Are there any alternatives?

Many of the competitors to this laptop are also made by Asus. The Zenbook 14 Duo has the same secondary screen concept, but lacks the performance of the Zenbook Pro 14 Duo. Meanwhile, the ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 translates that concept to the world of PC gaming with better graphics and an ROG keyboard.

　　

How long will it last?

The battery is the biggest concern regarding the longevity of the Zenbook Pro 14 Duo. Battery life degrades over time, so your couple of hours of usage may be reduced even further a few years down the line. Beyond that, the Zenbook Pro 14 Duo is well-built, futureproofed in terms of ports, and uses the very latest components. It should last at least four or five years — so long as you’re plugged into an outlet.

　　

Should you buy it?

Yes. If the idea of a dual-screen laptops has always interested in you, the Zenbook Pro 14 Duo no longer feels like an experiment. It’s a powerful laptop that’s every bit as premium as other laptops in this price range — with the extra bonus of a second screen.
