Customer Ratings & Reviews

I ordered the ASUS Zenbook Duo UX8406CA online and picked it up at the Best Buy Manassas store, Virginia. The staff there were kind, patient, and very helpful. The pickup was smooth and the way they handled everything made the experience even better. I genuinely felt respected and taken care of. Now about the laptop. This is hands down one of the best devices I have ever used. I was confused between the Zephyrus and this, finally ended up with this. LLMs work on this Laptop. You can use it for AI workloads. You can use local AI models with LM Studio. That was a surprise for me. Gemma 12b parameter model works so well. The dual screen setup is incredible. Both screens are 14 inches with 3K OLED displays that are bright, colorful, and extremely sharp. I can run multiple apps side by side, take notes on one screen while working on the other, or watch videos without losing productivity. The screens look amazing in all lighting conditions and are a joy to use. Performance is outstanding. With the Intel Core Ultra 9 processor, 32 GB of memory, and 1 TB of fast storage, this laptop flies through tasks. I use it for work, design, AI tools, and even a bit of gaming, and everything runs smoothly. No freezing, no delays. It feels powerful and responsive all the time. The build quality feels premium. It is sturdy yet light enough to carry easily. The keyboard is detachable and very comfortable to type on. It is also great that it includes a stylus, which works smoothly for writing or drawing. The magnesium body feels strong and gives confidence that it will last. Battery life has been solid. For regular work and browsing, I can go most of the day without charging. When I use both screens at higher brightness and run heavier software, the battery still holds up for several hours without any issue. There are a few things to get used to. When using the laptop on your lap, the keyboard placement can feel different, but it works perfectly on a desk. Also, the fans can get a little loud when the system is under full load, but that is expected with this level of performance. What I personally loved: • The dual display makes multitasking feel natural • Performance is smooth and reliable • Great build quality with premium materials • Stylus and keyboard both work very well • Excellent experience at the Manassas store This laptop is perfect for people who want speed, flexibility, and a visual workspace that adapts to different needs. I am genuinely happy with this purchase and grateful for the service I received from Best Buy. Five stars without hesitation.

a game changer for students and digital note taking. i’ve used my microsoft surface pro for years, but wanted something i could lay in bed and use and have a bigger screen for watching lectures/taking notes simultaneously. everyone knows microsoft’s surface pro’s have been ranked #1 for note taking, HOWEVER i have had it about a month now and i can say, this asus zenbook duo has been all that and more. i now can watch full screen lectures and take notes on the 2nd screen effortlessly, there is no latency and microsoft OneNote works seamlessly. **there is a feature that if you touch the screen with 3 fingers then the touchpad pops up, i recommend disabling that and disabling “touch while pen is in use” because those features did cause some problems while note taking and palm rejection, i ALMOST returned it due to this.. but once these features were disabled, everything is literally perfect.** i also love being able to use as a regular laptop when i don’t need the bottom screen. that was rarely an option with the surface pro, sure i had the attached keyboard but the kickstand would only work on a flat surface and at a certain angle, so laying in bed or in my lap didn’t work so well. my one complaint is there isn’t a place to store the stylus pen on the device and i am prone to losing things. i ordered a stylus holder and placed it on the front of the device (pictured in photo) and have had no issues since. as for battery life, so far i haven’t had it die while in use. i have noticed that using both screens for a few hours does slightly heat up the device, and the battery seems to me like i may not last an entire 9 hour day without the charger, but most my classes have plug-in capabilities. i also keep a portable charger in my bag just in case. i want to reiterate though that i have not had any issues! just don’t expect to use both screens all day without a single charge the screen quality is amazing. i’m still playing with all the features but there’s so many cool things you can do and it has a little widget that allows you to do different things with the screens. i’m learning most tips and tricks from youtube, check all of those out to get the full experience! it feels super durable. i ordered tempered glass screen protectors from amazon and put them on myself, and they have not effected the note taking or stylus pen at all! be sure to take off the “intel” sticker from the bottom of the screen before trying to put the screen protector on to avoid a giant bubble. overall i am not a tech junkie, so this is a honest review from an average person with minimal knowledge of all the specifications and techy stuff. i just want to recommend this to anyone who regularly uses “split-screen” features on their current device, or anyone who takes digital notes religiously as i do. this has changed online classes and school for me. i love it so much!

This is a really cool and powerful laptop. The dual screens work well, and it is great for multitasking, schoolwork, and watching videos while working on something else. I also liked the way the keyboard attaches. The backlit keyboard feels good, and the built-in kickstand is a big plus because you do not need to carry an extra stand. The main issue, in comparison, is the weight. Compared to the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i, this one feels heavier and not as easy to carry around for class or daily use. I used ot for a presentation and it did feel like carrying a similar sized gaming laptop. I also noticed that when HDR was turned on, the screens looked dimmer, and the two screens did not seem to match in brightness. That may be a software issue, but it was noticeable. Turning it off fixed it but to me, why pay that much if its not working well. Overall, this is a strong and well-built laptop. I would recommend it for someone who wants more power and likes the built-in stand design. It is not a bad devoce at all... 4.59 tops! For me, the Lenovo felt better for everyday use.

I received my brand new Zenbook Duo Dual 2025 285H laptop with much excietment, only to be upset that it came with a dent (see image) The laptop itself is amazing. You can see all the online reviews and they're all true; the screen is beautiful, bright, OLED perfect darks. The 285H is very fast, feels snappy, like on a desktop. Now with portable 2 OLED monitors, feels like a dream. I would say this is not a ferrari of laptops, but like a bmw of laptops; luxurious and feature rich, but not gaming grade. I tried some games on it, FPS shooters, forget it, the latency/lag of most modern shooters is unplayable. You can play it, but the stutter/jitteriness of it makes the experience feel clumsy and frustrating. However, I did throw in diablo 3, civilizatoin 5, and a few other games and was smooth as butter >80fps. But getting work done on two screens or getting work done on one and having netflix running on another screen in OLED grade feels very luxurious. However as with two screens, the battery life does get drained very quickly. You have the option of turning it off and just go with 1 screen, but something to keep in mind if you're working with 1 vs 2 screens, that the battery life gets affected accordingly. I know best buy would probably let me exchange, but it's the USB-C port I know I would be judged even though it came like that. You can see it's a pretty big weird dent, it wouldn't be from me trying to plug it in, appears it was dinged or tried to be pried open. Very unfortunate, so it's a Q&A problem so I have to dock the product 1 star for that.

The ASUS Zenbook Duo has completely changed how I approach my daily work and creativity. From the moment I opened it, the dual OLED touchscreens felt like stepping into the future—suddenly I could write, research, and design without constantly switching tabs or losing focus. The top screen is vibrant and smooth, while the second screen becomes my command center for notes, timelines, and inspiration. It feels powerful yet intuitive, running everything I throw at it with ease thanks to the Intel Ultra 9 processor and 32GB of RAM. Beyond performance, it inspires me to stay organized and think more visually, turning my workflow into something fluid and dynamic. It’s not just a laptop—it’s the ultimate partner for anyone who wants to create, manage, and dream without lim

I loved the product. It is very helpful because of the dual screen. The processor is smooth and battery backup is decent.

The computer is great. It's ergonomic and strongly built. It works fast and doesn't have a loud fan. I have had problems with the mouse appearing in a totally different place than where it actually is. This has happened off and on repeatedly. The camera for some reason can only focus on one face and it makes the other face grainy even though its the same distance. Asus includes in the purchase a warranty against accidental damage -- EXCEPT for people who buy it from Best Buy. Yes. Specifically Best Buy customers. I think that the reason is that Best Buy wants customers to have to buy their warranty. I'm debating if I should return it just so I can get from a different seller so I have the 1 year warranty from Asus. Its a real bother though so I have been trying to talk to a manager but after waiting for an hour the line was cut. No one tried to get back to me so I tried again to talk to someone and again was told that a manager would get back to me. In the meantime I am running out of days to return the item which perhaps is their plan...

I have been using this product for over a year, I am delighted so far. I am working as Database Administrator with a lot of data to work with which in turn need more than one screen. This double screen beast with its touchscreen capability works magical. So far I'm impressed and I recommend it

Don't know how I got along before this. Having two displays on a laptop is amazing. My home PC has 4 monitors, so having a portable machine with 2 displays is great. You can get so much done with the extra real estate. The system is actually fast enough that you can run diablo 4 or wow while streaming netflix, albeit at low settings. The displays are sharp, the colors are great and the brightness is superb.

The Asus Zenbook Duo (UX8406) is a standout dual-screen laptop that redefines mobile multitasking with its innovative design and robust performance.

The two screens are cool and nice, but the laptop itself is mediocre: - Wi-Fi speeds are terrible despite supporting the 6 Ghz band, I could not get over 500 Mbps on my 5 gigabit Internet sitting next to the router - Battery life is not great at all - Some of the Asus software is annoying, though can be disabled - The laptop failed to set up on first boot and I had to reinstall Windows. Granted this is a Microslop issue, not one with the laptop itself. But Linux has never looked more enticing - The screens are OLED, but the quality is not great. The color accuracy is quite poor, they don't get very bright, and there is motion blur despite being OLED - The Intel Arc graphics overheats very quickly - Charging speeds are slow - I've had issues with the keyboard connection - I've had the laptop drain all its battery once or twice while completely shut off

I bought this computer to work remotely with 2 screens and use a full-size keyboard and mouse. Works great from the couch where I can get work done comfortably without hooking a pc up to 2 desktop monitors. Only thing I would like to see is the hinges allowing the screen to go 360 degrees to use the Zenbook as a tablet as well.

This thing is awsome. 2 screens for charging customers, booking schedules and charging clients is a fream come true. Not to mention for ad creative work.

ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED, Got rid of my MacBook for this. Best decision ever.

Well rounded and does everything you would need it to fast. Good picture quality

Excellent laptop for multi baskets love it. I’m EE major

I don't normally write reviews, but wanted to share my experience since I was on the fence about this laptop. I bought it thinking it was probably going to be gimmicky, and I'd end up returning it after trying it for a couple days. I was very glad to be wrong -- it's got great screens, is very portable & not too heavy, has a good battery life despite the two screens, and never gets hot. I travel just about every other week, so I needed something that hit all three of those criteria, and this one definitely does. It also works great as a workstation when I'm home and just have it plugged into my external monitor. I've been impressed with the laptop. I switched from a 16", and while I do wish sometimes the screen was bigger, I love how portable this is. I also tried the Lenovo Yoga Book (also dual screen monitor) -- the screens on that laptop were marginally better and I liked that you could fold it like a 2-in-1 (which you can't do with this one), but everything else about it was a lot worse (would get hotter & louder, hated the detached keyboard, etc.). Also for context , most of my work is done in Citrix and Excel, so can't speak to any high-intensity use cases -- but this does very well for what I need.

I have used this laptop daily for six months, and it has consistently performed at a very high level. Despite featuring a powerful Intel Core i9 processor and dual monitors, the battery life is surprisingly excellent. I regularly use the integrated bottom stand, which provides an optimal viewing angle for both screens. The dual displays are incredibly sharp, vibrant, and comfortable to view for extended periods. While I was initially hesitant to switch from my usual 14-inch plus laptops to a smaller footprint, the exceptional clarity of these screens makes the compact size a non-issue. Additionally, the upgrade to Windows 11 Pro was seamless and entirely trouble-free.

The ASUS ZenBook Duo 2025 is a powerhouse dual-screen laptop designed for productivity and creativity. Here’s why it stands out: - Dual 14-inch OLED Displays – Stunning visuals with 3K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, perfect for multitasking. - Intel Core Ultra 200 Series – Delivers high-speed performance and enhanced graphics, making it ideal for demanding tasks. - Improved Battery Life – Despite its powerful specs, it maintains long-lasting battery performance. - Premium Build & Design – Durable, lightweight, and engineered for seamless dual-screen functionality. - Enhanced Cooling & Efficiency – Runs cooler and quieter than previous models, ensuring smooth operation. If you need a versatile, high-performance laptop for work, creativity, or multitasking, the ZenBook Duo 2025 is a top contender!

This is a solid laptop. The performance is great, it stays cool, the screens are beautiful, and (unexpected) it can even do some light gaming (Arc Raiders at 2880x1800 Med Settings gets ~35FPS Average). The keyboard has no delay/disconnect when being converted from attached to detached. The battery life is solid. The build quaility is great and feels strong. Using the stylus on it to draw was also a good experience.
