Asus has once again pushed the boundaries of innovation with the unveiling of the latest Zenbook Duo model at CES 2024. This ultraportable laptop introduces a striking upgrade, featuring dual 14-inch touchscreen displays adorned with captivating OLED panels, ensuring an unparalleled visual experience with vivid colors and high contrast. Weighing just under three pounds without the keyboard, the Zenbook Duo remains a lightweight powerhouse designed for on-the-go productivity, further enhanced by AI-enabled applications that streamline daily tasks.
Building upon the successful design of its predecessor, the Zenbook Duo maintains a balanced and detachable keyboard, providing users with a comfortable typing experience. The peculiar identity of the device, straddling the line between a traditional clamshell laptop and an innovative 2-in-1, captures attention and curiosity. The dual 14-inch OLED touchscreens boast a 3K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, offering an expansive 19.8-inch workspace when fully extended, catering to various tasks such as office work, videoconferencing, and more. The flexibility to use the screens in both vertical and horizontal orientations adds to the versatility of this unconventional yet attention-grabbing machine.
Under the hood, the Zenbook Duo doesn’t compromise on performance. Equipped with 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 powerful computing experience. The robust 75Wh battery ensures extended usage, complemented by a convenient 1080p webcam and pogo-pin connectors that simplify the attachment of the detachable keyboard. The innovative virtual keyboard, neatly fitting between the dual screens when not in use, adds a touch of convenience to the overall user experience.
For those mindful of their environmental footprint, the Zenbook Duo (2024) is a commendable choice. Crafted from recycled materials, including a substantial 90 percent of post-industrial magnesium-aluminum alloy, and packaged in 100 percent recyclable FSC MIx-certified paper, Asus showcases a commitment to sustainability.
The Zenbook Duo (2024) is set to launch in Q1, with pricing details eagerly anticipated and updates promised as soon as information becomes available from Asus’ representatives.
