There are very few manufacturers that are still exploring new forms of laptops, and ASUS is one of them. As for how to allow users to transition from traditional notebooks to dual-screen notebooks without threshold, ASUS has also made great efforts in the past decade, not only successively launching dual-screen notebooks of different shapes, but also insisting on optimizing product interaction and digging deep into the practical value of multi-screen notebooks.
Finally, we welcomed the ASUS Zenbook 14 Dual Screen in 2024. It is the world's first dual 14-inch OLED 120Hz high-brush screen laptop. And in my opinion, it is also the "version answer" of the dual-screen notebook.
Two pieces of the same size, equal proportions of 28K OLED 120Hz high brush screen, bringing a near-perfect dual-screen experience; In dual-screen mode, the actual display area is closeInch monitor
It comes with a magnetic Bluetooth keyboard, which can be used normally like a traditional notebook, and then with the performance of the super-topCoreultraThe processor completely breaks the limitations of the notebook
Of course, its initial price in China also came to ...... 15,999 yuanAlthough ** is not very beautiful, but can the product attract everyone? Please read on.
The familiar notebook form brings a large screen of nearly 20 inches, 5 extraordinary experiences!
1.Notebook mode:
When you first see the ASUS Zenbook 14 dual-screen notebook, you will never associate it with a dual screen - it is no different from a traditional notebook, whether it is in terms of shape, weight or feel, it also has a full-size keyboard and a full-size trackpad.
The appearance and texture are indeed superior, the fuselage adopts an elegant streamlined design, the delicate sandblasting process metal material feels excellent, and it is not easy to leave fingerprints, and the matte black is very "heavy", which looks very advanced.
The essence of it lies in the innovative dual-screen design. When we move the C-side magnetic keyboard out of the way, the ASUS Zenbook 14 Dual Display immediately reveals its "prototype" and transforms into a dual-screen "full state".
Detachable Bluetooth keyboard, detachable for use, can be automatically charged after magnetization.
The two screens are connected by a 180-degree hinge, with a foldable hinge bracket on the fuselage, so that the machine can stand smoothly on various desktops, and the two independent screens can be displayed in front of us at a natural angle, thus forming a large screen viewing experience of about 20 inches.
When two pieces of equal quality 14-inch 2When the 8K OLED screen was displayed in front of us, the gorgeous, transparent and large format seemed to "blingbling" and shining with a thousand lights, and even my colleagues around me, who once thought that the notebook market could not make waves, were surprised three times: "AU! I c! Awesome x! ”
The appearance of the whole machine has also climbed from 90 points to 99 points (if the connection between the two screens can be almost boundless, it will be perfect).
It does turn heads, but is it practical? As a copy editor who needs to open multiple documents, web pages, and chat windows at the same time, I thought it was terrifyingly useful.
What attracted me the most was the five usage modes derived from the ASUS Zenbook 14 Dual Screen, which include virtual keyboard mode, waterfall mode, portrait mode, and sharing mode in addition to the notebook mode, which can cope with various usage scenarios. Thanks to ASUS's years of dual-screen interaction optimization, the actual use experience can indeed kill other notebooks of the same grade.

3.Waterfall mode:
Long hours of work or study tasks can be very stressful, and this mode is a good way to relax.
