The ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 Duo (UX8402ZE) has quite a number of configurations, mostly as a result of the three variations on the CPU.

This also allows for better cross-screen multitasking, switching apps and windows easily between the two screens. That is no longer the case with the new ScreenXpert 3 software. It would often take a few seconds to open any of the taskbar apps. What I noticed most of all, in terms of improvements, is the much faster response over previous models. It still doesn’t have palm rests around the area, so you’ll need to disable the keyboard if you want comfortable writing on the touchscreen. It lifts the secondary display to about 12° for comfortable usage. ASUS has swapped the older ErgoLift hinge for the AAS Ultra hinge. One of the negative aspects of the previous Zenbook Duo was the uncomfortable hinge, both on the main and secondary displays. This is slightly larger than the previous, 12.6” variant. It, too, offers a 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut range, although on a smaller 12.7” display.

It may not be listed as a gaming unit but is capable of delivering great visual performance for all your gaming needs while offering immersive visuals for your movies to boot.Īll of that and I haven’t even touched on the evolved ScreenPad Plus display as yet. This makes the picture brilliant for all your editing needs, so you don’t have to worry about colour reproduction on images and video developed. And this is very visible to notice even for a moderate user. This means that it provides quite realistic and vibrant colours, while simultaneously offering the deepest blacks. It has a 100% DCI-P3 Colour Gamut rating and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification. Thankfully, the ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 Duo (UX8402ZE) delivers. While the above-mentioned are great in terms of on-paper specifications, the real-world tests also play a huge role in overall performance. This makes for super clear images that load within a fraction of a second. What really stands out here, however, is the 0.2ms response time. An impressive stat about the unit is that it’s the world’s first OLED laptop to sport a 120Hz refresh rate.

The Zephyrus Duo, on the other hand, provided two options – a 1080p panel at 300Hz and a 4K panel at 120Hz. It’s not quite 4K but better than 2K – something in between.įor the previous model, the Zenbook Duo sported a more conventional LCD panel, which also had a standard refresh rate of 60Hz. This new OLED panel offers up to 2,880×1,800px resolution, which is not a standard resolution size. In addition to this, the ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 Duo (UX8402ZE) increases the screen size slightly with its 14.5” panel. One of the big improvements in the range of Zenbook Duo units is the switch from LED to OLED screens.
As for the keyboard, its compact nature also means that it makes typing a bit trickier, even without the issue of not having palm rests.
While I don’t often use the touchpad on many laptops, it’s so small on the Duo that you probably wouldn’t be able to use it all that much. One aspect of the ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 Duo (UX8402ZE) design that is still a bit on the wonky side is the compact keyboard and touchpad. These two elements look visually different, while at the same time adding a much more streamlined design performance. Additionally, when opening the lid, you don’t get the sharp endpoint that would eat into your thighs during longer uses. For starters, when you open the lid on the updated model, it also lifts the secondary screen, so it doesn’t lie flush with the keyboard. One of the key differences between the two models lies in the hinge. Although, you still have to factor in that extra 420g additional weight on the charger if you’re going to be away from your desk for a while. This means that it has a 1.7KG overall weight, which isn’t bad for portability. However, there is a slight difference in the overall weight, with the ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 Duo (UX8402ZE) shaving off some 150g in excess weight. If you compare the two units side-by-side, their sizing on dimensions is nearly identical. Many of the changes aren’t what you’d consider ‘aesthetic’ with only a few minor tweaks here and there. From the previous version of the Zenbook Duo, there aren’t all that many noticeable updates at face value.
