ASUSZenbook DUO Laptop, Dual 14” OLED 3K 120Hz Touch Display, Evo, Intel Core Ultra 9 285H, Intel Arc Graphics, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Windows 11, UX8406CA-PS99T

I bought this to replace my Microsoft Surface Laptop. I was a Surface diehard. I was on my 3rd Surface device. But after becoming a full-time day-trader, I needed the extra screen space when I travel. This has been an incredible laptop for my purposes. I was a bit worried about getting an Ultra 9 processor. Some of the trading platforms can be resource hogs. I even got an additional two travel monitors to go with the Asus. So I'm running four monitors with multiple virtual desktops, and this laptop is keeping up just fine. The price is great for this quality of machine. The monitors are beautiful and crisp. I keep my charts and options chains shrunk down so I can see more information, and the monitors are so crisp I can see everything very clearly and in detail. The sound is decent, but I don't really use it. I connect my headset via Bluetooth. I thought I'd use the pen and touchscreen more than I have. I guess since the Zenbook Duo doesn't really have a tablet mode, I haven't found much use for the pen yet. The battery life has been pretty good. I can get about 4 hours with just the two native screens. But with two more external screens, the power drains much quicker. It's not my daily-use computer. I have a desktop for that. But I took this to the Bahamas a few weeks back and traded on it for 5 days straight with no issues whatsoever. I'm very happy with my purchase.

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).

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.
