Asus ZenBook Pro Duo 15 OLED review: Design and build:

The core idea and belief that dual-screen notebooks are better than a traditional laptop hasn’t really changed. The second-generation ZenBook Pro Duo shares similarities with its predecessor in terms of design and aesthetics yet there are subtle changes. Instead of tweaking the looks, Asus has introduced the ErgoLift hinge, which lifts the ScreenPad Plus and raises the keyboard deck at an angle. This not only improves the viewing angle but also airflow. 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. On the outside, the ZenBook Pro Duo doesn’t look too different from Asus’ popular notebooks in its ZenBook lineup. The concentric circles on the lid very much define an Asus ZenBook and so is the premium build quality.Asus ZenBook Pro Duo 15 OLED review: Design and build. 



That the ZenBook Pro Duo is pretty heavy for a 15-inch notebook. 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. Given the specs it comes with, that’s still impressive when you consider a notebook squarely aimed at creative professionals. Think of this device as a portable desktop in the laptop form factor.



The 15-inch ZenBook Pro Duo’s port selection is a mixed bag. 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. 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. Unfortunately, there’s no SD card slot on this machine. Surprisingly, the smaller ZenBook Duo 14 comes with a microSD card reader. As for wireless connectivity, there’s support for Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0.

Main display and the ScreenPad Plus:



As 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. 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. The 15.6-inch 4K touchscreen panel offers sharper image quality, and although it still has a 60Hz refresh rate. Since this is of an OLED variety, the display gets plenty bright and colorful. This screen is not going to make a big difference for me but it is useful for the pro user crowd. 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.

The secondary 14-inch ScreenPad Plus display, meanwhile, uses an IPS panel and a resolution of 3,840 x 1,100 pixels. Both displays support touch and stylus inputs. 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. Nevertheless, there’s a lot to like about the ScreenPad Plus. In fact, the functionality and usefulness of the secondary display have been enhanced over the previous model. There are multiple use cases of the ScreenPad Plus. For instance, I can drag a window from the main screen to the secondary display.

Asus ZenBook Pro Duo 15 comes with the 10th generation Intel Core i9 processor, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 GPU. For a laptop designed to appeal to graphics designers and content creators, it’s always important to go through the specs of the machine.

Asus ZenBook Pro Duo 15 Webcam and Speakers:



The ZenBook Pro Duo still offers an average 720p camera. I think it’s time for Asus to bid goodbye to 720p webcams on its pro-level notebooks. The Harman Kardon speakers are absolutely excellent on this laptop. They are loud and clearest with no distortion. The sound has bass and they deliver good volume. Speakers are good for content creators and streamers or anyone who wants to attend a video call.
