In terms of weight, it’s a similar story, sliding into the middle of the pack at 3.74 pounds.

It’s 0.70 inches thick – which sits right in between the thicker Surface Laptop Studio and the thinner MacBook Pro 14-inch. That’s impressive given the amount of complexity that’s introduced by the ScreenPad Plus.Įven still, Asus managed to keep the chassis fairly trim. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a weak spot in the design. The Zenbook Pro 14 Duo is an exceptionally well-built machine. It’s all been replaced with a simpler and more structurally sound design that sits flat on the table like most laptops do. More than that, it felt like a lot of moving parts that could be easily damaged.

The ErgoLift was supposed to provide a natural incline for comfortable typing and improve airflow, but between it and the tilt of the ScreenPad Plus hinge, it was rather unsightly. This is now gone, which I am happy about. Previous versions of the Zenbook Pro 14 Duo also included an ErgoLift hinge, which propped up the bottom of the laptop. The only stock ScreenPad applications are a simple calculator, a handwriting app, and some basic navigation. I say that because Asus doesn’t provide many ideas itself. There’s the cool factor of it all, yes, but you’d better have some ideas of your own for how you envision yourself using a feature like this. Of course, whether you actually buy into the idea of the need for a second screen on your laptop is up to you. This results in a more impressive and, ultimately, more useful secondary screen.
It also tilts higher, up to 12 degrees, giving you a better view of the screen and more seamlessly connecting it to the main screen above. The 32:10 secondary screen now measures 12.7 inches across, with a resolution of 2880 x 864.
Notably, Asus has made the ScreenPad Plus is a bit larger by removing some of the bezel around the screen.
None of this is new to the line, of course, but there are a number of improvements that Asus has brought to the table this year. The ScreenPad Plus, as it’s called, tilts up at an angle, and forces the touchpad and keyboard down below.
