What you need to know

- The laptop comes equipped with some seriously powerful specs and a huge second screen for multitasking.
- The ZenBook Pro Duo (UX581) is available to order now for $2,500 or $3,000.
The second screen is half the height of the main display, but it stretches across the full width of the ZenBook Pro Duo's body. It can be used either as a full second display by dragging apps to it, or as a dedicated dock for things like video previews, timeline controls, code windows, or audio mixing panels. It also makes a good surface for drawing with the included stylus.
Backing up those screens are 9th Gen Intel Core processors, with your choice of a Core i9-9980HK or Core i7-9750H. You can equip the laptop with up to 32GB of RAM, a 1TB PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD for storage. There's also support for Wi-Fi 6 and a dedicated "Turbo Fan" button to get a cooling boost when needed.
