Asus ZenBook Pro Duo Review
In the ZenBook Pro Duo, Asus is thinking about big-screen laptops in a whole new way. The Taiwanese tech giant has plastered almost every practical square inch of the inside of this futuristic laptop with touch screens. The machine has a 15.6-inch 4K OLED touch display where laptop screens typically go, and another 14-inch-wide display above the keyboard.
