Innovations are happening in smartphones. Folding, flip and now smartphones with AI support have arrived. This innovation is seen in both hardware and software areas. However, you do not get to see much innovation in the field of laptops. Even if there is some innovation, it does not reach the common people.
Asus is a brand that has launched many types of laptops in the last few years. The company has introduced laptops ranging from folding to dual screen and tablets. Now the brand has come up with a new laptop with a dual screen. We are talking about Asus Zenbook DUO 2024.
We have been using this laptop for the last few days. It has two screens, which you can use for the same work or for different tasks. The question is how practical is this Asus device in real life. We will talk about this in this review.
Design
Asus Zenbook DUO 2024 comes with a fresh design. You will get to see dual screen in it. The device comes with a premium finish. Gray aluminum lid has been used in it. The laptop is quite thin even after the dual screen. However, it cannot be called the thinnest laptop.
The company has made it strong as well as good. According to the company, this device comes with MIL-STD 810H certification. You get two screens in it and both are touch panels.
Apart from this, the laptop has two Thunderbold 4 ports, one USB-A 3.2 (Gen 1) port, HDMI 2.1 port and 3.5mm audio jack. However, it does not have a separate port for SD card. Overall, the device looks quite good.
How is the performance?
It has dual screens, which you can customize for different tasks. Both panels are 14-inch OLED displays. Gorilla Glass has been used for their protection. The screens come with 60Hz refresh rate support. Now let’s talk about the dual screen mode.
If you use multiple screens for multitasking, then this laptop makes your work easier. Both its screens can be used. You can use it in dual screen, side by side, laptop mode.
To bring the keyboard on the secondary screen, you have to touch 6 fingers anywhere. As soon as you do this, a keyboard will appear on your screen. You get an additional Bluetooth keyboard with the laptop. You can use it by placing it on the secondary screen or by keeping it separate from both the screens.
In terms of performance, you can use this laptop as a business device. The device generates a lot of heat. The company has launched it with Intel Core Ultra 9 processor. It has 32GB RAM. There are no major complaints in terms of performance. Yes, if you use it for gaming, then you will definitely have to face some challenges.
In this, you have been given a 65W fast charger for charging, which is very compact. You can charge it with any Type-C charger. However, its speed remains slow. In a single charge, you can use this laptop for more than 5 hours on normal use.
Bottom Line
The main point of this laptop is its design i.e. dual screen feature. This feature attracts people. However, its price is also quite high (for a normal user). This laptop can be purchased by creators or business users. You get an excellent screen in it.
Its keyboard is excellent and the battery life of the laptop works brilliantly. Its price is attractive as per the dual screen laptop. However, the quality of the speaker could have been better. Apart from this, the device comes with Asus Pen support, but you are not given any space to attach it.
You will have to carry it separately. The laptop also does not support SD card. Overall, this device is a great machine. Its price starts from Rs 1,59,990 and goes up to Rs 2,39,990.
Asus Zenbook DUO 2024 comes with 1TB and 2TB storage options. If you are a normal user, then you may not want to spend so much money, but if you want a creative device, then you can try it.
