I tried Asus' latest ZenBook Duo, and it's a dual-screen laptop I'd finally use full time
"The Asus ZenBook Duo (2026) features two 14-inch OLED touchscreens with a 2,880 x 1,800-pixel resolution (2.8K), a 144Hz refresh rate, and up to 1,000 nits peak brightness for supported HDR content. Each of them are in a 16:10 aspect ratio, which is the same as the M4 MacBook Air's display. This year, Asus expanded the screens to minimize bezels near the hinge, offering a 93% screen-to-body ratio and a more immersive experience. There's still a thick bar at the top to house the Windows Hello-supported camera. However, it is a more immersive screen overall."
"The company also worked on the detachable Bluetooth keyboard to include a larger trackpad and increased key travel. I haven't typed on it for more than five minutes, but it should be more comfortable to type on than its predecessor. Like other ZenBook laptops, the ZenBook Duo (2026) is made out of the company's proprietary Ceraluminum material. This helps it offer an anti-scratch, anti-wear, and smudge-free finish, while keeping the weight in check. It measures 1.65kg in weight and 14.6mm in thickness (without the keyboard). It is slightly thicker at its thickest point due to a new hinge design."
Asus updated the ZenBook Duo design with a sturdier build, a better kickstand, an enhanced hinge, and a larger battery while reducing overall footprint. The laptop uses two 14-inch 2.8K OLED touchscreens at 144Hz, each with a 16:10 aspect ratio, up to 1,000 nits peak brightness for HDR, and a 93% screen-to-body ratio with minimized bezels near the hinge. The detachable Bluetooth keyboard now has a larger trackpad and increased key travel. Construction uses proprietary Ceraluminum for scratch and smudge resistance, and the chassis measures 1.65kg and 14.6mm without the keyboard. Two variants ship with Intel Core Ultra 7 355 or Core Ultra 9 386H, both paired with 32GB LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD.
