The ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 Duo OLED is the Taiwan company’s latest 14-inch dual-screen laptop, built to be light, powerful, and for content creators. Powered with the latest 12th Gen Intel processors, the laptop is compactly packed with everything creators would need to produce videos, broadcast live streams, or just relax by catching up on the latest drama and anime series – anywhere they are, especially if they are on the move.
The key difference here is with the dual display that mirrors the convenience of having a second screen, but without the hassle of actually having two devices, and using it on the go, from working at a cafe, to up in the skies during a flight.
Of course, the experience wouldn’t be top-notch if it wasn’t for the unified experience the device brings, from performance, aesthetics, and feature-based functionality. Members of the Zenbook family are known for their innovative-yet-useful elements, and the Pro 14 Duo continues this tradition with several new upgrades, showing why it should be the top pick for content creators and creative professionals.
#1. Excellent and unique OLED displays
The Zenbook Pro 14 Duo sports two screens: a 14.5-inch 2.8K (2880 x 1800) HDR OLED panel, as well as a secondary 12.7-inch ScreenPad Plus that makes viewing and working a pleasure. Colours are accurately reproduced at 100 percent DCI-P3 colour gamut, with a peak screen brightness of 550 nits ensuring what you see is true-to-life, while a 120Hz refresh rate and 0.2 millisecond response time bring a touch of fluidity to the vibrant, natural visuals.
Its 93 percent screen-to-body ratio and 16:10 aspect ratio means that viewable real estate on your laptop is maximised to give creators the best of both performance and portability. The 12-degree auto-tilting ScreenPad Plus with anti-glare coating lets you comfortably view and use the secondary screen, which combined with the touch and stylus functionalities of the screens, allows creators to double up on their productivity with the tool of their choice.
Streamers can keep their live-streaming app running on the ScreenPad Plus while leaving the main screen for focusing on their game. Editing photos or videos? Put reference images or video timelines on the ScreenPad Plus so you stay focused on your post-production tasks. And if you are writing content, having more screen space for checking info and references is always a net positive for productivity.
#2. Powerful chips
The laptop has the latest 12th Gen Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti GPU to let you power through any content you are producing. You can go 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 1TB of PCIe 4.0 x4 SSD storage for maximum performance.
This beastly configuration means you can easily switch between photo editing, checking your feeds, and catching up on the latest movies without a noticeable drop in performance, or even enjoy some light gaming on the side. Do take note, though – you may have to tweak each game’s settings to ensure that the frames-per-second counter remains in the acceptable range.
#3. Cool design for long-lasting performance
The Pro 14 Duo OLED has been designed to stay cool no matter what you are working on, with up to 85W combined thermal design power. Its proprietary IceCool Plus technology, along with AAS Ultra auto-tilting design for the ScreenPad Plus, ensures that the laptop has plenty of vents to expel heat generated by its powerful internal components. What this translates into is responsive and fast performance, even when you are working on load-intensive tasks like video editing.
#4. Lightweight and portable convenience
Content creation has moved from studio-like setups to anytime, anywhere shoot-and-share. At just 18mm thin and 1.7kg in weight, the Zenbook Pro 14 Duo lets you bring your A-game to wherever you need to be. That doesn’t mean connectivity has been compromised – it boasts two Thunderbolt 4 ports, an HDMI 2.1 port, and an SD Express slot, giving you options to set up your workstation to your liking.
#5. A tailored suite of audio-visual features
The Pro 14 Duo comes equipped with a full HD infrared camera, a four-microphone array with AI noise cancellation and smart amplifier, which makes streaming, calling, and sharing easy without having to connect any additional tools. The dynamic duo of Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, meanwhile, allows for added immersion across different forms of entertainment, from cinematic effects in movies and shows to vocals and instrumentals in music.
#6. Built-in Adobe support
Considered one of the leading software developers for content editing, Adobe’s suite of apps such Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects makes post-processing work so much easier for content producers. Now, the ScreenPad Plus comes with its own Adobe control panel, letting you control your brush size, saturation, opacity, and more on the secondary screen while editing your content on the main screen. The seamless integration of both screens lets you get into the groove of your creative workflow, to get your cool stuff out to the world faster than before.
What’s more, the laptop comes with a 3-month free access to the Adobe Creative Cloud and its suite of apps, giving you a headstart into content creation, which is always a welcome bonus.
The ASUS Zenbook Pro 14 Duo OLED comes packed with features to make it a top pick for content creators, no matter if you are just starting out or a veteran in the field. It has the power, performance, and portability to let you create your next viral content wherever you want. As an added bonus, it looks pretty good too. The laptop is available now from S$3,699 on ASUS online store.
