The ZenBook Pro Duo 15 OLED being compared to the Surface Pro and iPad.

I won’t say the ScreenPad Plus is perfect, but yes, Asus is slowly expanding the usefulness of the secondary screen. You can open a window and span on both screens, giving users extra real estate that cannot be achieved on a single screen. There are multiple ways to use the secondary display on the ZenBook Pro Duo and take advantage of the ScreenPad Plus. For Apple Music, Facebook Messenger and Twitter, I used the ScreenPad Plus. In my testing, I mostly used the top display to open CMS and edit copies, watch movies, or browse the web. The drag-and-drop feature to move a window to the lower display works like a charm. It wasn’t possible on a regular notebook but thanks to the ScreenPad Plus on the ZenBook Pro Duo, I was able to attend an interview simply by dragging a window down to the secondary display. The other day I did a Zoom interview while editing a copy both at the same time.

In fact, the functionality and usefulness of the secondary display have been enhanced over the previous model. Nevertheless, there’s a lot to like about the ScreenPad Plus. Although the ScreenPad looks dull compared to the main display, I guess the decision to have a matte finish has something to do with reducing glare. Both displays support touch and stylus inputs. The secondary 14-inch ScreenPad Plus display, meanwhile, uses an IPS panel and a resolution of 3,840 x 1,100 pixels.

It features 100 per cent DCI-P3 and 100 per cent sRGB colour gamut, which is essential for photographers and video editors who rely on accurate colours. This screen is not going to make a big difference for me but it is useful for the pro user crowd. Since this is of an OLED variety, the display gets plenty bright and colorful. The 15.6-inch 4K touchscreen panel offers sharper image quality, and although it still has a 60Hz refresh rate. That means you are getting two screens - a 15.6-inch OLED 4K 3840 x 2160 resolution screen and the 14-inch ScreenPad Plus 4K UHD touchscreen, sitting under the display, above the keyboard.

As for wireless connectivity, there’s support for Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0.Īsus ZenBook Pro Duo 15 OLED review: Main display and the ScreenPad PlusĪs I said earlier, not only is the basic design of the ZenBook Pro Duo 15 OLED similar to Asus’ original ZenBook Pro Duo, but also the specifications of the two displays. Surprisingly, the smaller ZenBook Duo 14 comes with a microSD card reader. Unfortunately, there’s no SD card slot on this machine. On the opposite side, there are two USB-C ports, all of which support Thunderbolt 3 speeds, and a single USB-A USB 3.1 Gen 2 port. You will find a full-size HDMI 2.1 port and a 3.5-mm audio combo jack on the left-hand side of the notebook. The 15-inch ZenBook Pro Duo’s port selection is a mixed bag.

Think of this device as a portable desktop in the laptop form factor. Given the specs it comes with, that’s still impressive when you consider a notebook squarely aimed at creative professionals. Even though Asus has shaved off the weight (the new one weighs 2.34 kg and is around 24mm thick), it’s hard to deny the ZenBook Pro Duo is bigger and heavier than 15-inch notebooks. That said, the ZenBook Pro Duo is pretty heavy for a 15-inch notebook. (Image credit: Anuj Bhatia/Indian Express) The concentric circles on the lid very much define an Asus ZenBook and so is the premium build quality. On the outside, the ZenBook Pro Duo doesn’t look too different from Asus’ popular notebooks in its ZenBook lineup. Otherwise, the new ZenBook Pro Duo, like the original notebook, still has two screens: the main display and the secondary screen called the ScreenPad Plus. This not only improves the viewing angle but also airflow. Instead of tweaking the looks, Asus has introduced the ErgoLift hinge, which lifts the ScreenPad Plus and raises the keyboard deck at an angle. The second-generation ZenBook Pro Duo shares similarities with its predecessor in terms of design and aesthetics yet there are subtle changes.
