ASUS has released the new Zenbook Duo UX8407 at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas – a remarkable upgrade over last year’s model with slimmer bezels, improved performance and longer battery life.
ASUS also unveiled the new Zenbook A16 which packs in a host of new technologies and features inside its 1.2kg chassis.
ASUS ZENBOOK DUO – UX8407
The Asus Zenbook Duo has a stunning dual screen design that now delivers more power and is even more portable so users can enjoy an upgraded experience on the move.
The Zenbook Duo has a full Ceraluminum chassis that keeps it lightweight yet adds remarkable durability to the form factor.
There are two 14-inch 3K ASUS Lumina Pro OLED narrow bezel displays which offer exceptional brightness and contrast.
It also has a redesigned structure that reduces the gap between screens.
And not only does it look good it also sounds good as well thanks to the new six speaker Dolby Atmos audio system which can transform the device into a powerful entertainment system.
Under the hood is the Intel Core Ultra X9 Series 3 processor and it is powered by a dual 99Wh battery layout so customers can enjoy extended runtime and desktop grade performance anywhere.
And for the first time the Zenbook Duo has Copilot+ PC built in.
And there’s no need to worry about durability.
Every part of the Zenbook Duo’s design has been honed to withstand daily wear and tear and the demands of travel and dynamic workflows.
The Ceraluminum provides both strength and lightness while the new hideaway hinge and redesigned integrated kickstand offer reliability and stable positioning in every operating mode.
It also has a strength and full size Bluetooth keyboard with a reinforced frame for long-term reliability.
The keyboard attaches magnetically to the lower screen so users can enter regular laptop mode.
Having two OLED displays create a massive workspace for on the go users.
Each display is Dolby Vision certified with each achieving up to 1000 nits peak brightness with a 48-144Hz variable refresh rate.
It also features an anti-reflection coating to improve hardware clarity and avoid distractions.
ASUS ZENBOOK A16 – UX3607
The new ASUS Zenbook A16 is the laptop that is both ultra-portable and offers impressive performance.
The device is powered by the 18-core Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme Processor with pro level graphics and an 18 TOPS NPU that’s all squeezed into a lightweight 1.2 kg chassis.
The laptop is built from ASUS’s proprietary Ceraluminum material which offers durability and scratch and smudge resistance.
The Zenbook A16 has a 16-inch 3K ASUS Lumina OLED display with up to 1100 nits brightness.
Despite the size of the screen, the laptop’s sleek Ceraluminum lightweight chassis keeps the weight down to just 1.2 kg which is actually lighter than many 14-inch laptops on the market.
On the performance side, users can now handle tasks like a media editing and rendering with these and enjoy impressive gaming performance.
So whether you’re running creative workloads or handling multiple productivity applications, the Zenbook A16 can handle any scenario with lag-free performance.
