I owned the Asus Zenbook Duo 2024 and sold it because it was laggy despite having an Ultra 9 185H processor. If not for the performance, I would have been happy with the form factor of having dual screens on the go. Learning from my experience, I decided to go with the Ultra 7 255H processor this time around. It is as capable as the Ultra 9 285H except that it's more power efficient, which should theoretically result to longer battery life. After 2 weeks of use, here are my observations. Performance. Very good. No more lags and throttling as I experienced with the 2024 edition. I have not used it for gaming so I cannot say anything about its gaming performance. Design. It has a very premium build. The exterior is a fingerprint magnet and can be easily smudged. One of the 2 USB-C ports was moved to the right, which gives more flexibility. I wish it had an additional full-sized USB port though. Keyboard. It is backlit. You can turn it on or off through the F4 key. Although there are no Home, End, Pgup, and Pgdn buttons printed on the keys, you can use the Fn button along with the arrow keys to activate them. Keyboard travel is very good. Webcam. Mediocre at best. Grainy. I would not use it for professional videos, but should be good enough for meetings. It has Windows Hello which means you can use facial recognition to log in. It also has auto lock feature that automatically locks the pc when you go away. Even better, it will automatically wake up from sleep mode when it detects your presence. High tech stuff. Battery life. Big improvement over Zenbook Duo 2024 edition. Considering there are 2 screens, the battery life is pretty decent. With the screen brightness only at 40% and the laptop running on energy saver mode, it only consumed 6% of battery in 30 minutes. If I interpolate that, that would result to around 6 hours of use. Not bad. Fan noise. Very good. Almost silent even in standard mode. There are 4 profiles available thru the MyAsus app - Full speed, Performance, Standard, and Whisper mode. Power Adapter. It uses a 65W power adapter. The Asus adapter is already compact, but I have a ugreen 65w charger that I use for my mobile phone. So when traveling, I just use the ugreen charger which is even smaller than the Asus power adapter to charge both my phone and the Zenbook Duo. Displays. OLED. The 3K is actually overkill for a 14" screen and by default, display scaling is set to 200%. They could have probably made this to be 1080p and no one would notice. I am not complaining though since battery life is still ok. MAJOR CAVEAT: There is no pen bundled with the Ultra 7 version! I asked Amazon to send me one, but they said I have to return the entire unit so I can get a refund. I don't understand why they did not bundle this as it is bundled with the Ultra 9 version. So for additional $50, you get a more powerful Core 9 processor (but at the expense of shorter battery life), and a free stylus pen. You may want to consider these before purchasing the Ultra 7 255H version. Read more

This is my second of these computers. I bought the first one as an experiment to see if it was worth it.. it is. I use it for my Digital Audio Workstation, and I also do video editing on it. For its performance alone it's a good value. It's got a fast I9 processor with tons of ram and a large SSD. I can run a bunch of FX and soft synths at the same time and performance is barely touched. I was blown away by the performance on Adobe Premiere as well. I was coming from 2 generations removed I7 which was quite fast, and this one is really an eye opener in that regard. My main complaint is that the monitors are kinda small. They look outstanding, with great brightness and clarity, but using my software things get a bit cramped. I can't really complain, though, because it's a tiny laptop... having 2 screens is still better than one larger one. Can't say much about battery life, as I typically use it plugged in. The one or two times I've taken it away, I've had no complaints. I notice it gets rather warm - I do use some hard hitting FX systems, though. I have it sitting on a laptop fan and that does the trick. Putting the screens on their side costs access to ports, which is frustrating because I think I'd use it that way. You also can't lean it back when the screens are sideways, but that's just geometry and there'd be no way to do that anyway. This is my go to computer layout. Read more

Incredible laptop! Super performant, quiet, great battery life, premium build quality. Major upgrade from my previous laptop (a UX482 Zenbook duo, the one which has half display and half keyboard on the lower half) The screens are bright and pleasant to look at. OLED really is superb! Excellent refresh rate too. The detachable keyboard has been executed quite well here - it feels quite robust, incredibly solid when attached, yet detaches without *too much* of an issue. Connects via Bluetooth automatically, usage of the keyboard and trackpad are pretty seamless when detached. The built in kickstand is a thoughtful extra. That said, the screen's palm rejection isn't too good. I ended up using a drawing glove while using my stylus. Another thing to keep mind is that the contact pins underneath the keyboard can scrape against softer surfaces such as wood if you move it around a lot. Overall highly recommend. Read more

The laptop was purchased to be mainly used as my stock/options trading platform due to the 2 screens offered into one laptop. The screens are beautiful. Both screens provide a lot of screen estate and the quality is top notch. I really like the "feel" of the keyboard as well. Touch screen works well. It is soft but firm enough to provide satisfaction when pressed. The built-in software to control the screens feels a bit odd but once you get used to it, it's pretty easy to use. Battery life is mediocre, but this is expected when 2 screens are used simultaneously. When single screen is used, the battery provides around 6-7 hours of usual web browsing and videos. Noise level can be louder than expected, but you can toggle between performance, normal, quiet, etc. When left in quiet mode, the laptop performance is still great while keeping noise level quiet. Overall, really satisfied with the purchase. The laptop build feels solid and premium. Love the duo screens and keyboard. Read more

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 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 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

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
