ASUS on Monday announced ZenBook Pro Duo (UX581), a laptop featuring the new ScreenPad Plus, a 14-inch full-width secondary touchscreen that expands the capabilities offered by the original ASUS ScreenPad.
ScreenPad Plus integrates seamlessly with the primary display and the built-in ScreenXpert software, includes a wide selection of apps, tools and utilities, that allow users enjoy the efficiency benefits of ScreenPad Plus.
ZenBook Pro Duo features a 4K ultra-high-definition (UHD) OLED touchscreen, a 4K ScreenPad Plus and a touchpad.
The primary 4K OLED display offers super slim bezels with a 100,000:1 contrast ratio, 100 per cent coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, and HDR support.
Any window from the primary screen can be dragged and dropped to the secondary display. This means that you can use up to three apps at once or even use the second screen as an extension to the primary display.
There is a keyboard at the bottom of the deck, while the touchpad is to the right. Interestingly, this touchpad doubles as a touch-sensitive number pad.
Unveiled ahead of the Computex 2019 trade show, which will kick off in Taipei on May 28, the display has a frameless four-sided ASUS NanoEdge design, with ultra-slim bezels for immersive visuals and an ultra-compact form factor.
