A laptop with a difference: the ZenBook Pro Duo doesn't just have one screen, it's got two! The main 14" display is a Full HD 1920x1080 panel, while the 12.6" second screen is great for multitasking or displaying additional pallets when using image or video editing apps. A powerful CPU and 17-hour battery life make this already awesome laptop even harder to resist.
