Evolved dual-screen laptop continues to innovate with more power, more portability, enhanced looks and an upgraded user experience

KEY POINTS

  • Built to last, designed to move: Tough and light Ceraluminum build with new hideaway hinge and MagLatch keyboard docking for travel-ready durability 

  • Go further, faster: 99Wh dual battery and up to Intel® Core Ultra X9 Series 3 processor deliver extended runtime and enhanced performance

  • A new reality — beyond the screens: Dual 14" 3K 1000-nit ASUS Lumina Pro OLED 144Hz displays with 70% smaller gap; immersive 6-speaker audio

TAIPEI, Taiwan, January 7, 2026 ASUS today announced Zenbook DUO (2026) UX8407, an evolved version of the groundbreaking dual-screen laptop design that now delivers more power, more portability, and an upgraded user experience. 

Built for professionals and creators who demand performance without compromise, Zenbook DUO features a full Ceraluminum chassis that offers exceptional durability while maintaining a lightweight form factor. With up to an Intel® Core Ultra X9 Series 3 processor and a 99Wh dual-battery layout, Zenbook DUO delivers extended runtime and desktop-grade performance, enabling productivity and creativity anywhere.

Engineered for an immersive experience, the compact Zenbook DUO uses dual 14-inch 3K ASUS Lumina Pro OLED narrow-bezel displays for lifelike visuals with increased brightness and contrast, and a redesigned lay-flat that reduces the gap between the screens. The new six-speaker audio system transforms the laptop into an entertainment powerhouse. Complemented by the upgraded ScreenXpert software and a new MagLatch keyboard docking system, multitasking flows naturally across both displays, all within a chassis that is 5% smaller than the previous generation.

Built to last, designed to move

Durability and mobility lie at the heart of the 2026 Zenbook DUO’s design. Every element has been refined to withstand the demands of travel, frequent use, and dynamic workflows. The full Ceraluminum chassis combines strength and lightness, while the new hideaway hinge and redesigned integrated kickstand ensure reliable action and stable positioning in all the operating modes. The strengthened full-size Bluetooth® keyboard — with a reinforced frame and mainboard for long-term reliability — docks safely between the OLED panels, offering protection and efficiency, with a new MagLatch docking system featuring retractable pogo pins to make docking effortless and consistent, for smooth transitions between work modes.

Go further, faster

Performance meets endurance in the Zenbook DUO’s intelligent power architecture. Equipped with a high-capacity 99 Wh dual-battery system, it ensures long-lasting operation for intensive workloads. The next-generation up to Intel® Core Ultra X9 Series 3 processor provides a significant leap in compute and graphics efficiency, achieving up to 180 TOPS of AI performance.

Enhanced thermal management features — including precision CNC-cut vents with three times the surface area of the previous solution, and larger 97-blade fans — maintain optimal temperatures even under sustained loads. A 28% TDP uplift to 45W compared to the previous generation ensures that Zenbook DUO delivers consistent power while maintaining quiet operation.

A new reality — beyond the screens

Zenbook DUO redefines multi-display computing by integrating dual OLED displays into a unified, fluid workspace. The chassis is 5% smaller than the previous generation and introduces the latest 14-inch 3K ASUS Lumina Pro OLED screens along with an enhanced user experience. With a 70% reduction in the screen gap, the transition between screens is virtually seamless. These dual Dolby Vision®-certified displays each achieve up to 1,000 nits peak brightness, have a 48–144Hz variable refresh rate (VRR), and feature an anti-reflection coating for impeccable HDR clarity.

Smart features elevate the user experience further: ScreenXpert software auto-detects when the lid opens beyond 175°, activating sharing and annotation tools that make collaboration effortless. The result is a viewing and working experience that feels larger than the hardware itself.

The upgraded Dolby Atmos® audio system now includes six speakers for immersive and powerful sound. It uses dual-diaphragm woofers, with front-firing tweeters hidden in the hinge mechanism.
