ASUSZenbook DUO UX8406C 14.0" 3K 400nits 120Hz OLED Touchscreen Laptop (Intel Core Ultra 9 285H, 32GB RAM, 2TB PCi G4 SSD, Dual Screen, Windows 11) Ships with Soft Keyboard

I had been intrigued by the ZenBook Duo for a while, but looked at it as a bit of gimmick.When a needed a new Laptop, principally to use in meetings, I realised that the dual screen was ideal as it allowed me to follow the agenda or presentation and make in-meeting notes all at the same time without having to decipher my hand made notes afterwards.When I received the new Laptop, it more than lived-up to it's expectations. Not only did I get a fast laptop with a bright, high resolution touch screen display - but I got a Laptop with two of them!The ZenBook Duo is a dream to use, and although you get a very nice stylus as well, I find that the screens are so responsive, I hardly need to use it. I had worried that I might not be able to read the 14" screen easily, let alone the second screen, but because of the combination of high resolution, high background illumination and good contrast there has never been a problem, even in brightly lit environments.I have had this Laptop for about five weeks now, and it still blows my socks off! From its sleek lines, its tilted second screen and its gently illuminated keyboard - it just ticks all the boxes.I would thoroughly recommend this Laptop. My only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner!

Great laptop, good battery life, dual (or quad in my case :) screen, picture taken with extra aftermarket displays) screen makes it easy to work on. If you travel, but still need multi screen set-up, this is the way to go. Performance adequate for everything (maybe heavy gaming would need something more), I did not notice any issues running additional screens, crispy graphics, comfy, illuminated keyboard, great value for money. Definitely recommend!

For me, this design is absolutely perfect. I love to use multiple screens, which is not easy when you travel. The second screen of this device is perfect for my needs. I tend to have apps I regularly access - like Teams, Zoom, Messenger or Skype - running below, so I can be communicating with people, and still access documents, email etc above.I bought my first Zenbook Duo - a 15.6" version - in 2020. It has been brilliant, although quite heavy and battery life is a joke. Now I have bought the latest 14" version, and it is even better. I love the way the second screen how tilts. This aids vision, and should help cool the device. I am happy with the keyboard, and always use a mouse, so the odd trackpad location doesn't bother me. I also don't understand the complaints about battery life. I am getting three hours from this new device, and it is a top end model with i7 and separate graphics.If you want a superbly built device that will offer the versatility of a second screen, this laptop will be perfect for you. I have no doubt that this latest 13th gen version will not be my last. It has made me a firm advocate of Asus.

edit: --- DO NOT BUY --- the reason for this is stated at the bottom of my review.It's alright, everything feels very OK. For me the touch screen was a little too sensitive and you can't switch it off really, which means when angling the screen up and down I end up closing a tab or a window by accident.For a while when writing or doing general tasks on the computer a black bar would randomly flicker into view, sometimes the entire screen would blink black.I like the mousepad being on the right, it's surprisingly intuitive, it might get on your nerves if you're left handed though.It comes with a pen, which is a heavy metal stylus, it doesn't really do much for me personally. It would be cool if I could use it for drawing, but that's not what the screen is designed for so no luck there.The screen is a matt touchscreen, it's very very good, it knows where you're clicking and is rarely problematic, the only issue is not being able to turn it off in an accessible way like I mentioned. But yes, very satisfying to use it, much prefer it to shiny touchscreens which leave a finger trail behind no matter what and allow you to stare back at your reflection all day.My main gripe with this computer is the screen is very fragile. Initially when I bought it, it arrived with this tiny chip off in the bottom right corner, which was vaguely annoying but didn't seem to affect the computer and I had to leave for another country and work from my laptop so I couldn't do anything about it.I couldn't even see it really because the second screen lifts over it. Then I saw a line around the chip, that worried me but I couldn't do anything about it, then the plastic around it lifted up, then most recently a line appeared in the actual main screen and caused the touch screen to malfunction so that I had to disable it in order to be able to move my cursor.The thing is Asus have a thing called Asus Premium Care, which covers accidental, which no matter what I say it would have to fall under, but in the UK they don't cover accidental, so I'm going to have to pay for a new screen and I have no idea how expensive that will be given the odd type of thin matt touchscreen it is.All in all I kind of like the laptop (we'll see how much love is left after I get the bill for the screen replacement), the keyboard is nice, the mousepad on the right is nice, touchscreen feels really nice. Basically everything I like about it is a little bit superficial but if that's what you're looking for this is a good laptop.---- Downgraded from 2 stars to 1 star upon finding out that replacing the screen costs nearly £600 so I can't afford that. Yes, this is a laptop for rich people, I still think that's actually outrageous.Break or chip your screen, it will get worse simply through normal usage on an office desk, and that's £600 to fix.

Pc works great. No complaints there. But the hinges are quite poor and fail after about 12-18 months. Do not open the screen in a hot car. The screen is held together when double sided tape, which softens in the heat. If the hinges are starting to stiffen you end up with a cracked screen. Ask me how I know 😅
