source: Expert Reviews English
In fact, it confirms to me that Asus has a bit of a wonder on its hands with the Asus Zenbook Duo. Not only is this the best realisation I have yet come across of the dual-screen laptop concept, it’s also a usable, practical laptop, period. It’s well-made and usable. The two screens serve a genuine purpose – you’ll be more productive and comfortable at your desk – battery life is decent and all-round performance is impressive. Best of all, it’s not as hideously expensive as you might expect it to be, undercutting the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i on price for the cheapest model and laptops like the MacBook Air 15, spec for spec. The best recommendation I can give it is that I would put it right at the top of my shortlist if I had this much to spend on a laptop. If offers something genuinely different at a reasonable price, and if this is the future of mobile working, I’m all in.

100% Asus Zenbook Duo OLED (2024) review: dual screen delight
Source: Stuff TV English
I was amazed how quickly the Zenbook Duo OLED transformed my work habits. Suddenly I wasn’t tied to the desk where my monitor lives; I could move around the house, sit outside, or travel while still enjoying dual-screen productivity. It makes the Zenbook 17 Fold OLED look like a rough draft, and puts other twin-display laptops in the shade. But it’s not just a gimmick, either; if you don’t need a second screen, this behaves just like a traditional machine. There’s no escaping this is an expensive machine, and one I would argue has too powerful a processor for its own good. A Core Ultra 7 would be just as capable for daily duties, though there doesn’t seem to be a variant with both that chip and the higher resolution displays. Not everyone needs a second screen, meaning this is still a niche model – but with very respectable battery life, software tweaks that take full advantage of the form factor, and ample connectivity, this has to be the best laptop of its type.

What if your laptop had two screens? It’s a tantalizing idea (just imagine all the browser tabs you could open!) but, until recently, it felt more like a dream than a useful idea. The 2024 Asus Zenbook Duo (available at Best Buy for $1,699.99) turns that dream into a real computer you can buy at a reasonable price. It’s not perfect and doesn't offer the best performance per dollar, but the Duo successfully delivers on the dual-screen promise.

90% Asus Zenbook Duo (UX8406) Review
Source: PC Mag English
The 2024 Asus Zenbook Duo is a first-class alternative to the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i that last year inspired us to predict the long-term demise of portable monitors as laptop accessories. It has more ports, a lower price, and a newer CPU with Intel's AI enhancements. No, the tablet-cover-style Bluetooth keyboard doesn't feel as snappy as an actual laptop keyboard, but it's not much of a trade-off for the added versatility and working area of dual displays. The Duo decisively wins Editors' Choice honors for dual-screen laptops. If you're focused on maximizing productivity while commuting or traveling for work—and enjoying a high-end mobile movie player when it's time to log off—then definitely consider the Asus Zenbook Duo.

84% ASUS Zenbook Duo (2024) review: The first dual-screen laptop worth buying
Source: Engadget English
OK, so the Zenbook Duo delivers on the promises of dual-screen laptops. But one question I get a lot is who are devices like this actually for? The most obvious application is for people who carry a portable monitor around while traveling. But more generally, this thing is aimed at anyone who appreciates multiple monitors and wants a system that can recreate that experience in a more travel-friendly way, which is something the Zenbook Duo does with aplomb. The best part though is that it doesn’t make major sacrifices to do so, because thanks to its detachable keyboard, it can function just like any other clamshell when space is tight (like on an airplane). When you have room to spread out, it transforms into a portable workstation with plenty of screen space for a project up top and bonus real estate for Slack, email, video calls or anything else you might need down below.

Source: PC World English
The pen has a comfortable grip and provides good control with nice pressure sensitivity and tilt, as long as you use the right drawing program to exploit it, it becomes really professional. You also get a selection of different pen tips that provide different amounts of paper feel to use. The pen needs to be charged via USB-C before pairing with Bluetooth. Unlike the smooth keyboard, which charges and communicates with surface contact when it is in place. With top quality screens, 1800p resolution, full OLED contrast and dynamics, and modes for SRGB, this is an excellent computer for all kinds of media creation. Setting up the Zenbook Duo and editing video on dual screens is something I could quickly become addicted to… if I can afford it. The computer costs $1,499.99. It’s not exactly a budget choice, but it’s perfectly reasonable for what you get and well worth the investment if you’re an ambitious creator who doesn’t feel the need to optimize weight.

ASUS Zenbook Duo 2024 (UX8406) Review
Source: Yugatech English
Among all the laptop manufacturers, only ASUS is one of the few striving to set the bar higher when it comes to dual displays, and the Zenbook Duo 2024 is a testament to that. To be honest, when I showed this to some of my friends in the creative industry during the review period, they were actually surprised by the price for what it offers. Take note, two of them are actually owners of the ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo. That’s why they were surprised by the features it offers. I even asked them before showing this laptop what improvements they wished for in their existing machines. They told me that they hoped it would be lighter, have a larger second display, better battery life, better portability, and be more affordable. Even from experience, I enjoyed the luxury of having more screen real estate.

80% Asus Zenbook Duo (2024) review: A great dual-screen laptop
Source: Laptop Mag English
The Asus Zenbook Duo strives to fulfill a specific purpose and does that exceptionally well. Anyone who needs a new machine with a satisfying keyboard that can seamlessly be swapped into a dual-screen setup for artistic projects will not be disappointed. Alongside exceptionally high performance metrics and solid battery life within a surprisingly affordable package, it is a great pick for artists and creators. But it’s far from perfect, with its least offensive aspects being its underwhelming audio and difficult-to-remove magnetic keyboard. What really sets this laptop back is an OLED display that doesn’t meet our expectations in color, even when compared to non-OLED displays. If you’re on the lookout for a great laptop and can do without the dual-displays, the MSI Prestige AI Evo 16 provides phenomenal performance at a slightly lower cost. Otherwise, we recommend the Zenbook Duo for anyone who loves the appeal of its dual-screen configuration.

But it’s also important to set aside some downtime amid the hustle, and the Zenbook Duo certainly helps in that regard. ASUS’ latest features 3K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 100 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 gamut, so visuals are sharp, smooth, and colour-accurate. There’s just one question: how does the hardware prowess fare in gaming?

100% Asus Zenbook Duo 2024 review: Five-star foldable PC for work
Source: It Pro English
Neither the new Asus Zenbook Duo nor the Lenovo Yoga Book are what you could call cheap, but they both offer compelling visions of what a two-screen laptop can be. Of course, whether or not you want a two-screen laptop depends on your likely usage. If, for example, you need to run a CMS window on one screen and look at your notes on another like I often do, then the benefit is self-evident. Which is the best? Both are high-quality items with excellent screens. The Asus is the more potent by some margin; it has larger screens, a better keyboard, and a better selection of ports, allowing you to use it as a fully-fledged laptop. The Lenovo is smaller, has a more versatile design, and has a better sound system. If you want a dual-screen laptop primarily more for work than play, then the Asus is the one to go for, but if media consumption is your primary requirement, then the smaller, more tablet-like Lenovo just edges it. Since our primary interest here is the work side of things, we're giving the win and five stars to the new Asus.

So, if you’re interested in getting this laptop for yourself, then the price is at RM9,999. This unconventional laptop is surprisingly functional and I actually like how everything works. It’s a great experience and yet this laptop isn’t bulky or heavy either.

The Asus Zenbook Duo is definitely worth it. It's priced at less than $2,000, delivering a rich, multi-screen experience in a market filled with boring single-screen laptops for twice the price. I've said it once and I'll say it again: single-display laptops are now cancelled. After working with the Zenbook Duo, I'm spoiled. How can I work on my MacBook Air, my daily driver, without missing the masterful app-juggling capabilities of the Zenbook Duo?

The Zenbook Duo is an extremely well-built dual-screen laptop with some key advantages. It’s a better dual-screen clamshell laptop than the competitors and a great clamshell laptop in general. It’s also the best at stacking its dual displays in a vertical orientation, thanks to a simple, yet effective built-in kickstand. But it’s not as good in desktop mode. At the same time, the low-end model’s performance is superior to those we’ve tested, with surprisingly good battery life. The high-end configuration, on the other hand, demonstrated inconsistent performance and much worse battery life. So, I can strongly recommend the entry-level model (which is also the best value), with the only caveat being that the OLED displays aren’t quite as sharp. The high-end model, while enjoying higher-resolution displays, doesn’t offer much else to justify its higher price.

Despite the various issues I encountered, I’d still call the Asus Zenbook Duo the best dual-screen laptop, at least so far. I think the product category in general has a lots of room for improvement, so I’m excited to see where future dual-screen laptops go.

Ultimately, the Zenbook Duo manages to be a good laptop and a good dual-screen desktop device in one package. It’s made my in-office days more bearable by allowing me to work on the train like I have a normal laptop, and then when I get to the office I can unfold it into a two-screen productivity powerhouse before packing it back into a laptop mode to head home.

Source: Mezha EN English
The Zenbook DUO (2024) is a compact laptop that can be used both in the classic single-screen mode and transformed into a dual-screen computer for more efficient multitasking. This makes the model very versatile, but most importantly, it has no significant drawbacks that are common in experimental devices. This once again proves that Zenbook DUO (2024) is not some kind of concept from the exhibition, but a completely working solution. Of course, it has room for improvement, as with any first-generation model, but the disadvantages are not significant. The only one is the rather high price, which stems from the manufacturer's use of two OLED screens and a top-of-the-line platform for its class.

Source: Trusted Reviews English
The lure of the Asus Zenbook Duo (2024) lies almost completely in its dynamic duo of displays. To some it’s going to be a massive selling point, transforming a seemingly ordinary 14-inch laptop into a multi-tasking powerhouse. To others, it’s going to seem irrelevant, and closer to a cool but unnecessary gimmick than a serious feature. If you’re in the latter camp there are better and often cheaper options out there. The Acer Swift Go 14 gives you slightly more performance at a lower price tag. Its stablemate, the Swift X 14, is also less expensive and adds a dedicated GPU. The LG Gram 17 gives you excellent performance and an impressive 17-inch screen, while Apple’s MacBook Air 15 is also a real contender for your cash. But none of these can beat the appeal of having two big screens to play with. And while other dual-screen laptops exist such as the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i, they cost a lot more money.

ASUS Zenbook DUO (UX8406) review – Dual OLED Multitasking Masterpiece for Creators
Source: Laptop Media English
The ASUS Zenbook DUO (UX8406) impresses with its excellent performance, a remarkable feat for a dual-screen device. Its cooling system, equipped with two fans and a pair of heat pipes, effectively handles high CPU clocks under short to medium loads. Although the processor faces challenges in maintaining its official base P-core clock during prolonged stress tests, it manages to deliver decent frequencies. Fortunately, chip temperatures remain controlled, and noise levels are minimal. The two fans aren’t noisy even in “Performance mode”. Still, the “Whisper mode” is the way to go for daily tasks – the fans are quiet and the overall performance is also good. Expectedly, the price of the gadget is high and the only downside of the two panels is the PWM usage but the “Flicker-Free Dimming” function in the MyASUS app solves this issue.

When one screen simply won’t do, the latest iteration of the Asus Zenbook Duo is an incredibly well-designed laptop. Its brilliant dual OLED screens shine but it’s the overall design quality that coalesces the concept into a device with endless utility. The built-in kickstand makes it easy to make full use of both displays, while the included Bluetooth keyboard solidifies the experience. Even though the double-display design is the star of the show, the 2024 Zenbook Duo happens to be a strong showcase for the Intel Core Ultra processors. Despite no discrete graphics card, this versatile laptop deftly tackles creative apps and gaming alike. Your only real cause for pause is a $3,999 asking price. It’s an undeniably expensive laptop, albeit justified by the two-screen setup. You’d pay a similar price for a high-end laptop equipped with a top-of-the-line processor once an external monitor or portable display entered the equation.

ASUS Zenbook Duo impressions: Oh my, it's the notebook that excites me the most at CES 2024 (Updated)

ASUS pulled the wraps off their latest model in the Zenbook Duo series at CES 2024, and at first glance, I’m impressed by how sleek-looking the dual-screen notebook is, with a pair of 14-inch displays complemented by a built-in kickstand. To be sure, this isn't ASUS' first rodeo in the dual-screen space, as they've been tinkering with this concept across various models over the past years, including the 2022 gaming-focused ROG Zephyrus Duo 16. What sets the new Zenbook Duo apart is the upsizing of the secondary display to mirror the main screen in size, which is a notable shift from previous iterations’ narrower auxiliary screens, and draws inspiration from the Zenbook Fold series (read our Zenbook Fold 17 OLED review here), which featured a single, large foldable screen.

Asus Zenbook Duo (2024) hands-on review: The refined dual-screen laptop

As a natural skeptic about literally everything, I’ve always been a little jaded towards the idea of a dual-screen laptop or other prototypical ideas. But with the refinements Asus has made to the formula with its Zenbook Duo, I think we’re really onto something here. Some of my concerns persist — that second screen could impact the longevity of that 75Wh battery quite significantly, and Windows 11 is still a little awkward at times when reacting to this orientation-agnostic hardware, regardless of the software tweaks Asus has made. But those concerns will be answered with more hands-on time for a proper review. In the meantime though, I have no hesitation in saying that this is definitely one of the most exciting laptops coming out of CES this year.

ASUS Zenbook Duo hands-on at CES 2024
Source: Engadget English
Between the Zenbook 17 Fold, Project Precog and previous Zenbook Duo machines, it feels like ASUS has been working towards building a true dual-screen laptop for ages. And now at CES 2024, that time has come with the arrival of the simply named Zenbook Duo. Similar to Lenovo’s Yoga Book 9i, the Zenbook Duo features two separate screens and a detachable Bluetooth keyboard that can be stashed inside the system for traveling. The difference is that ASUS’ OLED panels look even better, as they are slightly larger at 14 inches, while also offering a 3K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate and stylus support. Plus, with a starting price of $1,500, it costs $500 less than the Yoga Book and not that much more than your average high-end ultraportable.

Asus Zenbook Duo OLED UX8406 2024 – (dual OLED displays, Meteor Lake)
Source: Ultrabook Review English
I expect this to start at around 1800 EUR in this part of the world. US pricing is set at from $1499 MSRP, UK pricing at £1,699.99. This should be available soon towards the end of January 2024. Anyway, let me spend more time with this design and sum-up my thoughts in a proper review and figure out the aspects that are still unknown for now, such as the performance of this series, its thermal and acoustic behavior with regular use and sustained loads, and what to expect in terms of battery life. Once those are clearer to me, I’ll come back with a better informed conclusion on this Duo. In the meantime, I’d like to hear your thoughts on this 2024 Asus ZenBook Dup UX8406 series, so get in touch down below in the comments section.

First Impressions: Asus Zenbook Duo (2024)

The Asus Zenbook Duo (2024) looks to be one of the most promising dual-screen laptops yet, with a more polished package than its rivals thanks to the full-size keyboard, built-in stand and cutting-edge chip. And with a relatively affordable price, this could well be the laptop to kick off the dual-screen craze.

Asus Zenbook Duo OLED (2024) hands-on review: dual screens done right
Source: Stuff TV English
I only had a short demo of the Zenbook Duo OLED’s abilities, but I was already imagining how it would transform my work habits. It makes the Zenbook 17 Fold OLED look like a rough draft, and has the software tweaks that should hopefully take advantage of the form factor. There’s no escaping this will be an expensive machine, and there are lots of questions still to answer. How powerful will the Intel Ultra 9 CPU be? Can the battery last a day of work while powering two 3K displays? Is the software in place to properly make the most of dual-screen working? With mere months until the laptop goes on sale, I happily won’t be waiting long to find out.

14.00":

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
