The most striking feature of the 2024 edition of the ZenBook DUO is the twin 14-inch 3K OLED panels. These panels boast a resolution of 2800 x 1800 pixels in the 16:10 aspect ratio. Both panels boast 500 nits of brightness, support a 120 Hz refresh rate, are Dolby Vision certified, and get Gorilla Glass protection for added durability.
The machine offers three Intel processor options: Ultra 9 Processor 185H, Ultra 7 Processor 155H, and Ultra 5 Processor 125H, and gets onboard Intel Arc graphics. Base variants of the ZenBook DUO ship with 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, with 32GB upgrade options available. Storage options begin with 512GB SSDs on the base variants, going up to 2TB SSDs on the top variants. The machine is also well-equipped on the physical connectivity front with the inclusion of a single USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port, twin Thunderbolt four ports, a single HDMI 2.1 port, and even a 3.5-millimeter jack (which the YogaBook 9i missed out on).
The ASUS ZenBook DUO (2024) gets a 4-cell 75Whr battery, which claims up to 13.5 hours of video playback time in single-screen mode and 10.5 hours in dual-screen mode. At 1.65 kilograms, it is about the same weight as traditional laptops—a remarkable feat despite its twin-display setup. Most notably, the laptop is also MIL-STD 810H rated for added durability.
The ASUS ZenBook DUO (2024) is slated to go on sale later this year in the U.S., with a starting price of $1,500 for the base variant.
