Against.
Thicker, heavier than rivals Keyboard position is uncomfortable Narrow trackpad No Thunderbolt 3 ports.
Asus is making dual-screen laptops available to the masses with the ZenBook Duo (starting and reviewed at $1,499). The new laptop trades the "Pro" for a much lower price, but nearly all the same functionality as its pricier relative. Instead of having two 14-inch, 4K panels like the ZenBook Pro Duo , the ZenBook Duo has a 14-inch, 1080p screen and a secondary 12.6-inch panel.
Price : $1,499 CPU : Intel Core i7-10510U GPU : Nvidia GeForce MX250 RAM : 16GB Storage : 1TB Display : 14-inch, 1080p 12.6-inch Battery : 9:44 (ScreenPad Plus on); 11:51 (ScreenPad Plus off) Size : 12.7 x 8.8 x 0.8 inches Weight : 4 pounds.
The Duo is the kind of device you’ll feel proud showing off, and when you do, people will be amazed by its gorgeous color and second display, also known as the ScreenPad Plus. The shock and awe of the extra screen will get people reaching for the Duo at electronics stores, but the ScreenPad is much more than a spectacle; It’s a useful tool for creative professionals and business users who need to maximize screen real estate.
Add strong performance and long battery life to the mix, and the ZenBook Duo is a dream to use when you’re crunching https://jiji.co.ke/tablets spreadsheets or editing videos. But to craft such a unique device, Asus had to make compromises to the keyboard and touchpad, so you’ll want to think long and hard about whether the ZenBook Duo is the right device for your needs.
