The Zenbook Duo is reminiscent of Lenovo’s Yoga Book 9i from last year, featuring shorthand gestures for virtual keyboard access and screen expansion. The laptop’s performance is solid, with fast business app loading and decent graphical capabilities despite the lack of a discrete graphics processor. However, battery life is a downside, lasting just over 5 hours with both screens active.
Powered by an Intel Core Ultra 9 185H CPU, 32 GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD, the Zenbook Duo is relatively compact at 25mm thick and 3.5 pounds with the keyboard. However, the design flaw of one screen sitting behind the other may bother some users.
Priced at $1,700 for a fully loaded configuration, the Zenbook Duo offers a unique dual-screen experience that enhances mobile productivity. Despite the steep price, it is a compelling option for those who struggle with single-screen setups.
