The Asus Zenbook Duo takes a fresh approach to providing a dual-display laptop's flexibility. Its low-end configuration is also a phenomenal value.
Asus Zenbook Duo MSRP $1,500.00 Score Details DT Recommended Product “The Asus ZenBook Duo is easily the best dual-screen laptop ever made.” Pros Cons Laptops with foldable or dual screens are no longer a gimmick. And the Asus Zenbook Duo is proof of that.
I’ll get into more differences between these laptops below, but based on price alone, Asus offers the more attractive machine. I reviewed both Zenbook Duo configurations, and as we’ll see, the entry-level model is the most attractive. However, it’s not one large, seamless display like foldable PCs. Notably, the form factor doesn’t work as a standard tablet, although its displays both support active pens, and its second display can be used for digital drawing and handwriting when the keyboard is removed. None of the laptops can comfortably be used in hand like lighter, simpler tablets.
The Zenbook’s physical touchpad, although mechanical , was preferable to Lenovo’s software version. And when used in desktop mode, the Yoga Book 9i requires an external mouse. Overall, I’d rate the Zenbook Duo as the best dual-screen laptop I’ve used in clamshell and stacked modes, but it’s not as good in desktop mode.

The FHD+ version had slightly better colors on its primary panel, at 100% of both sRGB and AdobeRGB and 99% of DCI-P3 versus 96% of AdobeRGB and 100% of DCI-P3 for the secondary panel. Accuracy was lower than some OLED panels at a DeltaE of 1.37 and 1.07 , respectively, and brightness was good, but not great at 371 and 365 nits. Blacks were perfect on both, with incredibly high contrast. The 2.
In our CPU-intensive benchmarks, the Core Ultra 9 was faster than the Core Ultra 7, but not by much. Strangely, its score in the PCMark 10 Complete benchmark was considerably lower. Either the chipset’s just not much faster or the Zenbook Duo can’t take advantage of it, as thermal throttling happens earlier and more often.
