ASUS announced the availability and pricing of the Zenbook DUO and Zenbook 14 OLED in the Philippines. This announcement occurred during its Transcendence event on March 7, 2024. Both laptops carry best-in-class 3K ASUS Lumina OLED displays with accurate colors and customizable settings. For an immersive audio experience, they also feature a Harman Kardon-certified audio system with Dolby Atmos support.
Both are also Intel Evo edition laptops with the latest Intel Core Ultra 7 processor. The Core Ultra 7’s integrated Neural Processing Unit delivers seamless AI experiences thanks to its low-latency AI computing for better battery life. These laptops also carry a versatile connectivity suite consisting of two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port, an HDMI 2.1 port, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. All of these features converge into laptops with sleek, eco-conscious, and highly portable designs.
Standout Features of the Zenbook DUO
The one complaint I usually hear when it comes to laptops for productivity is the lack of screen real estate. The traditional way of dealing with that is by getting a laptop with a bigger display, but that sacrifices portability. With the ASUS Zenbook DUO, you get the best of both worlds!
Double The Display, Double The Fun!
The Zenbook DUO features dual OLED touchscreen displays for productivity that no traditional laptop can match. These displays support precise stylus input with the ASUS Pen 2.0 that’s great for note-taking. For a more customizable experience when multitasking, this device has integrated ScreenXpert software that uses smartphone-like gestures to enable functionalities like summoning a virtual keyboard or easy switching between displays.
A Multitasking Machine
Speaking of multitasking, this device offers four different modes depending on what you need to do. Laptop Mode brings a traditional clamshell form factor while removing the detachable keyboard enables Dual Screen Mode. The latter lets you use both displays as one 19.8-inch screen real estate or use them separately.
With the laptop hinge aligned vertically, you can use both displays in portrait with Desktop Mode. This is especially useful when you need to have multiple worksheets or documents open while having web browser windows at the same time.
Collaboration is made easier with Sharing Mode. Thanks to the device’s 180° hinge, you can lay it flat to enable both displays to share the same content. It’s nice when you need to show a presentation to a client while marking stuff using the ASUS Pen 2.0.
Performance That Supports Its Multitasking Prowess
If you’re worried that this laptop can’t hang, then don’t fret. The ASUS Zenbook DUO uses an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and 1TB of PCIe 4.0 SSD storage.
The Zenbook DUO comes in an Inkwell Gray color and retails for P129,995. It includes a complimentary lifetime license to Office 2021 Home & Student (worth P6,999) and a 1-month free Adobe Cloud subscription (worth P8,000).
Standout Features of the Zenbook 14 OLED
If you just need a reliable stylish laptop that can do most tasks well, then the ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED is for you! It rocks a thinner and lighter design at 1.2 kg with a 14.9 mm profile which is ideal for on-the-go users. Its 3K ASUS Lumina OLED display goes up to 600 nits brightness and has an 87% screen-to-body ratio.
This laptop features an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor with Intel Arc graphics, 1TB of PCIe 4.0 SSD storage, and 16GB of DDR5 RAM. It also offers the ASUS ErgoSense keyboard and touchpad for a comfortable typing experience. Its FHD IR camera has a physical shutter and support for Windows Hello facial recognition that helps protect your privacy.
If you’re someone who enjoys watching movies on your laptop, then its Super Linear speaker technology offers superior audio quality.
The Zenbook 14 OLED is available in a Ponder Blue color and starts at P63,995. Like its dual-screen brother, it also includes a complimentary lifetime license to Office 2021 Home & Student (worth P6,999) and a 1-month free Adobe Cloud subscription (worth P8,000).
