I just received mine. I bought the I9 version with 32GB. Last year I bought the Lenovo. Compared to the ASUS, last years Lenovo was slow with a low powered CPU and less memory and SSD size. THis one is a huge improvement. I am not a gamer but I use my laptops for stock trading and analysis. THe extra monior on the road is a huge win. Not using a handicapped CPU is a big win. Having a small lightweight charger for a road warrior is incredible.
Yes. Actually am in air right now and was trading using Delta WiFi and the multi monitors. I am pleasantly surprised by the performance and all my trading programs work fine.
Hello, Could you please mention if it is possible to get a Virtual Numberpad in the Virtual keyboard on the second screen which would be convenienent in keying in more numbers? If there is any option to bring in the Virtual Numberpad in the Virtual Keyboard? An early reply would be much appreciated as I am inching towards buying Asus Zenbook Duo 2024.
Love mine,185h with 32gb ram.I upgraded the ssd to 4tb though as i wasn't getting 5k read or write speeds like you.I went with the silicon power 4tb us75 m.2 2280 ssd.I got 7077read and 6497 write speeds,sequential was the same.Loving it!
@@Techtablets I haven't did anything like that in a while.I gathered up the nerve then watched the teardown video.Seems like a lot but take your time,it took a while to boot back up though.
I've been looking for a very thorough gaming review for this laptop, and I was glad to have stumbled on this! It didn't appear in my initial search, but it appeared in my homepage after 2 days of watching whatever videos about the Zenbook Duo 2024. I knew that CPU-wise and RAM-wise, it's a good laptop, but I was really curious on the gaming aspect (since I play milder games like DoTA 2, Valorant, and occasionally Satisfactory). I wonder when will these integrated graphics get as good as the lower end dedicated ones from a few years back. When it does, it'll really fulfill my dream of a thin and light, portable, functional, (+gimicky) and productivity-oriented laptop. This is getting quite close and I might look into this if they refresh it next year or the next to replace my XPS 15 9500 now. Thank you for the informative video!
this thing has EVERYTHING I am looking for. 32GB RAM, and 2 TB SSD. New core ultra chips, icing on the cake is dual screen. now if the battery life can double what I get with my surface pro 7 I will be buying one. I currently get about 4 hours of life on battery with my SP7. I usually has either VScode, or Rstudio open, along with email, youtube, google search, and claude3,gpt3.5, and/or gemini. I love my SP7 but the battery life really kills me. I have to bring my charger and a power brick with me wherever I go because of battery anxiety.
Well light work and the screen (just one) at 30% it's 10 hours so really good. But using both screens at 3k 120hz it's half that. But that charger is tiny so not really a big issue to take it with you.
@@Techtablets I need a good data science laptop that will get me at least 8 hours on battery doing medium to heavy work. Maybe there is not such a thing as a windows laptop doing this lol
@@TechtabletsI have a 2016 Surface Pro that is down to 30 minutes of battery life … 1 screen … looks like that long of battery life would feel like a luxury 😎
I've been using a Gigabyte Aero since 2019 (upgraded to newer model in 2020) and this laptop is very interesting to me as my next upgrade. The only thing that's missing is a dedicated GPU. I personally am not looking for a super-small laptop so I'd be willing to trade some weight and thickness for something that has a massively better GPU. My laptop has an RTX 3070 in it that can run Red Dead 2 at 4K and it plays great. For this, I wouldn't be opposed to docking to an external GPU, but that's a cost I'd like to avoid. Still though, the dual screen and the way Asus put it all together looks very compelling. Will definitely consider this one.
Thanks for the review. I'm in the market for another ASUS laptop but want a Duo. I think this might be the one for me. And you're right, that hatch under the stand should've been aligned with the SSD.
Great review but i'd like to correct you on gaming performance aspect if people really would want to on this. i got the Zenbook Duo 2024 120hz oled, ultra 7 155H & 16GB version. In the asus system setting app i put 8gb allocation to the arc GPU & the fan speed option to performance mode with the AC power and was able to really play all current games on high setting with few tweaks in graphics setting of the games including cyberpunk 2077 on high settings with ray tracing off. Quite impressive tbh. Having a 65W powerbank with me i actually don't have any issues with this lol
Hi, okay great to know I just reviewed it with stock ram settings I didn't tweak up the allocated RAM or anything like that but I did use performance mode of course. Such s cool laptop I really like it!
Just got mine I went for the ultra 7 as the ultra 9 was out I love it the fans aren’t noisy at all cause there’s 2 ot stays pretty cool and I thought I’d hate the 14 inch screens but because there’s 2 it’s actually a good size brilliant laptop really like ASU’s
I am on the fence for getting this laptop. Trying to decide either this or a surface pro. I read reviews that it’s very slow and takes forever to boot up. Is this true? Has anyone been using this in real time as their daily driver? Any of these issues?
Very helpful thank you very much. I plan to use this for general simple multitasking and editing 1080p footage in Premiere Pro. For UK folk, Found the highest spec, 2tb ssd ultra 9 32gb ram in John Lewis for only £1599
Sorta disagree regarding the price. It keeps getting brought up when comparing the price to other normal laptop, but this thing has to include a whole extra high res OLED panel, as well as the extra complexity of a detachable and standalone keyboard/trackpad. Honestly I've been impressed with the price they can sell these at, the Ultra 7 spec is $1500 which feels fair
In the US the website says that the model with the Ultra 9, 32GB RAM, and 1TB storage only costs $1699 USD. That's far off of the $2700 or so you were talking about. Does that make your opinion on price any different?
The manufacturer himself can not imagine the bussines use cases and so it is important that they should go through the suggestion opinion and overall user experience. Fantastic reviews.
I'm typing my response on this very laptop. I've had it for a week now and I'm actually pretty blown away at all that I got for the $$. You mentioned it was 2500 euros but I didn't pay anywhere near that here in the states. I got the tricked out model from B&H Photo (same price at CDW) for 1585.00 euros ($1699.99 USD). I don't know if the price has come down significantly or if it's just more expensive wherever you got this (Australia? UK?) Excellent review. Very thorough. My experience has been exactly as your review states. An amazing amount of horsepower, features, and utility for $1700 USD.
Great to hear that, yes I think it's an amazing laptop especially with that dual screen for using with video editing has been amazing for me. As for the price it's what I was given for the top spec model 9 185H and max storage but it seems they dropped that pricing very quickly which is just as well. Great price you got!
From other reviews, yes. While the top screen is also a touch screen, it wobbles so it would be a little more inconvenient to write on while elevatex but, if you lay it out flat, then you could write on either end.
For the next version of this laptop, and taking into account what they managed to do with the PX13, they oughta do the following: - 13" (to make it more lightweight and portable) - full 360 degree hinge - Ryzen AI9 HX 370 - 32 GB RAM - 120 hz OLED - up to at least 2TB Storage - make the bottom screen support haptic feedback, so the onscreen keyboard becomes actuallt useable. -1x HDMI, 1x USB A, 2x USB4 and fullSD port, or skip it all together (micro is useless) - Oculink port - full pen support (Windows; yes wacom is better, but less versatile, and a lot more expensive) Considering hoe thin the newest Samsung tablet (2024) is, I feel like this could be even thinner.
I guess due to a few factors like the cost, engineering required for the hinge and maybe the reliability of a flexible OLED. I know other brands are releasing now flexible OLED laptops so it's only a matter of time before Asus dies the same I would think.
As a photographer and hobby musician this would be awesome Having the mixer on the top and other Software on the bottom Im just afraid its not powerful enough for audio production and high res photo work
Thanks for the video. 4 questions: 1) Is there fingerprint sensor? 2) Does it have a pen? 3) Can to keyboard connect to two laptops via Bluetooth say Asus Dou and Surface Pro? 4) Is there a mechanical shut off switch for the cam? Thank you.
Hi, thank you for the throughout review, however, I noticed you didn't mention the stylus. I'm a student and was thinking on getting this laptop, and want to use it to take notes. Is this a good option for it? Does it have palm rejection?
At the 8:36 mark, can this configuration be used to display two pages of sheet music simultaneously and then turn two pages at a time? What software/settings would you use to do this? This would be a great setup for musicians.
Thank you very much for the review, also for testing Linux compatibility! Regarding the M.2 SSD: Is it 2280 form factor? (I cannot do with less than 4TB, so would need to upgrade this.)
Saw this only now. It appears to be cheaper in Italy and Germany than 2500 € as mentioned in the video. Where did you get this price from? And have any of you seen it for an even better price by now?
Would you say that the *Core Ultra 7* variant would a better pick for long-term battery health and heat management? considering the lesser-resolution screen and less-intensive chip on the base model that should perhaps take a lesser toll on the battery and system. And do you know if there's a way to switch it to Windows 11 Pro? Their site says that that's what ASUS recommends but they don't seem to give you an option to do it.
The chipset would make much of a difference to battery life but the lower Res screens definitely would give battery life improvements over the top spec model here.
How much weight can the Duo support when it is in elevated mode? I heard that ths kickstand can handle 15 kg but what about the hinge for the top screen? Would you know if it can ha dle about 5 lbs of weight?
Im trying to run tiktok live studio and my serato dj pro programs and my current dell latitude 5410 is not liking it. How does this one handle multiple programs simultaneously?
They have to come out wit a version like what they did with the Zephyrus pro duo, or it is not a powerhouse! 1. It needs to me 15.6-17"... i know that it will be heavier 2. 1080pm is sufficient to the average consumer. 3. It needs dedicated graphics.... 4. The top screen can be just as thin, just bigger
Thank you for your video, it is very good, I have the same i9 Laptop and when I tried to use premiere Pro with 4k videos, very basic videos with just a little color editing, when I put playback on full and press the Play button it stutters :/, the video is not fluid and that worries me... am I possibly doing something wrong? The settings in Premiere are set to GPU accelerator. Something that needs to be modified in the system? like performance etc? any suggestions? Thank you 🙂
what about the lag when you flip/orientate the screen? =/ This issue make it looks really like an 2015 Android device it can be fixed with a firmware upgrade?
The only one who answered all my questions. Can i run adobe 2 screen and can i have screen the keyboard. Thank you good sir. Now can you do both at same time. Full screen preview up top and then half screen digital key board and other half screen the time line in adobe
Wish it would have come with an NVME M2 storage slot to upgrade storage for the price. But it's still an awesome laptop. I'm seriously thinking about getting one.
I'll have to test that distro out soon. There is also the issue of all the software specifically for it that's only available in windows. All the My Asus stuff with many tweets etc like screen and battery care (charge to 80% only) With Linux we miss out on that unfortunately.
True true ;-; But Fedora uses GNOME desktop which automatically opens a virtual keyboard when you tap a text box, if it detects you are in tablet mode on your laptop :D and Linux is well able to handle more than one display, just may need to set it not to mirror it by default!@@TechtabletsEDIT: There are ways to put a charge limit in place on Linux, but those solutions often require a bit of terminal command action! but totally possible
Hi Champ, can you do me a huge favor and benchmark frame rates for STREET FIGHTER 6 at 720P and 1080P both at low graphics. Thank you so much as this will help me a lot, subscribed
I really think to buy one... Its 1700€ for the Ultra 7 with 16 gb of ram. I think the Ultra 9 isnt worth it when its so power limited. For 1700€ its actually not that expensive if you think about it. A normal Ultrabook with that kind of hardware is at least 1200-1500€.
Super/windows key and type manjaro settings. Open that. Then you have 6.7.X kernel and you could try that. Or maybe even 6.8.X experimental. Altought I from "nicco loves linux" that manjaro is shady about some certificates. endeavourOS has latest newer stable kernel. You could try that.
Thank you for the review! Could you tell us what is the PWM of the screen on low brightness levels? For some reason, all reviewers ignore this, even though it may be a complete dealbreaker for some people. For me for sure. I hate OLED's for that.
One of the most complete reviews I've ever seen on this laptop. You deserve more recognition. Keep it up.
Thank you.
Most of the other "reviews" were paid-for ads by Asus. This was an actual review and no one does it better than Chris.
Finally a proper review including benchmarks, battery life and linux support. Great review - thanks 🙏

How is the pen responsiveness? Would it work for taking notes? How about drawing?
I tested it at CES it's very responsive and designed for drawing and writing. But I didn't get one with this unit.
A uni student, I appreciate this review! Would you think its convenient to use the second screen with the Asus pen for notes possibly?
From other reviews, yes. While the top screen is also a touch screen, it wobbles so it would be a little more inconvenient to write on while elevatex but, if you lay it out flat, then you could write on either end.
Amazing, its base variant is value for money. I love it but when we will be able to buy it in India?
Not sure sorry on when it will hit India
With those high temps and subsequent unacceptable throttling, I can think of a perfect use for that easily openable flap under the laptop ;).
Haha
For the next version of this laptop, and taking into account what they managed to do with the PX13, they oughta do the following:
- 13" (to make it more lightweight and portable)
- full 360 degree hinge
- Ryzen AI9 HX 370
- 32 GB RAM
- 120 hz OLED
- up to at least 2TB Storage
- make the bottom screen support haptic feedback, so the onscreen keyboard becomes actuallt useable.
-1x HDMI, 1x USB A, 2x USB4 and fullSD port, or skip it all together (micro is useless)
- Oculink port
- full pen support (Windows; yes wacom is better, but less versatile, and a lot more expensive)
Considering hoe thin the newest Samsung tablet (2024) is, I feel like this could be even thinner.
Now that would be great to see but instead of oculink TB5 if they could and lunar lake?
Can you close and carry the unit without the included keyboard? (What I like about tablets is that I can use my own keyboard.)
Yes you can do that no problem.
The price you got, from where?
I managed to pick it up at 2,300EUR for the 2TB Ultra 9 (maxed out) version.

Thank you very much for the review, also for testing Linux compatibility! Regarding the M.2 SSD: Is it 2280 form factor? (I cannot do with less than 4TB, so would need to upgrade this.)

How's the display in terms of eye comfort?? Does it control the brightness by pwm dimming?
It uses PWM but I'm not sure of the rate in Hz however I've seen no flickering.

what about the lag when you flip/orientate the screen? =/
This issue make it looks really like an 2015 Android device it can be fixed with a firmware upgrade?
Would you worry about heat reduce lifespan of lower OLED display?
IYO what is a more powerful and battery efficient device , this zenbook duo or the new zenbook 14 oled ?
This but only just compared to the new Zenbook 14 OLED. Really not much in it.
Would this work for serato dj pro, DJ music controller software?
This could be my future upgrade, if not for the glossy freaking screens! I'll stick to my Acer ConceptD for now
Unfortunately all OLEDs will be glosslsy to get that contrast and deep blacks.
Although the fact that you can draw on both screens are really enticing
The only one who answered all my questions. Can i run adobe 2 screen and can i have screen the keyboard. Thank you good sir. Now can you do both at same time. Full screen preview up top and then half screen digital key board and other half screen the time line in adobe
can the virtual keyboard be sized to a mini version? like how small it can get on an ipad
Is the ultra 5 version good for coding a lil bit gaming editing 3d modelling and all general tasks?
Yes but gaming on low settings and Res.
@@Techtablets thanks am good with kinda low graphics gaming since am used to it
I'll definitely consider this laptop
When is it coming out ?
Wish it would have come with an NVME M2 storage slot to upgrade storage for the price. But it's still an awesome laptop. I'm seriously thinking about getting one.
What would this be like for emulation upto the switch and old games pre saying 2016? So not current games
Yes for those older lighter titles it's okay.
My only concern is: that's a lot of screen wobble already! Are those bevels strong? Frightening to think what that might look like after 2-3yrs
Wobble can't really be avoided but I think it will be fine. I saw the teardown of it in CES back in Jan and it looked good the hinges.
What about Fedora Linux? That tends to have a lot better Hardware Support than Manjaro
I'll have to test that distro out soon. There is also the issue of all the software specifically for it that's only available in windows. All the My Asus stuff with many tweets etc like screen and battery care (charge to 80% only) With Linux we miss out on that unfortunately.
True true ;-; But Fedora uses GNOME desktop which automatically opens a virtual keyboard when you tap a text box, if it detects you are in tablet mode on your laptop :D and Linux is well able to handle more than one display, just may need to set it not to mirror it by default!@@TechtabletsEDIT: There are ways to put a charge limit in place on Linux, but those solutions often require a bit of terminal command action! but totally possible
It needs to be at least 3k resolution for me to buy it for their price Im shocked they didn't do this
They are both 3k OLEDs on this high end model.
@@Techtablets what's the model name and suspected release date?
Model is the Zenbook Duo UX8406 that I've reviewed I think it's now out in Europe at last here in Spain it is.
@@Techtablets Meant for the US?
I thought the ARC GPU should be little better... I am dissapointed. For this price...
Hi Champ, can you do me a huge favor and benchmark frame rates for STREET FIGHTER 6 at 720P and 1080P both at low graphics. Thank you so much as this will help me a lot, subscribed
So SF 6 1080p low settings I get 55-60 fps. Haven't tested 720p but it should be 90-100fps
Thanks, but Any chance making a benchmark video with street fighter 6?
What would you say now its available below 2000 euro
Now below 1400 USD
I really think to buy one... Its 1700€ for the Ultra 7 with 16 gb of ram. I think the Ultra 9 isnt worth it when its so power limited.
For 1700€ its actually not that expensive if you think about it. A normal Ultrabook with that kind of hardware is at least 1200-1500€.
22:35 Which kernel did you use when testing linux?
Linux Manjaro build XFCE desktop version. Runs but not all was working.
Super/windows key and type manjaro settings. Open that. Then you have 6.7.X kernel and you could try that. Or maybe even 6.8.X experimental. Altought I from "nicco loves linux" that manjaro is shady about some certificates. endeavourOS has latest newer stable kernel. You could try that.
now what were to happen if i kept it plugged in only for gaming?
thx for testing linux support
But u didn’t say how to present the touch keyboard???
I already bought it. I'm a developer. I need dual screen setup. I don't mind ssd speed.
Nice enjoy!
Good bro but give us Xiaomi 14 Vs S24 review we are waiting 😢
I didn't get one sadly.
There is a 60 hz, 1920x1200 display variant which should get better battery life.
Much better I would say, far less demanding resolution.
good review. thanks
Thanks for watching!
What kind of keyboard is this?
Can you run Llama on this machine?
Can you upgrade the storage?
Thank you for the review! Could you tell us what is the PWM of the screen on low brightness levels? For some reason, all reviewers ignore this, even though it may be a complete dealbreaker for some people. For me for sure. I hate OLED's for that.
We haven't been told the PWM Hz from Asus I don't know it but I haven't had issues with flickering with the screens.
price is justified, you have so much with those screens and hi end cpu. 2 TB should be included though (or cost just 100 euros more)
I do feel it should be 2TB yes for the price. Shame that hatch didn't mine up with the SSD that would have been perfect for easy upgrades.
500 nits, is not too low?
Nope with a glossy screen like this I was normally running about 200nits indoors just fine.
@@Techtablets obviously indoor it’s always great, but for outdoors I think it is not
You can see it outdoors but the reflections... Big issue needs a matte screen projector over it.
Gosh, windows laptops don't even have batterie for one screen I can imagine with two.
Well using it as a normal laptop in laptop mode the battery is great (for windows) but running the two screens halves the battery life more or less.
@@Techtablets What you mean great, 14 Hours without charge in normal use ?
A 16 inch dual screen with nummeric keypad would be perfect
but can it do 3d rendering?
Nothing too demanding but if it is you need a TB3/4 egpu.
