The impressive looking ASUS Zenbook Duo has been dated for release here
ASUS Australia have announced that the Zenbook DUO, their latest entry in the Zenbook series can be ordered now and will be out via the ASUS store and JB Hi-Fi on February 14th, with a RRP of $3,999.
The big draw for this laptop is the dual full-size 3K 120 Hz ASUS Lumina OLED 16:10 displays, which are joined together by a lay-flat 180° hinge to instantly expand the visual workspace to up to a massive 19.8 inches. which can be used in vertical or horizontal orientations for a number of versatile user modes — Laptop, Dual Screen, Desktop, or Sharing — controlled by the ASUS ScreenXpert software.
There are a few ways in which you can use the laptop, ASUS have listed them below.
Dual Screen mode: When used with the wireless keyboard, this mode provides 19.8 inches of screen real estate, which can be used as a single expansive screen via the ViewMax feature. Alternatively, the twin 16:10 displays can be used independently, with easy window management via the App Switcher feature that puts users in full fingertip control of app windows, reducing interruptions and helping users maintain focus on the task at hand.
Desktop mode: The laptop can be used with the hinge aligned vertically for side-by-side portrait screens. Combined with the wireless keyboard, this makes it perfect for programmers, researchers, writers, and those who need access to large data worksheets for things like financial analysis — and many more. Users can display productivity apps on one screen while the other shows reference materials, documentation, or research sources. Alternatively, using the ViewMax feature they can display content across the entire screen width, giving them a massive 19.8-inch display.
Laptop mode: Users can place the ASUS ErgoSense Bluetooth keyboard and touchpad onto the lower display for a traditional laptop-style experience, replete with a 14-inch display and tall 16:10 aspect ratio. A pogo-pin connector automatically recharges the keyboard. Alternatively, the lower screen can be configured as a full-size virtual keyboard if required, so users don't have to travel with the keyboard if space is tight.
Sharing mode: Allows easy content sharing in meetings and business presentations. The 180° hinge allows the screens to lay flat so everyone can view the screen without having to huddle around, fostering better engagement and discussion. Additionally, content on the upper screen can be rotated by 180° if needed.
