Asus ZenBook Pro Duo review (UX581GV): Between the sublime and the ridiculous

A true two-screen laptop that's often successful for its screen, keyboard and raw power. The second screen isn't perfect though, and it's pricey.

This is a real dual-screen experience ; Great keyboard ; Brimming with power ; Great for gaming ; Incredibly rich 4K OLED screen ; The touchpad is better than you’d guess

ScreenPad Plus integration is wobbly at present ; Around 3-3.5-hour real-world battery life ; Costs a bit doesn’t it?

With a superb 4K OLED screen, a keyboard as good as any put into a laptop, a trackpad that's almost confusingly usable, and an RTX 2060 graphics card, there's a lot to love about this slightly barmy laptop. The second screen often fails to live up to...

Asus ZenBook Pro Duo

Asus has supersized the Touch Bar on the ZenBook Pro Duo, which boasts a second 14in display above the keyboard. It won't be for everyone, but it's more than a mere novelty

Asus ZenBook Pro Duo (UX581GV) review: Does a dual display make this workhorse laptop twice as good?

The latest premium offering from Asus features dual 4K touch displays. But is it more than a gimmick?

Superpowered internals ; Vivid 4K OLED primary display ; Second screen is genuinely useful

Awkward ergonomics ; Thermal management issues ; ScreenPad Plus software needs work

As I mentioned earlier, the ZenBook Pro Duo is certainly ambitious. Aside from the unreleased Razer Project Valerie , it might well be the most daring multi-display laptop ever made. Impressively, it’s also the most successful effort I’ve seen.

Asus ZenBook Pro Duo hands-on review: A novel laptop with two touchscreens for maximum multitasking

The dual-screen ZenBook Pro Duo is certainly different, but is it practical? Here's the lowdown from Computex 2019

Specification details are thin on the ground right now, but I’ll be updating this hands-on as soon as I know more. As for pricing and UK availability, I could only guess, so I won’t. Watch this space for more information on the ZenBook Pro Duo and,...

ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo UX 581 review: Are two displays better than one? (Updated!)

The ZenBook Pro Duo features breaking neck specs and two displays. We find out if it is worth its high price.

Gorgeous 4K OLED display ; Genuinely useful ScreenPad Plus ; Class-leading specs ; Support for Wi-Fi 6 ; Quite reasonably priced ; USB-A and USB-C ports

Pricey ; Position of keyboard not ideal ; Trackpad is small ; Bulky and quite heavy ; Could use more USB-C Thunderbolt 3 ports

Asus ZenBook Duo review: two screens, too many compromises

You need to really want the second screen.

Useful extra screen ; 10-hour battery life ; Stylus support

Sharp fold-under hinge ; Clunky touchpad ; No Thunderbolt 3 ; Weak GPU isn’t worth it

The Asus Zenbook Duo has two displays: a 14-inch 1080p matte screen and a 12.6-inch IPS panel called the ScreenPad 2.0. The Zenbook Duo is the best laptop if you must have more than one display — just make sure you really want the extra screen.

Asus ZenBook Pro Duo

The Asus ZenBook Pro Duo is a thoughtful, albeit pricey, reinvention of the laptop, with a second screen in the keyboard base and an Intel Core i9 processor that should appeal to creative professionals with resource-intensive workflows.

Unique ScreenPad Plus second display simplifies workflows. Main display is an OLED panel. Excellent design and build quality. Intel Core i9 and Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 offer computing muscle. Included stylus and wrist rest.

Cramped keyboard and touchpad. No SD card reader. Heavy. Short battery life.

Bottom Line: The Asus ZenBook Pro Duo is a thoughtful, albeit pricey, reinvention of the laptop, with a second screen in the keyboard base and an Intel Core i9 processor that should appeal to creative professionals with resource-intensive workflows.
