Full HDMI is really important in corporate usage, good job Asus for keeping it

[betterchapter]

Apple: We introduce touchbar

Asus: Hold my Screen.

[batosia]

Remember they probably made these at least a few weeks if not more ago and now can release the video with the CES NDA lifted, hence why multiple videos in one day. It will probably be like this for the rest of the week while CES is going

[lecherousjester]

This looks like it could be a really popular form factor for laptops in the future - really solves a lot of modern issues that no one's tackled yet

[quehablo]

This is one of the best ways to do a dual-screen. Sure, it has *some* problems with ergonomics, but this mechanism is far superior to a second screen that folds from the back (and is therefore unprotected when folded up). You can also do three screens, folding on the sides, but that has more ergonomics issues and is HEAVY.

[joshuadmytryshyn]

This is the first dual screen I actually like. Very marketable I see this becoming standard for dual screen laptops. Well done asus

[cypherfunc]

IMO the most useful aspect here is that the kickstand lifts your main screen closer to eye level. Looking down at normal laptops is really not great on your neck and back, especially for taller folks. 👍

[BlueScreenyt]

My favorite part about this concept as a work laptop is that at my in-office and WFH setup, I have an external keyboard and mouse. So normally my laptop keyboard and trackpad just takes up extra space on my desk. By adding a second screen, it can turn that empty space into some amount of usable space, which i could actually see being perfect for keeping teams or email open.

I am honestly impressed with CES 2024 already. Some wacky announcements, but most of them really have some tangible use cases, and I'm all up for it.

[DeeTofa]

I love this thing. As a college student who is always studying some where random on campus, this would be a game changer for having lectures or videos on the top screen and notepad at the bottom.

[wittywilla]

I can't get over how cheap that price is. I'm super excited to see other laptop brands do similar tech!

[marsrover]

First alternative form factor laptop I've ever seen that actually makes sense.

[garapueto]

The Lenovo Yoga Book 9i was first to do this last year and clearly inspired. The keyboard is half the size and the IO is lacking. Plus the kick stand is not attached, but rather, a separate piece. This looks like a promising alternative.

[RILDIGITAL]

This ASUS Zenbook Duo appears to be an innovative game-changer given the dual-screen concept. Interesting to see how much thought was put into its design, right down to the small yet significant details. The productivity boost this could provide is intriguing.

[bttlemastr]

I personally don't like having dual screens vertically that much, but just the ability to detach the keyboard and essentially turn it into a tablet/monitor and a wireless keyboard is pretty cool.

[Toastmaster_]

This is one of the few cases where a display that can flip 180 degrees would make a lot more sense. Having it formed like a tent would be a lot more beneficial than most laptops that can bend backwards. Think of it like having your presentation on one side and notes on the other.

[eldibs]

That kickstand is pretty cool. Almost as cool as what laptops used to have - little panels you could take off with just a screwdriver to do RAM and drive upgrades.

[TechDaddyFr]

Finally a dual screen laptop that makes sense ... BUT:
1. This type of keyboard is always terrible to use.
2. I don't expect any decent performance from a laptop that slim. Video editing is probably out of question.
That's the problem with sponsored videos, these things are never pointed out.

[Dan-Simms]

Actually a very cool product. Been waiting for this, Linus sure seems to like it, he's been whipping it out on WAN Show for a few weeks.

[Nostalgia_Realm]

Hey look, finally something in the laptop space that is not just a gimmick
