The Zenbook Duo 2025 model has been great to use. I travel for work and have often carried a second monitor to work on Outlook, Excel files and PowerPoints. Having this setup streamlines the workflow and makes setting up the laptop so much quicker than plugging in another monitor to HDMI and power. When on the airplane, I use it as a regular laptop and the 14" size is perfect, just slightly bigger than 13" and fits in the workspace. The detachable keyboard is also a huge benefit so you can slide the screens forward and work comfortably. Speed has been great on the unit, I'm coming from a Dell XPS13 that is 3 years old and I find the Asus build quality on par with that brand. Great price also compared to the Dell model. I have the faster processor and noise has been low when the fan is on. I highly recommend this model. Read more

I bought an ASUS laptop and so far it has exceeded my expectations. From the first use you can tell it is well built: it is light, thin and with an elegant design, but at the same time resistant. The performance is excellent: it boots up fast, handles multiple tasks without a problem and runs heavy programs without bogging down, thanks to the processor and the good amount of RAM. The screen has a crisp image quality, ideal for both working and watching multimedia content. The battery life also surprised me: it lasts several hours with moderate use. Another strong point is the cooling system, which prevents it from getting very hot even with prolonged use. All in all, ASUS has left a very good impression on me for its value for money, performance and durability. Recommended. Read more

The 2025 version of this laptop comes with the Ultra 9 285H CPU, which was worth the wait. There are a ton of YouTube video reviews, so I will not go into all of the details - you should definitely watch them first, but here are my pros and cons: Pros: You can use it like a regular laptop, and it is totally stable and the keyboard is *great*. The OLED screens are beautiful and bright (though reflective in bright light). The vertical mode is super stable and easy to get used to. Moving apps between screens is simple, and I have had no problems at all. In "standard" mode, I almost never hear the fans, even with multiple programs running. The system uses a small 65W power brick...any 65W or higher PD brick will be fine. The premium body is not a fingerprint magnet. Battery life seems good, but I have not used it too much without AC Comes with the active pen, but I have no use for it The MyAsus application is very good, and puts the system controls in one place Cons: Heavier than your usual 14" laptop, but you have 2 screens :-) Two Thunderbolt 4 ports - why not TB 5? The keyboard battery life when removed from the body seems a bit short when the backlight is on The CPU can take more power, but it is limited in this machine to prevent it from throttling too much Battery life is limited due to the two screens, but that is to be expected Why not Win 11 Professional instead of Home for a premium device? There is only 1 M.2 slot for storage, which is a bummer Overall, this is one of the best machines I have ever used. Applications are quick, and I am never waiting for something to respond. This is NOT a gaming machine, regardless of what you might hear. The iGPU is not the best that Intel has to offer, and the NPU for AI is weaker than most - but for what it is meant to do, it excels. This is a business laptop dream - if you multi-task a lot, edit multiple documents at once, etc., it is perfect. Did I mention how great the keyboard is? :-) Highly recommended! R Read more

The dual screens are great if you like to multi-task and the resolution is very nice. However, what is find the most annoying and what gives me buyer's remorse is the detachable keyboard. When I'm working in dual-screen mode and have the Bluetooth keyboard detached, the battery life of the keyboard is short. The most annoying part is that the Bluetooth disconnects and i have to go into Bluetooth settings and reconnect it. It doesn't automatically connect back like your Bluetooth headphones or earbuds. It's very annoying. Also, when in dual screen mode, the battery is used up very quickly. Read more

I don't leave many reviews, but the 2025 ASUS Zenbook DUO deserves it. I travel more than 70 nights a year for work and spend even more time on the road and in the air. I needed something that could boost my productivity without having to lug around an extra monitor. This laptop delivered exactly that. The dual screens are a game changer. They make multitasking easy and efficient, whether I'm in a hotel room, airport lounge, or cramped airplane seat. Battery life is outstanding, even with both screens on. It’s so good that I ended up selling my 1.5-year-old MacBook, which I previously loved for its battery life alone. The Zenbook DUO simply offers the full package: power, portability, battery life, and functionality. If you're on the fence, pull the trigger. This thing is a productivity monster. Read more

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. Read more

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 versatile Powerful Intel Core Ultra 9 with AI capabilities Impressive battery life for a dual-screen device Detachable keyboard and stylus enhance flexibility Sturdy build with a clever kickstand Cons: Speakers lack depth Slightly 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.

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). Read more
