Whenever anything arrives that’s a little bit different, which offers a hint of a step forward in technology design or function, you immediately start looking for the compromise. In the ASUS Zenbook Duo OLED 2024 model, we found none.
This is a remarkable laptop. One of the very best to have ever passed through the large sliding doors of the Creative Bloq Hardware Labs. The white-coated geeks who toil there amid fountains of dry ice and those crackly plasma balls that were all the rage in the ‘80s searched it all over for flaws, and came up empty. The worst thing we can say about it is that, if you’re using both its OLED screens and have a 1440p ultrawide monitor connected to the HDMI port as well, the mouse pointer can get a bit jumpy as the integrated GPU strains to keep up. That’s it. We’d expected the Duo to have poor battery life, but you’ll get more than 12 hours out of the 75Wh battery when using it in laptop mode, though opening up the second screen will lower this.
