The Asus Zenbook Pro Duo has been given a serious boost, thanks to CES 2021

ASUS today announced that the 15.6-inch ZenBook Pro Duo 15 OLED has gotten a big boost, across the board, thanks to new internals and new design features.

These new two-screen models introduce the tilting ASUS ScreenPad™ Plus, a full-width secondary touchscreen with a new auto-tilt mechanism that improves readability, aids cooling, and works seamlessly with the main display for effortless multitasking and creativity.

The ZenBook Pro Duo 15 OLED is powered by up to a high-performance Intel Core i9 processor, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 laptop GPU and up to 32 GB RAM to make light work of demanding cross-screen workflows using the 14-inch 4K UHD ScreenPad Plus — which now has an improved brightness of 400 nits — and the main display. Ultrafast storage with up to a 1 TB PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD helps accelerate any creative workflow and optimise productivity. ZenBook Pro Duo 15 OLED is one of the first NVIDIA Studio laptops with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series laptop GPUs — NVIDIA's second-generation RTX architecture that offers GPU acceleration for ray tracing, artificial intelligence, and video encoding that allows artists to create in record time.

The 4K OLED HDR NanoEdge touchscreen in ZenBook Pro Duo 15 OLED has a frameless four-sided slim-bezel design with a 93% screen-to-body ratio that maximises screen space. The brilliant OLED display technology delivers ultra-vivid colours and deep blacks, with a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, facts confirmed by the display's VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification. Superb colour accuracy for graphics professionals is ensured by the PANTONE Validated certification, and ZenBook Pro Duo 15 OLED also has an exceptionally wide colour gamut with 100% DCI-P3 coverage. TÜV Rheinland-certified eye care ensures low blue-light levels to protect the user's eyes during long content-creation sessions.

Prices and a release date, is expected to be revealed in February, so stay tuned for those. We reviewed the first model a few years back now and loved it, check out that review here.
