ASUS Zenbook Duo - The Best Dual Screen Laptop! 

What do you guys think of the new look of the ASUS Zenboook Duo?

This laptop would be perfect for business travel. I can picture having virtual meetings on one screen and the documents on the other.

this is it, this is the design i have been waiting for. Traders around the world rejoice!

I have the zenbook duo half screen and it's perfect for me. Not sure how often I personally would need two full screen displays but for content creators and business folk who often multi-task, I can see this as essential. Awesome

Dang, very tempting now as I had reservations with the previous reservation with the folio bit.

The best review till now of this laptop. Thanks Matt. Very tempting. I am always using multi monitor setups. I am with the LG Gram 16 and the LG portable monitor for light work, I use 3 portable monitors in total when travelling and I am too used to the 16inch screens now. Still looks an amazing product.

Nice job Matt as always

OMGOMGOMG 🤩 Asus has now come up with their answer to the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i 😁👍, I am soooo looking forward to this Matt 😍. I'm a Project Manager and God knows there aren't enough screens in front of us to help us manage meetings, chats and deliverables😅, so a dual screen laptop is a God-send spesh when we have to be onsite / in transit. Thanks for linking us the Asus site, I'm pouring over the Tech Specs now. btw, can you give us your initial feedback on this dual screen Asus versus the Lenovo version? I'm keen on your perspective spesh you now handled both and I'd like to hear your pros/ cons in both (even if just an overview since the Asus version is still pre-Prod)

I have the Yoga book 9i. Definitely jealous of the ease of setup. Though I also feel it kind of sucks it only folds flat and not 360 for tent mode or tablet mode.

this would basically mirror my desktop setup with 2 stacked displays on the go. I have a mobile 15" external display, but for years I was single-screen guy, as I could never find it in me to have screens side by side, it was distracting, uncomfortable. If I don't have to lug around additional stand to prop up the external display on top of the laptop, and have the same workflow when I am working from a hotel room or some random office, that would be worth to try this one, even though I and Asus don't seem to go along. So far every single Asus product failed me, 2 laptops and 1 monitor in the past 4-5 years, all went back under warranty within 2 to 6 months. That's also the reason why I didn't try the previous letterbox zen duo laptops, however tempting it was.

This is PERFECT for trading. MT5 and Tradingview on either screen.

Thanks for this post 👍🏾. I’d love a dual screen machine and my thoughts are this looks very polished, great screen size and a competitive price. However I like the clean look and teal colour of the Yoga Book 9i. I think the sensible decision would be to take better value with the Asus but Lenovo’s take looks so sleek. Great time for mobile tech at the moment. I was a Big Mac person but love the creativity a lot of windows devices are bringing.

I cannot escape from this laptop

So same guts as the MSI Claw? I have the YB9i and haven't used it much as I haven't travelled much. I have a Uperfect 4K lapdock that I've tried using to give me three monitors (leaving the lenovo keyboard behind). Nice to see the different strategy used by Asus, price is also good too.

I think someone should do a video about the difference in performance between the low pwered ram LPDDR5 and the normal one DDR5 to see what we are missing with it

Looks amazing!

Nice. Can the stand's angle be adjusted?

I wonder if the new iGPU is good enough for video editing unless you have lots After Effects?

Can you leave the keyboard at home and fold it up to take it with you or does it leave a big gap between?

MatthewMoniz and dave2D duking it out dropping CES content xD

Can you leave the keyboard at home and just fold it up or does that leave a big gap?

Hi, can the 2 screens work as 1 large screen in portrait desktop mode? e.g. showing one very wide excel file across the 2 screens vertically?

The ASUS Zenbook DUO and Rog Zephyrus G16 were the first laptop I wanted in the past and now that I am looking for a laptop and that they made a 2024 version I am so hype however I can't decide which one to take now especially since I am going to use the laptop both when I use it to run the rog swift oled pg32ucdm and I will go to my grandparent I plan to also use it for digital art so a 2.5k and 6k (3k each) is awesome but then there is also the g16 with the 240hz and since I always played on low fps and on 60hz I really don't know which one to pick either way the one that I get I will go for a max spec any suggestions for now?

I indeed prefer Lenovo's approach except for the touchpad solution, which seems better here (although I'd probably carry a mouse).

If they had a matte screen I'd buy right now

dream laptop for traders...

An hdmi or any other video input would have made this that much better! Imagine using it as two different systems in tent mode.

Can you read a book in portrait mode? (One page on the left, the following page on the right)

Do you know the duo screen battery life?

Would be great if they manage to stick a egpu to that stand 🤔

How do share screens and make both screens become one view. Thanks

I'm wondering if Zephyrus Duo will be the same. 🤔

I'm really eyeing this thing because on paper it looks like incredible value in terms of specs and features for the price, but the latter also has me concerned for long-term battery life and heat management.

Did asus communicate when it will be available? because sometimes they anounce something on ces andit takes a year before it is in the stores...

more power, better screen and better keyboard than yoga book 9i but I wish it has surface like hinge and kickstand (up to 170 degree)! price seems to be reasonable but it start with i5! Microsoft should follow this direction if they want to keep surface line really! I think you can use the sleeve as stand for keyboard too!

Should I keep my alienware x17r2, 32gb ram, qhd 17.3 inch screen, 3070ti nividia dGPU or sell it and get this 2024 dual screen zenbook with only iGPU, I dont really need the dGPU on the x17r2 and this duo 2024 looks great for productivity, writing and media consumption?

Does it have webcam privacy cover?

I can’t wait for Dell to release a XPS in this form factor

Can I assume the Pro Duo lineup will have a refresh in 2024 as well? 🤨

Is it possible to install Windows 10?

Its really awesome!

This is it this is my next daily driver. I was this close on getting the lenovo but couldn't get around the fact that the keyboard and stand needs to be stored separately. Asus really knocked it out of the park.

Biggest issue with yogo9i was the fact that it's a 16GB soldered on memory with no option for 32GB on a dual screen laptop which seems to be designed for multi tasking

APPLE REALLY WISH THEY MADE THIS PIECE OF ART. THIS IS ON THE NEXT LEVEL GUYS.. I WILL BUY THIS OVER A MACBOOK EVERYDAY

'Obviously' ... not as many as a Karl Conrad video, but getting there, obviously 😀

Can two people work with touch each using just one screen? A pity it does not have tent mode Apple, are you taking notes? Makes an iPad, that can click on a second display at one side and a keyboard on top of the screen like this. And a macbook that is exactly like this including the stand. If not, I am buying this!

As someone with a Duo 14, I was almost jealous of the two full screens, until I saw it just has iGPU.

VERY cool laptop.

trabajo haciendo videos para redes sociales. Me aconsejarias comprarla para trabajar ?

Needs the Asus calculator touchpad

this concept would be better if it was a 2-in-1 360 degrees laptop

This is really cool but there are some things that are missed. 1. The angle of the display is a bit too big in book stand. 2. Keyboard needs raiser it is just too flat to have a comfortable typing experience. 3. Unfortunately it doesn’t fold completely to use in tent mode or just single monitor mode. I will wait for the next iteration I guess but nevertheless really cool

I think the problem with this concept is that most users tend to have screens in landscape orientation next to each other, not portrait orientation next to each other, or landscape orientation one above the other. Plus, the trend in recent years seems to be for folk going for ultra wide monitors to get rid of the bezel between two side by side monitors.

Can you connect external gpu to it?

Oh I could HAIR that blow dryer alright. Afterwards, not so much. Noice.

U pointed the blow dryer backward.

The price in Spain 2,500€ 1TB 32G Ram Core 9 Ultra Windows Home/ Pro I didn't see 2TB in Spain yet if there is a better price and will ship to Spain please tell me

Surely you'd need to make use of this more then 10-20% of the time to be okay with the comprises.

I am also reviewing this laptop for my channel. Video will be out very soon

Dang Asus is sponsoring everyone on this laptop to get the word out 😂

Windows to this day is still not fluent in transitioning from 1 orientation to the next 🤷🏾‍♂

How much is it?

They have to come out wit a version like what they did with the Zephyrus produo! 1. It needs to me 15.6-17"... i know that it will be heavier 2. 1080pm is sufficient to the average consumer. 3. It needs dedicated graphics.... 4. The top screen can be just as thin, just bigger

We have had a couple of Zenbook Pro Duo I9 since 2022 and absolutely love it. Asus just keep coming with creative new ideas and implementing ground breaking technology. Nobody can keep up with them especially in that price range. All the office work, multimedia, music and video production, watching 4K on a beautiful OLED screen and they are so quiet! For right handed people the keyboard on the bottom works incredibly well and it's very comfortable and ergonomic. Thank you for an great review of this new well designed laptop.

better setup than yoga 9i

almost there.....

With the advancements in cloud gaming not all that bad at gaming

Not sure why they didn't stick. Battery in bottom and top. And needs a dgpu 4060.ultimate portable workstation

I look forward to you reviewing this laptop when your not being paid to say good things about it.

I want to get this but honestly Lenovo did some things better. Hate that this isn't flat, no tent mode as well. Niggling other things. I'm now 50/50 on this. Hmmm.. PS As a righty I still prefer the keyboard orientation that is more compact and brings me closer to the screens.

I guess there's a target for these devices, I personally don't see me use using one.

nice Acer Iconia 6120 jokes aside, this probably gets worse battery life...

Why doesnt this come with a dedicated gpu…whyyyyy 😭

All I need for something like this would be replaceable RAM, IPS instead of OLED and Linux support. @Asus WHY is 32Gb the max configuration and it's even soldered, if you really want to solder memory, give me at least 64Gb of it!

if only it had a trackpoint...

Asus is best for Laptop

it looks clunky and nowhere near as sleek as the lenovo yoga book 9i. But I guess that makes the asus easier to repair than the lenovo

Dude doing his taxes in January? Did you even get your T4 yet?

Im just gonna wait for 2025 release.

❤

Most people will be better off with a 16" laptop if they need screenspace (who doesn't). But if you needed 14inch I would consider it.

make this 16" 2k with a 99WHr battery and anti reflection coating and asus will have my money instantaneously

This laptop has bad screen wobble. Funny how you and many other RU-vidrs fail to mention that.

First

As an owner of the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i, setting it up takes less than 5 seconds. Also the keyboard is much better than ASUS' keyboard because there is no useless trackpad (which is a thousand times slower than using the touching the screen, using the pen, or using a mouse).

Matthew reads politics a lot, specifically about russia.

Interesting, no discussion of Lenovo's implementation.

With those specs this thing is nothing more than expensive paperweight
