Asus ZenBook Pro Duo Is an Extravagant Laptop With Two 4K Screens

mardi 28 mai 2019, 21:25 , par Slashdot/Apple
Asus always likes to use its hometown trade show of Computex, which also happens to be the world's biggest computer hardware event, to show off a wide and occasionally wild lineup of new products. And it's really outdone itself this time -- the headline announcement is one of the most decadent laptops ever created. From a report: The ZenBook Pro Duo has not one, but two 4K screens. (At least if you're counting horizontal pixels.) There's a 15-inch 16:9 OLED panel where you'd normally find the display on a laptop, then a 32:9 IPS 'ScreenPad Plus' screen directly above the keyboard that's the same width and half the height. It's as if Asus looked at the MacBook Pro Touch Bar and thought 'what if that, but with 32 times as many pixels?'

Unlike the Touch Bar, though, the ScreenPad Plus doesn't take anything away from the ZenBook Pro Duo, except presumably battery life. Asus still included a full-sized keyboard with a function row, including an escape key, and the trackpad is located directly to the right. The design is very reminiscent of Asus' Zephryus slimline gaming laptops -- you even still get the light-up etching that lets you use the trackpad as a numpad. Asus has built some software for the ScreenPad Plus that makes it more of a secondary control panel, but you can also use it as a full-on monitor, or even two if you want to split it into two smaller 16:9 1080p windows. No word on pricing yet.
