There's only so big you can make the screen on something that has to slide into a backpack, so Asus has decided to double up instead.
When closed, the Zenbook Duo OLED (2024) looks like any other premium laptop, and when you open it up you might not initially twig that it has two screens rather than one. The keyboard sits right where you'd normally find one, and is held firmly in place with magnets. Slide it off, though, and that second screen - a full-scale affair, not like the discreet strip on the Zenbook Pro 14 Duo OLED-bursts into life. You can then pop the keyboard wherever's comfortable (it connects via Bluetooth and charges through pogo pins), or put it to one side and type using the on-screen one instead.
My top-spec review unit was fitted with a 16-core Intel Core Ultra 9 185H processor, paired with 32GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD, making this a rather potent ultraportable on paper. Both 14in touchscreens have 120Hz refresh rates, peak brightness of 500 nits, and 2880x1800 resolutions, though the base model makes do with Full HD 60Hz panels.
