"We have seen quite a number of laptops bearing mind-blowing flexible screens that fold or roll, and while they do help push the envelope of laptop design, they might be the future, but it is definitely not yet here. Foldables still scratch easily and are expensive, rollables are at a concept stage, and both rely on technology that is impressive in a demo booth but nerve-wracking when you actually need to get work done and cannot afford downtime or repair bills."
"The dual-screen design sported by the new Zephyrus Duo and Zenbook DUO uses two independent but connected screens, practically dual monitors connected by a hinge. They are conventional, rigid OLED panels, so none of the soft, scratch-prone flexible displays of foldables. It feels almost like a normal laptop, just one that has a second monitor permanently attached, hinged, and ready to be stood up, laid flat, or folded back int"
Flexible and rollable laptop screens offer extra screen space but remain fragile, expensive, and immature for dependable work. Foldables scratch easily and rollables are largely conceptual, making them risky for users who need consistent uptime. ASUS and ROG present Zephyrus Duo 2026 (GX561) and Zenbook DUO 2026 (UX8407) with two independent rigid OLED panels and conventional hinges to increase reliability. The dual-screen approach functions like two connected monitors, enabling standing, flat, or reversed positions while avoiding soft, scratch-prone displays. Software layouts treat the second display as a workflow multiplier, emphasizing productivity over novelty.
