Asus Zenbook Duo (2026) review: twice as nice - for a price
"The most helpful thing you can add to any laptop for productivity is a second screen. That's why I love laptops like the Asus Zenbook Duo. Its twin 14-inch OLED displays are attached by a redesigned hinge that now holds them closer together and on a single plane, for a more seamless look than previous models. The Zenbook Duo and its nearest rival look odd at first glance, but having a twin monitor setup available to you anywhere is incredibly handy."
"I cover the Zenbook Duo's performance at length in my dedicated Intel Panther Lake review, but the short version is that the Core Ultra X9 388H chip in this laptop is excellent, and it makes the Duo both powerful and power-efficient. It can handle heavy multitasking, breeze through content creation in Adobe apps, and even play games well in 1080p / 1200p resolution. It even delivers near-full-power performance when not plugged in - not often the case for Windows laptops."
Twin 14-inch OLED displays deliver a portable dual-monitor setup via a redesigned hinge that holds both panels closer and on a single plane for a more seamless look. The 2026 Zenbook Duo adds Asus' textured Ceraluminum coating, a much larger 99Wh battery, and an Intel Panther Lake Core Ultra X9 388H CPU. A review configuration with 32GB RAM and 1TB storage is priced at $2,299.99. The Core Ultra X9 388H provides strong, power-efficient performance for heavy multitasking, Adobe content creation, and 1080p/1200p gaming. The battery sustained over 14 hours in a rundown test and supports typical eight-to-nine-hour workdays using both screens.
