At CES 2024, Asus took the spotlight once again by unveiling the latest iteration of its Zenbook Duo, a groundbreaking ultraportable laptop that challenges conventional design norms. The standout feature of this cutting-edge device lies in its dual 14-inch OLED touchscreen displays, delivering an immersive visual experience with rich colors and high contrast. Weighing just under three pounds (excluding the keyboard) and incorporating AI-enabled applications, the Zenbook Duo is crafted for users who prioritize productivity on the move.
Building on the success of its predecessor, the Zenbook Duo maintains a detachable keyboard that strikes a perfect balance between functionality and comfort. The device’s distinctive appearance, hovering between a traditional clamshell laptop and a futuristic 2-in-1, adds an element of intrigue. The dual 14-inch OLED touchscreens, boasting a 3K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, create a vast 19.8-inch workspace when extended, catering to diverse tasks in both vertical and horizontal orientations.
Beneath its unconventional exterior, the Zenbook Duo packs a punch in terms of performance. Fueled by the latest Intel Core Ultra 7 or 9 H-Series processors, Intel Arc graphics, up to 32GB of RAM, and up to 1TB of SSD storage, it promises a seamless and robust computing experience. The generous 75Wh battery, coupled with a user-friendly 1080p webcam and pogo-pin connectors for the detachable keyboard, enhances the device’s usability. The innovative placement of the virtual keyboard between the dual screens adds a touch of elegance to the overall design.
In a nod to environmental consciousness, the Zenbook Duo (2024) is crafted from recycled materials, with 90 percent of its composition being post-industrial magnesium-aluminum alloy. The packaging is equally eco-friendly, utilizing 100 percent recyclable FSC MIx-certified paper.
Anticipation surrounds the launch of the Zenbook Duo (2024) in Q1, with pricing details eagerly awaited. Updates will be provided as soon as information becomes available from Asus’ representatives.
