Asus zenbook pro duo 15 oled1/11/2024 ![]() ![]() There’s no doubt, though, that you’ll be reconfiguring your desk to make everything fit, and the extension is another thing to carry with you when you want to comfortably use the ZenBook Pro Duo on the road. The extension has a passthrough for the LED at the bottom that displays the battery status, which is a nice touch. Adding the extension pushes the laptop back on your desk, meaning it takes up quite a bit of space when it’s fully configured. It makes up for the fact that there’s no palm rest built into the machine, and typing without the extension is uncomfortable (more on the keyboard later). The ZenBook Pro Duo comes with a palm rest extension that slides up against the bottom of the chassis. The Acer Concept D 7 Ezel is thicker and heavier at 1.13 inches at its thickest point and 5.6 pounds, and that machine feels larger than the ZenBook Pro Duo. The ZenBook’s bezels are larger on the top and bottom, so the chassis is larger overall - not to mention the impact of the second display, but it’s not a huge laptop by any means. 83 inches thick and weighs 5.16 pounds, compared to the XPS 15 at 0.71 inches and 4.5 pounds. There’s nothing thin and light about the ZenBook Pro Duo, though, but it’s not as large as you might expect given the second screen. This quality is a common characteristic of Asus laptops - rarely do we come across one that’s not solid as a rock. It’s equal to Dell’s XPS and Latitude and Lenovo’s ThinkPad lines, which are among the most robust laptops built today. I’d rate it with the best laptops in terms of its rigidity, with absolutely no bending, flexing, or twisting anywhere on the machine. You’ll need two hands to open the laptop despite the bottom’s significant weight, but it all feels robust and gives confidence that you won’t have any long-term issues with the second display after many openings and closings.Īsus constructed the ZenBook Pro Duo of a mix of aluminum and magnesium-aluminum alloys, and so the feeling of durability extends to the rest of the laptop. ![]() The main display hinge is fairly tight, and some pressure is required to lift the second display. That angle is helpful for more than just east of use it also provides for additional airflow across the bottom chassis for theoretically improved thermal performance. Because both displays are OLED, there’s a ton of bright colors and deep blacks staring back at you, and it looks cool if nothing else. Open the ZenBook Pro Duo’s lid and the second display rises at an angle - the previous version remained flat and less comfortable to use. There’s nothing thin and light about the ZenBook Pro Duo. Another differently designed laptop that also presents a pure work aesthetic is the Acer ConceptD 7 Ezel with its flip-around display design - not surprisingly, that machine is also aimed at creatives. Compare that to the Dell XPS 15, which is far more streamlined and adds a touch of elegance that makes it a more attractive laptop. Looking at the ZenBook Pro Duo gives a distinct impression that this is a working machine. There’s a vague resemblance to gaming laptops due to aggressive venting along each side, but overall, the design is more function than form. The edges are angled for aesthetic and functional purposes, particularly the rear edge that accommodates the new ErgoLift AAS (Active Aerodynamic System) hinge that props the lower chassis up for better airflow and more comfortable typing. Is the dual-display functionality enough to go up against the best laptops for video editing and photo editing? Design Mark Coppock/Digital TrendsĬlose the ZenBook Pro Duo’s lid, and it looks like a chunky 15-inch laptop with a slightly industrial design in a Celestial Blue color scheme and the usual Asus concentric swirl on the lid. This is an expensive machine at $3,000, though.
