Know before you buy
The ScreenPad Plus acts as a full-width secondary touchscreen that sits above the keyboard. It is designed to extend your workspace, allowing you to dock apps, manage timelines, or keep reference materials visible while you work on the main 4K display.
Yes, it is well-equipped for demanding creative workflows. With an Intel Core i9 processor, 32GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 graphics card, it has the necessary power to handle complex rendering, 4K video editing, and graphic design tasks.
Yes, the keyboard is shifted to the bottom edge of the chassis to accommodate the secondary screen. While this creates a unique typing experience, the included detachable palm rest helps maintain comfort during extended use.
Yes, both the main 4K UHD display and the ScreenPad Plus are touch-enabled and support stylus input. This makes it highly effective for digital artists who need to sketch or manipulate tools on the secondary screen while viewing their canvas on the primary display.
The ZenBook Pro Duo includes a versatile selection of ports, including HDMI, USB Type-C with Thunderbolt support, and standard USB ports. This allows you to easily connect external monitors, high-speed storage drives, and other professional peripherals.
The ErgoLift hinge tilts the keyboard slightly when the laptop is opened. This creates a more natural typing angle for your wrists and improves airflow underneath the chassis, which helps keep the internal components cooler during intensive tasks.
