The Asus ZenBook Pro Duo will be released on September 6th in the United States.

The Asus ZenBook Pro Duo will be available in the United States starting September 6th. It offers two configurations, priced at $ 2499 and $ 2,999. Both machines feature the model's "ScreenPadPlus" touch screen, located above the keyboard, an Nvidia RTX 2060 graphics card, a Thunderbolt 3 port, a 1TB NVMe SSD, and a OLED screen.

The two models differ however with regard to the processor, the RAM and the display. The high-end model features the Intel Core i9-9980HK processor, 32GB of 2.666MHz DDR4 RAM and a 4K display, while the less expensive notebook uses an Intel Core i7-9750H processor , 16GB of DDR4 2.666 MHz, and an HDD Panel.

In case you missed the original ad, it's not your standard laptop. It has two 4K displays: a 15.6-inch 16: 9 OLED touch screen where you can work and play, and a 14-inch IPS 32: 9 touch screen reminiscent of the MacBook Pro's Touch Bar (but far bigger and bigger). not so stuck in the capacity).

My colleague Sam Byford had the opportunity to try the Computex ZenBook Pro Duo and he pointed out that the smaller screen is versatile and can be used as a second monitor for games, movies or anything else. that you want to do. It can even be split into two smaller 16: 9 screens.

This machine is specifically designed to handle some games, but lowering the resolution of the display to 1080p is probably intended to ensure uniform scroll speeds on the high-end model. It is more strongly oriented towards the creators, especially those who wish to draw or annotate on the displays with a stylus. Asus includes one with the purchase, and it's nice to see that active styluses are supported. So you can use a preferred template if you wish.
