Quick Hands-On Review
At the event, I got an opportunity to spend some time with Asus Zenbook Duo and Asus Zenbook Pro Duo. I am providing a quick review based on that experience only. Both laptops are great when it comes to their design it is sleek, stylish and bold. Each laptop of Zenbook pro series holds the same model.

Now coming up to the Unique Selling Point of product that is a dual screen the regular screen is the first screen right after that at the bottom a secondary display is given after that keyboard is given. The proper keyboard space is shared by a secondary display and keyboard together. The best thing about the laptop is despite having Screen Pad and Keyboard it doesn’t miss out the mousepad and feeling Incredible Right! The company sets the mouse pad on the very right of the keyboard. It works effectively to control the main screen of the laptop. Only the secondary display is touch sensitive and can be used just by touching it.

The second best thing which I loved most about this laptop is you have the power to view a picture on more prominent mode. Yes, it is possible now if want to open, and if you’re going to see the world map primarily it will display on the first screen only, but if you’re going to increase viewing experience, you can extend the map till the second screen quickly by using the touchpad.
