#ZENBOOK PRO DUO PRO#
The Pro Duo uses the same Ergolift hinge design we’ve seen on most recent ZenBooks, with the main-chassis lifting on rubber feet placed at the bottom of the screen in order to ensure improved airflow underneath and a slightly inclined typing position. 8 lbs, which you’ll most likely have to grab along, as battery life is not one of this computer’s strong assets and USB-C charging is not supported. And don’t forget you’ll also have to account for the power-brick in your backpack, at an extra.

However, this is rather thick and heavy for a 15-inch notebook with this sort of specs, at about an inch thick and 2.47 kg (5.5 lbs). Metal is used for the entire outer-case, with little to no flex in either the lid or the keyboard-frame, while the interior is mostly occupied by the screens and keyboard.

Much like the 14-inch model we’ve already reviewed, the ZenBook Pro Duo is sturdily built and looks nice. White backlit keyboard, 14″ ScreenPad Plus, HD webcam, IR Hello camera and near-field micsĪsus also offers a higher-tier configuration of this laptop, with a Core i9-9880HK processor, 32 GB of RAm and 1 TB of SSD storage, but otherwise identical traits and features.

The dual-screens are this laptop’s main selling factor, and you’ll actually find them useful as you incorporate them in your daily use experience, but they are also backed up by a premium construction, beefy hardware specs, pretty good IO and a fast keyboard. Surprisingly, it grew on me the more I used it. In all fairness, though, I was reluctant of this form-factor at first, giving our past experience with the similarly designed ROG Zephyrus lines.
