ASUS Zenbook DUO Laptop, Dual 14” OLED 3K 120Hz Touch Display, Evo, Intel Core Ultra 9 285H, Intel Arc Graphics, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Windows 11, UX8406CA-PS99T

I'm really quite pleased and impressed with this unit - it has so much versatility and the build quality is excellent. I was a little skeptical about the design of two screens joined together and whether I'd really use that, but this seems to be a huge productivity advantage since I work in a multiscreen environment and am very used to having multiple monitors to view applications on several screens at a time. Now I can just pickup and go without having to pack another portable monitor when working out of the office.One common use for example is to have Copilot running in one screen so that I can ask it questions about the application or coding I'm working on in another screen. Normally on a single screen laptop, I would have to flip back and forth continuously for that. Another is to leave my communications apps (such as Outlook and chat applications) running in one screen while working in the other screen so that I don't have to constantly switch windows to check on communications and lose my train of thought (and can turn off annoying notifications).The OLED screens are also really excellent - they're very vibrant and bright. I thought I'd have difficulty viewing them at 3K resolution, but the 200% text scaling which is recommended in Windows 11 makes them very readable - even more so than my larger 15" + laptops which don't seem to scale as well (they're either too small or too large). I'm also very impressed with the sound, it's very loud and full, so I won't have to bring a sound bar or external speak with me on trips.I'm truly dazzled by the options to control the screens using the Asus Dial & Control panel as well as virtual keyboards. The Bluetooth keyboard that snaps on is amazing too, and has a backlight even when disconnected. Last but not least (I really could go on and on), the pouch that they include serves as a laptop stand too, so you can just pick up the laptop and put it inside the pouch/stand and go.I really can't say enough about how much thought went into the design of this unit for maximum options and uses. (Note I'm reviewing this as part of a 90 day warranty extension offer, but I felt compelled to share my satisfaction regardless).

The ASUS Zenbook Duo UX8406 is not just a laptop; it’s a game-changer that redefines what portable computing can be. With its innovative dual 14-inch 3K OLED touchscreens, powerful Intel Core Ultra processors, and a sleek, versatile design, this laptop is a dream for multitaskers, creators, and professionals alike. Intel Core Ultra 9 285H processor with an AI Boost NPU, 32GB of LPDDR5x RAM, and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, handled everything I threw at it—from video editing to light gaming—without breaking a sweat. The Intel Arc graphics provide a surprising punch for creative tasks, though this isn’t a gaming rig. The laptop’s AI capabilities shine in tasks like real-time video effects and optimized power management, making it a forward-thinking choice for the AI-driven future.Pros:Dual 14-inch 3K OLED touchscreens are gorgeous and versatilePowerful Intel Core Ultra 9 with AI capabilitiesImpressive battery life for a dual-screen deviceDetachable keyboard and stylus enhance flexibilitySturdy build with a clever kickstandCons:Speakers lack depthSlightly heavier than single-screen ultraportables (but worth every extra for the productivity!)Reflective screens can be tricky in bright light (I use Matte screen protectors and this is a great addition)This is my everyday laptop for work and for home. I have a separate gaming pc with an RTX GPU. That said, this can run GTA V Enhanced no problem and even Stalker 2 at low settings. This by far is Asus's best creation so far for productivity yet.

This is everything it is advertised to be. It works well as a dual monitor device with external mouse. I can play Everquest on on screen and read emails or search the web on the second, or even "2-box" Everquest. It is very slim and fits well in my briefcase. One item to check for is that your USB will charge it. Connecting a USB-C cable from an iPhone cube does not work as they don't provide enough power. The power adapter it comes with works fine. My 3.1 amp adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D5GTP2Q7?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_5 works also has multiple outputs and saves space in my travel case. I don't know what the minimum power output is to have it show as charging or whether connecting to a "cube" at least reduces the discharge rate. Speed is fine even though I didn't have time to wait for the model with the faster processor. Being able to use Excel, Word, etc. and use applications that do not support iOS when traveling is a major upgrade from my iPad.
