Asus Zenbook Duo UX8406 (14-Inch, 2024)

Fantastic, flexible dual-screen design ; Impressive clarity, contrast and colour on both OLED screens ; Excellent clip-in, clip-out keyboard ; Decent all-round performance from Core Ultra 9 CPU

GPU performance seems constrained ; Mediocre battery life ; Audio grows harsh at higher volumes

The Asus Zenbook Duo (2024) is a brilliant dual-screen laptop. The extra screen makes a tangible difference to how the laptop’s used. Performance could be improved, but it’s still an outstanding device.

Exceptional OLED displays ; Device versatility is phenomenal ; Battery life is solid for Intel

Can’t compete with Arm-based devices ; CPU heavily limited by cooling ; SSD performance is underwhelming

There’s a lot to like about the latest Asus Zenbook Duo. Its incredible design, mixed with two outstanding displays, makes it a solid bet for those looking for a premium laptop. Combine that with an Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU, a 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSD, plus 32GB...

Near-seamless switching between various operational modes. Easy to get up to speed. Performance is solid. Reasonably priced.

Staggered screens are aesthetically distracting. Occasional operational hiccups related to dual-screen operation. Poor battery life.

Incredible performance ; Clicky keyboard ; Responsive dual displays ; Surprisingly affordable ; Solid battery life

Unbalanced audio ; Hard to remove keyboard ; Underwhelming display

The Asus Zenbook Duo (2024) excels with its phenomenal dual-screen configuration and excellent performance, but we were underwhelmed by its less-than-stellar audio and display.

Futuristic form without compromising function ; Delivers on desktop performance ; Battery life surprisingly good for a dual screen device

GPU muscle curtailed a little by thermals ; Thicker and heavier than a 14in ultraportable ; Nowhere to stash the stylus

Two stunning OLED displays and a detachable keyboard make this a portable productivity ace. Performance could be better for the cash, but the Asus Zenbook Duo OLED (2024) is otherwise unrivalled.

Stunning dual 14-inch OLED displays ; Perfect for multitasking ; Intuitive software that maximizes the utility of the dual screens ; Outstanding keyboard ; The included stylus works perfectly ; Great battery life ; Affordable pricing for a dual-screen...

Speakers are a bit tinny ; Prone to heating up quickly ; No SD card slot is a bummer ; There is no magnetic attachment for the pen

Versatile dual touchscreen modes are actually useful ; Strong metallic kickstand keeps vertical mode sturdy ; Vibrant 3K OLED screens are fast and responsive to touch ; Tremendous 11hr+ battery life in single-screen mode

Windows Studio Effects support doesn't redeem the disappointing webcam ; ASUS ScreenXpert has issues with stock Windows 11 screen management ; Almost too heavy for a 14-inch laptop

ASUS quickly has me on board with this new Zenbook Duo, as its upright 'desktop mode' is genuinely beneficial. In a desk environment, the top screen sits perfectly at eye level, and the bottom panel holds a selection of apps suitable for reaching out...

Two stunning OLED displays and a detachable keyboard make this a portable productivity ace. Performance could be better for the cash, but the Asus Zenbook Duo OLED (2024) is otherwise unrivalled.

Gorgeous twin OLED displays ; Truly functional, practical design ; Excellent keyboard and trackpad ; Feels & works like a regular notebook ; Integrated kickstand ; Good battery when using one display

Expensive ; Significant performance throttling ; Only two USB-C ports ; Virtual keyboard is terrible ; Battery life takes a hit when using both displays

The TL;DR version: A truly portable dual-display notebook with little to no compromises. Price aside, there’s simply no better notebook for anyone who needs lots of display real estate on the go.
