ASUS ZenBook Duo 14 Top View with Dual Screen Side Angle Display View of ZenBook Duo 14
Dual Display– ZenBook Duo 14 as the name suggest comes with dual displays, it is far most comfortable dual-display laptop I have tired with sufficient brightness on both the screen, although Screenpad+ loose a little dull and can be brighter but if you are using it as a secondary display for Adobe Taskpad editing, as a media player, using it as scroller, opened extra usable apps as a consideration so this works great, even for writing or note making this make you job easy or piling up web pages while working to create less chaos on the main screen.
My ASUS Special Feature Settings- Settings like True2life, AI Noise cancellation, AI Typing insight, Smart battery controller, WiFi Booster are some amazing features that you get on here to make it more advance. True2Life gives an enhancement to the colours of the screen adding a depth and HDR effect to it, AI Noise Cancellation is usable for Meetings, Voice recording, presentations without mic that help to reduce most of the disturbing sounds around you & it works like a charm, AI Insight is for writers or editor that suggest work correction or full word with letter guessing and some more cool features.
Uplift Mechanism with Airflow under hinge– When you open the laptop so hinge mechanism on this one feels like an addition to design with great design building and a thought put on this laptop. It not only adds a lift to the secondary screen for better viewing but also helps in airflow which keeps ZenBook Duo 14 cool and stable in temperatures, the base gets a height and vents get space for air intake.
Honest Experience and Review of ZenBook Duo 14 as User with Pricing-
Not to hide, ZenBook 14 is expensive. The base variant with i7 11th comes for around 1lakh Indian Rupees with Intel Iris Xe Graphics, where NVIDIA Variant cost around 1.35lakhs that’s obv not cheap.
If you are looking to buy this laptop so keep in mind that this is not a Gaming machine, you can do light gaming on it at low Graphics with around 50-60FPS but cant expend it to run AAA titles at 80FPS because its a business style machine for creators, hackers or coders and developers.
You can definitely run the heaviest software on this fluently and even do video rendering at high frame rates because power is added with 32GB DDR RAM and Intel i7 11th Gen processor so there is no lack in that, also variant we received had Iris Xe graphics that we tested for the first-time os in that as well it has given great results.
But But But!, if you are spending this much and confused to buy ZenBook Duo 14 (2021) vs TUF or ROG series by ASUS so we always suggest gaming laptop over any other normal or premium laptop because the Specs you get against it is unmatchable.

Also, experience says itself, Yes it is not a convertible or anything like Lenovo Yoga or Dell XPS series but a diff form factor designing has been done here which has its own catch. I personally suggest it to those who have money in pocket, like to spend, get something exclusive and have loads of work to do and want fast processing in every task.
