Tested on June 7, 2021

In short: the ZenBook Pro DUO is a niche laptop, designed for those with special demands and a tailor-made budget. The two touch screens, one of which is OLED, are the main aspect can make the series an interesting choice for a high-performance and mobile workstation. At the same time, dual-screen design attracts some trade-offs such as ergonomics and portability, and partially older hardware specifications, coupled with high prices and especially with the existence of competitive alternative dual-screen ROG Zephyrus DUO in the range of at Asus at the moment, there are aspects to consider by potential buyers.

As I said in the introduction, the ZenBook Pro DUO series is an atypically built one, which implements two screens: a main one, standard, and a secondary one, in ultrawide format, placed in the place where most laptops of the moment offer the keyboard. As a result, the keyboard is moved to the bottom of the chassis, and the clickpad to the right.
