The Asus Zenbook Duo is a great laptop with a dual-screen 17-inch display, an included standalone keyboard, and all the functionality of a normal laptop. Best of all, the Zenbook Duo only costs $1,500, hundreds cheaper than other dual-screen laptops that have been released.
The dual-OLED touch-enabled displays are joined together with a hinge mechanism, so the laptop feels like a dual-display PC. The detachable keyboard and active stylus expand its functionality so you don’t have to rely on the touchscreen, and if you layer the keyboard on the lower display, the Zenbook Duo turns into a traditional 14-inch laptop.
Like with any newer tech, it does come with some downsides. The Zenbook Duo’s performance is fine for average productivity tasks, but it’s not exceptional for the price you pay. Similarly priced traditional laptops like the Apple MacBook Air M3 or Acer Swift X 14 are much more powerful.
The only laptop like the Zenbook Duo is the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i (2023). Compared to the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i, the Asus Zenbook Duo has a lower-resolution display, but it’s slightly more powerful. On the other hand, if you’re itching for an uninterrupted canvas, the Asus Zenbook Fold 17 OLED and the Lenovo Yoga Thinkpad X1 Fold are worth considering.
If the idea of always having two displays at your fingertips excites you, the Zenbook Duo is a reasonable choice despite its flaws. It may not excel in performance or ergonomics, but it does well enough to hold its own against more conventional alternatives.
