- On pre-order in Q1 2026, Asus' Zenbook Duo arrives later this year after the reviewer spent two weeks with an Intel-shipped unit and found it snappy for everyday tasks.
- Engineered around Intel's Panther Lake chips, the Duo pairs two stacked 14‑inch OLED touchscreens with a detachable magnetic keyboard for mobile multi‑screen workflows and houses the Intel Core Ultra X9 388H.
- With a redesigned hinge, the Duo achieves a 70% smaller gap between screens versus last year, while its magnetic keyboard charges via pogo pins on the bottom screen and the kickstand props to around 90 degrees.
