When our friends over at ASUS hit me up and said,

This sentence seems to be incomplete, but based on the context, I'll assume it's a fragment of a conversation. If you provide more context or information about what comes next, I can help with the rest of the article.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- When our friends over at ASUS hit me upand said, "Hey, we'vegot this brand new laptopwe're launching at CES.Can you take a look at it?Can we sponsor a video?"I said, "Hell yeah, brother."Because when you seewhat's inside this box,not only is it dope, it'sactually priced reasonably,unlike a lot of the wonderfulthings that get announcedat CES every year, whichare astronomically expensiveand ship after like a year.This thing is going on sale shortly,and it is, I will say,actually reasonable.Standard caveats, thisis a pre-production unit,so I'm gonna have to be alittle bit careful with it.I don't have, at this moment,the exact release date,but this is the new ZenBook Duo.The idea is that this is a laptop,which essentially is verysimilar in form factorto a normal laptop,except that it has a detachable keyboardand two completely separate OLED displays.Oh, snap.Oh, I knew this was coming.I knew I was gonna beable to play with thisbefore CES, which is whenyou're watching this video,but I've been waitingto get my hands on it.So from the outside, this mightlook like a standard laptop.But when you open it up,what you're gonna seeis that we have a beautiful 14-inch OLEDand a detachable keyboardwith a second OLED inside.So the advantage to something like thisis that you have twofull-sized 14-inch displaysin the laptop form factor,and there are a ton of different modesof how you can actually use this.The kicker, it costs $1,500.Now, yes, that is a lot of money.When you consider thatother dual-screen laptopsare $2,000 plus,and these foldable laptops can go to befour or $5,000 in some cases,the fact that this is onlya little bit more expensivethan an equivalent ZenBookand has two whole displayson it, (clicks tongue) man.There should also be anumber of accessoriesbecause this is, well, thisis a real special laptop.Yeah, I don't know whyit comes with a backpack.I'll be honest, thatseems a little excessive.It's a nice backpack.While it boots up, it does have...Oh, it's already logged in.Ha ha, I knew that.(ethereal music)Wow, wait, that's neat.Let's go on a journeyof discovery, shall we?So this is the ZenBook Duo runningin what I would calltraditional laptop mode.So I've got my keyboard,I've got my track pad.Everything seems to be completely normal.When it's running in this configuration,the bottom display is offand this keyboard andtrack pad are attachedvia these pogo pins and magnets, right?So you don't have tocharge anything like that.If I want, I can take off the keyboardand then it switchesover to wireless mode,and then the seconddisplay turns on as well.It will charge via the device,or it does have a USB-C.So, technically, you couldactually plug this in wired,connect it via wireless,or drop it straight on.So it's a lot of different modesfor the keyboard specifically.And then if I pull out the kickstand,which is built onto the bottom,I have myself a huge amountof screen real estate.And then I have a wirelesskeyboard and track pad,which literally just feelslike the bottom of a laptop.Yeah, it is completely flawless.And the other thing that makes this coolis that these displays are OLED.So you've got dual 2.8K,120 Hertz OLED panels.So inside, this is runningthe new Intel Core 7Ultra 155H, which means it isa proper H-series processor.It has the Arc graphics.This one's outfittedwith 32-gigabytes of RAM.So while this doesn'thave a dedicated GPU,you still have the neural processingwith the NPU that's built in.And again, it is theH-series of these processors,which is not what you might expectfrom a thin and light sortof laptop with dual displays.So while you're not gonnaprobably want to game on it,or would you?Wait, wait, can I do vertical gaming?How cool is this?On top of that, there is a mode,and I don't know how it works,but you can put this on its side.Oh, you rotate it.That's how it goes on its side.Now, the only thing is, Idon't know how it stands.- You don't need the stand.You don't need the stand.- Oh, it literally stands up by itself.- Yeah, yeah.- Now, let me actually see,there's a bunch of other stuffthat I know is included here.So we've got ourselves the power adapter,but also included is the ASUS Pen.So, of course, both displaysare full touchscreens.And on top of that, I'm notgonna personally do this,but if you wanted to, youcould just take the keyboardand get rid of it,and you actually can, Ithink it's six fingers.Yeah, so this is a little bit strange,but look, you can, if you want,turn on a software keyboard and touch pad.I don't fully know whyyou would wanna do this,if I'm honest with you,because you have a verynice keyboard and touch padthat are included in the box.But technically, I could type like this.Oh, well, yeah, I willsay the glass touch paddoes actually feel kind of cool, right?I mean, look at this.That's kind of neat.- Oh, that actuallydoes feel kind of nice.- It does, and if you want,you can press this buttonand the touch pad is the full size.- Oh, that's why I would want to use this.Okay, hear me out, hear me out.Like, it's cool that you'redoing this on a desk,but here's the idea.Put that on.Come join me here.You know, some cafeshave those like setupswhere they have the couchand then like a coffeetable in the middle,you know, a little lounge setup.Put that here.Like, just the laptop.Nope, no, no, no, no.First of all, we're in public.- Oh, oh.- Put the laptop here.- Laptop here?- Yeah, do the kickstand.- Kickstand?- Yep.And now grab yourkeyboard, and lounge back.- Oh my God, it works.(Ken laughs)Now, boom, look at this.I've got myself a dual-screen displaythat I'm using just asif it was right here.And honestly, like, thetracking and the Bluetooth,everything feels really strong.Let me spend a littlebit of time with this.I know that there are actuallya couple of other modesand a couple of otherthings that we can do,but man, that is so cool.Now that I've spent sometime with the ZenBook Duo,I have a lot of thoughts.So, first and foremost is theactual spec of this model.So this is a review unit,so it actually has a slightly differentsort of configuration.So this one is outfittedwith the new Intel Core Ultra 7 processor,although you can also outfitit with a Core Ultra 9.The other thing is the price.So the base model of the ZenBookDuo does start at $1,500.I'll talk a little bit moreabout that in a minute,but there's one important caveat.So that model has a slightlylower resolution display.So that starts with a 1200p display,or rather two 1200p displays.Whereas the model I havehere has two 1800p displays.Before I tell you aboutall the great stuff,let me just give you a coupleof the minor trade-offs,because there are some.They're minor, but there are some.So, first and foremost,there's actually the weight.As you would expect, addingtwo displays to a laptopand having a detachablekeyboard, track pad,as well as a hinge on theback does add some weight.So this weighs 3.6 pounds,which is a little on the hefty sidefor a productivity laptopwithout a dedicated GPU.In fact, for context, thebrand new ROG Zephyrus G14,that ASUS also make,this actually weighsin at only 3.3 pounds.So it's lighter weight than this,and it has a full RTX 4070 inside.Although, if I'm being honest,it's not really a fair comparisonbecause, again, you dohave those dual displays.Now when it comes tousing it in laptop mode,you'll notice the heft, right?I'll just be honest, you do noticethat it's a little bit on the heavy side.And I can also say the samething about the kickstand.At first glance, itlooks a little bit jankybecause it is sort ofreally bolted onto the back.It's not really integratedinto the back of the laptopin a way that I would like to see.That being said, because thisis not an optional accessory,this is not like somestands that you have to,you know, unfold out of the box.It is always attached tothe back of the laptop.It means that it is essentially effortlessto set the laptop down,pop the kickstand out,pull the keyboard off,and you are instantly ready to gowith that dual-screen action.It is mildly annoying tofeel when it's on your lap.But honestly, it's smallenough and it's not that thick,so it doesn't really bother me.Now you're probably wonderingwhat's battery life likeon a dual-screen laptop?Well, the answer is, pretty good,or not so great, based(laughs) on how you use it.So ASUS thought aheadand outfitted this with a quitelarge 75-watt-hour battery.Now, I've primarily usedit in dual-screen modewith the brightness highand both screens running at 120 Hertz.With that and normal use, you know,not super demanding stuff,web browsing, that kind of thing,I'm getting about four tofive hours of battery life.But the number one wayto improve your batterylife is a simple one.Put the keyboard on and turnoff that second display.At that point, you're goingto get something closerto probably seven to eight hours,I would say, for normal use,which is, in my opinion,enough for most people to get througha pretty solid workday.Considering the pricing,considering what they've been able to do,ASUS have absolutelyknocked it out of the park.I never really thoughtthat a dual-screen laptopor a foldable laptopwas all that interesting to me personally.Like, I've always thoughtthat the laptop form factor is terrific,but the cleverness of this designand the way that they've engineered it,both on the hardware and thesoftware side.
