Asus Zenbook Duo OLED (2024) convertible review: Multitasking champion with Core Ultra 9

[Redaktion]

Asus takes multitasking to a new level with the new Zenbook Duo OLED. The versatile laptop impresses with two great 120 Hz OLED screens and a sophisticated operating concept. It also comes with the new Intel Core Ultra 9 185H and 32 GB RAM.

meteor lake is a disappointment performance-wise tho, these numbers for top of the line cpu are so outdated. it will be quite fast anyway of course, for most people even anything around 2300/8000 geekbench 6 is more than plenty. but in terms of tech leadership it's intel's failure of course.

[Love the concept]

The same PC but with AMD chip and 16 or 17 inch screens would be perfect

2500 euros for performance from 3-4 years ago?
What's clearly missing here is the 7940HS/7840U or the new 8 series.

The memory efficiency is also not impressive for LPDDR5 7500 - around 68-70%, and simply with monstrous latency 144ns+, almost 3 times higher than on desktops with approximately the same memory, and on AMD...

The case heats up dangerously to 47-48C in the area of the second screen - what do you think are the chances that it will fail under heavy load from the power supply?

With this design, Asus should have taken care that in the area of the second screen/keyboard the surface temperature did not exceed 40C. But then there is increased noise, right? And it's not quiet anymore.

Well, PWM at 480Hz is doubtful. What is the burnout life of these screens before losing 50% of brightness? It's more likely not brightness - to hell with it, even 250 nits in the office is through the roof, but color stability? Somehow, all laptop manufacturers literally raised the switching frequency by 2-3 times in their 2024 models, don't you think this is strange?

It's also interesting how dirt/sand/crumbs from the bottom of the keyboard will affect the second screen...

Fans of new gadgets will probably like it. Especially for any video bloggers to show off. Because doing something really heavy on it is obviously not worth it. The processor is frankly weak for performance even by 2021 standards.

for two screens

what do you think are the chances that it will fail under heavy load from the power supply?

chances are zero, macbooks even had their fans blowing on the screen for years, no destroyed screens

don't you think this is strange?

no

It's also interesting how dirt/sand/crumbs from the bottom of the keyboard will affect the second screen...

just like they would affect a single screen laptop

processor is frankly weak for performance even

not being "top" doesn't mean "weak" lmao, 2400/13000 geekbench is good for most people
you probably have a threadripper desktop, because everything else is "weak" in your terms lmao
of course you dont

[NikoB]

Each such screen costs no more than $150-180 retail.
What else is there worth 2200 euros? Of course you can't answer, bot.

macbooks even had their fans blowing on the screen for years, no destroyed screens

This is not OLED, but IPS. They are much more reliable, but even they have an officially critical operating temperature of 50C in the latest hi-res models.

2400/13000 geekbench is good for most people

Most people would never buy this overpriced piece of junk with such a poor price/performance ratio, 3 years out of date. People expect the new Ultra 9 185H to be no slower than last year's 7940HS. But in reality, he is 40% weaker than him with the same PL1. Who needs this at this price? I clearly immediately wrote to whom.

[lmao]

What else is there worth 2200 euros?

haha yeah i've seen those "diy linux phones" that tried building a phone from "cheap" retail parts and in the end went over $1500. grab those screens and try building a laptop, you'll understand.

macbooks never were oled, wake up lol
millions of macbooks are blowing their fans on their ips/miniled screens and working with closed lid - and there's no mass screen issues
"critical operating temperature of 50C" is a fake people are spreading everywhere for a while. there is nothing to be damaged by this (low in terms of silicon) temperature

You idiot. If the manufacturer writes that the critical temperature is 50C, then it is so. But poppies simply do not reach these values, especially with much more reliable IPS.

On OLED 50C+ is fatal for the panel.

You, stupid bot, shamefully leaked, because couldn't describe what else costs 2200 euros in this Asus besides two screens.

[lmao]

On OLED 50C+ is fatal for the panel.

lmao yeah information from 2009.
modern oleds are tested up to 80c with only a minor lifetime reduction, about 11%.
thats why you can easily keep your phone charging on a car dashboard on a sunny day lmao.
thats why apple engineers with actual education degrees (clearly unlike you lol) and actual experience simply blow the hot air on displays.

You, stupid bot, shamefully leaked, because couldn't describe what else costs 2200 euros in this Asus besides two screens.

try building one yourself lmao and you will see
come on, i'll pay you if you build the same laptop cheaper lol. easy money for you. right? right?
now s*** your pants and pretend i haven't offered you the bet.

[NikoB]

Well done, today you earned a portion of noodles from Asus.

HAHAHAHA you're such a predictable tool

[MongoPeas]

A friend of mine left his phone outside in direct sun and it heated up so much he had to grab the phone through a piece of cloth. Case almost started melting. Phone is working fine to this day, my friend was more worried about battery than about screen. It was Samsung S21.
People forget phones and notebooks in cars on sunny days. And it is 60C-70C. So "fatal" 50C is very unrealistic, to say the least.
Manufacturers also say you can not use your phone if ambient temperature is over 35C, and it's ridiculous. So take what producers write in specifications with a huge grain of salt.

[lmao]

50C is very unrealistic, to say the least

he just doesn't know there are laptops that blow 60-69c air on their screens with screens consistently going over 50c

[NikoB]

I don't care about these special cases. If the screen panel manufacturer clearly states that the operating temperature should not exceed 50C, then it is so. Everything else has no legal or evidentiary force.
