At CES 2026, ASUS unveiled a complete redesign of its flagship dual-screen laptop, the ZenBook Duo UX8407. The device introduces a Ceraluminum chassis, which ASUS claims offers three times the durability while reducing weight by 30% to just 1.65 kg. The dual-screen setup features two 14-inch 3K OLED displays with 144Hz refresh rates and 1,000 nits of peak brightness, bridged by a new hinge that reduces the gap between panels by 70%.

Under the hood, the ZenBook Duo is powered by the Intel Core Ultra Series 3 'Panther Lake' CPU, specifically the flagship Core Ultra X9 388H. This processor, paired with the Intel Arc B390 iGPU, promises RTX 4050-level performance at lower power draw. To support the dual screens, ASUS split a 99 Wh battery between the chassis, claiming up to 18 hours of video playback on both screens or 32 hours on a single display.

The device also supports a detachable trackpad and virtual keyboard functionality on the bottom screen.
