Singapore, 14th January, 2021 — ASUS today announces the latest laptops in the ZenBook series, headed up by the 15.6-inch ZenBook Pro Duo 15 OLED (UX582) and the 14-inch ZenBook Duo 14(UX482), which are both recipients of prestigious 2021 CES® Innovation Awards. These new two-screen models introduce the tilting ASUS ScreenPad™ Plus, a full-width secondary touchscreen with a new auto-tilt mechanism that improves readability, aids cooling, and works seamlessly with the main display for effortless multitasking and creativity.
ZenBook Pro Duo 15 OLED delivers flagship performance, with up to a 10th Generation Intel® Core™ i9 processor. Equipped with NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX3070 GPU, it benefits from all the advancements of NVIDIA Studio for creators.
ZenBook Duo 14 offers many of the benefits and features of its larger but with a 12.6-inch ScreenPad Plus and a more compact form factor that’s designed to enable the ultimate mobile productivity. The lightweight ZenBook Duo 14 is a mere 16.9 mm thin, is powered by 11th Generation Intel Core processors, and offers up to 17 hours battery life[1] for all-day autonomy.
“Since late 2019 when we first introduced the ZenBook Duo UX481 and UX581, we have been the only brand with dual display laptops. The new ZenBook Duo UX482 and UX582 and their innovative improvements – especially their new tilting second displays – prove that we do not take our leadership for granted and keep on innovating to improve our products for our customers.”, – said Peter Chang, General Manager of ASUS APAC
For users who prefer to work with a single-screen laptop, the new ultraportable 13.3-inch ZenBook 13 OLED (UX325) and convertible 15.6-inch ZenBook Flip 15 (UX564) are attractive alternative choices that combine powerful performance and effortless portability with elegant contemporary styling.
Tilting ScreenPad Plus
ZenBook Pro Duo 15 OLED and ZenBook Duo 14 introduce a new tilting ScreenPad Plus design that adds a new dimension to on-the-go computing. This full-width secondary touchscreen — which has a resolution of 3840×1100 and a higher brightness of 400 nits — automatically tilts upwards by up to 9.5° (7° in ZenBook Duo 14), reducing glare and reflections for improved readability. It makes working with the main four-sided frameless NanoEdge display even more seamless, with endless ways to optimize and personalize workflows. When the laptops are placed on the supplied Duo Stand, the tilted display sits at a stylus-friendly angle, and both displays support the latest 4096-pressure-level devices including the bundled ASUS Pen[2].
The upgraded Screen Xpert 2 software that powers ScreenPad Plus includes a collection of new and updated built-in apps to help boost productivity, such as the new Window Flick feature that allows users to simply flick windows between displays. The popular Task Group app has an updated design, so users can see their Task Groups at a glance, and lock into work modes instantly by launching multiple apps with a single tap.
ScreenXpert 2 also premieres the exciting new Control Panel, a fully-customizable app that will revolutionize creative workflows. Control Panels gives the user precise and intuitive control in creative apps, with intuitive controls for adjusting brush size, saturation, layer opacity, and much more. Four types of control — Dial, Button, Slider, and Scroll — each work in a different way to give precise and smooth control over parameters. Control Panel currently works with Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, Premiere and After Effects, and more compatible apps will be announced in the near future.

ZenBook Duo 14 also features ASUS Intelligent Performance Technology, which works with the 11th Gen Intel processors to intelligently boost performance: using Performance mode, users can enjoy a performance boost of up to 40%[3][4][5] compared to a similar standard laptop. ZenBook Duo 14 also incorporates the AAS Plus thermal system that optimizes cooling performance, and also allows a 3 mm-slimmer chassis due to the reduced need for empty internal cooling space.
With a choice of discrete NVIDIA GeForce® MX450 graphics or integrated Intel Iris® Xe graphics, ZenBook Duo 14 delivers silky-smooth visuals for multitasking users, supercharging photo- and video-editing tasks. Casual content creators will love the effortless on-the-go visual power that ZenBook Duo 14 provides.
