Increase productivity with ASUS’ ZenBook Duo laptop with a secondary screen at low of $1,050

Amazon is now offering the ASUS ZenBook 14-inch i7/8GB/512GB Laptop for $1,049.99 shipped. Normally going for $1,234, this 15% discount marks a new all-time low we’ve tracked for this laptop, beating our previous mention by $100. This price is matched at Newegg too. The biggest selling point for the ZenBook Duo is what ASUS calls the ScreenPad Plus, a 12.6-inch matte touchscreen above the keyboard for improved multitasking. The primary display is PANTONE Validated for “professional-grade color accuracy” at 14-inches and a 1080p resolution. Being part of Intel’s Evo platform, the ASUS ZenBook Duo packs serious power with its 11th Gen i7 processor with battery life upwards of 8 hours, making for a “perfect combination of performance, responsiveness and battery life.” Keep reading for more.

With then ZenBook Duo only having a single USB-A port and two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports, you may want to pick up a Thunderbolt Dock to greatly expand the I/O selection. Since Thunderbolt 4 is still relatively new, docks are still fairly pricey but you could grab the Anker Apex 12-in-1 Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station for $350. This dock can deliver up to 90W of Power Delivery for charging the host machine while adding four USB-A ports with two being rated for 10Gb/s and the other being 480Mb/s, an SD card slot, Gigabit Ethernet, two HDMI 2.0 outputs, a USB-C 10Gb/s port, and a downstream Thunderbolt port. Otherwise, you could get a much more basic USB-C hub that will still allow you to expand your I/O like Anker’s 7-in-1 USB-C Hub for $35. Here you’ll get two USB-A 3.0 ports, a USB-C data port, a micro/SD card reader, an HDMI output, and a USB-C input that allows for up to 100W of Power Delivery.
