Revamped dual-screen Zenbook gets the fancy material treatment

Revamped dual-screen Zenbook gets the fancy material treatment

Two screens aren’t just for gaming: a day after ROG announced a fully fledged dual-screen gaming laptop, Asus has followed it up with an even fancier version of the Zenbook Duo.

Showing a wide range of laptops aimed at everyday users and creatives, the 2026 Zenbook Duo enjoyed one of the biggest glow-ups. Now made with Asus’ favoured ‘Ceraluminum’ material seen on its previous flagship laptops, the dual-screen laptop is slightly smaller, along with various upgrades across the board.

Still featuring two 14-inch OLED screens, the new Zenbook Duo gets an upgraded Bluetooth keyboard, a bigger 99Wh dual-battery system, a smaller gap between screens, and a beefier six-speaker audio setup.

On the inside is the new Intel Core Ultra Series 3 chipset, capable of reaching up to 45W TDP, which Asus says is 28 per cent higher than the previous Duo. It also has a revamped cooling system, with larger vents and two 97-blade fans to keep the PC’s heat under control.

Alongside the dual-screen laptop are plenty of traditional clamshell PCs, too. Snapdragon’s new X2 Elite Extreme processor powers the latest Zenbook A16 laptop, while the non-Extreme chipset is found in the A14 model. Meanwhile, the Zenbook S range runs on Intel’s chips.

AMD gets its chance to shine with a special GoPro edition of the ProArt PX13 laptop aimed at creators. On the inside is the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor and up to 128GB of unified memory, while the outside has a durable GoPro-themed design. The laptop also has a GoPro hotkey mapped to the GoPro Player app, which pairs with a bundled 12-month GoPro Premium+ subscription.

And that only scratches the surface of Asus’ PC announcements, which also included new desktops and accessories. Expect Australian release dates and prices for Asus’ 2026 in the coming months.
