Of course, the OLED panel is an absolute pleasure to use. (Image credit: Future) (opens in new tab) But the Zenbook’s combination of the Intel chip and the Nvidia graphics gives good performance in almost any video-encoding scenario. Likewise, if you are using a video editing platform that can really key into Apple’s hardware video engines, you’ll get better performance from the latest MacBooks. It makes light work of RAW images in Lightroom with effects added, albeit Apple’s M1-powered MacBook Pros are arguably even slicker. That’s actually better than some 12900H-laptops can achieve.Īs for how the Zenbook performs in real-world apps, the Intel chip is mostly impressive.

That said, there’s a very fast Samsung PCIe Gen 4 SSD which contributes to a solid 6,505 points in PC Mark 10. The Zenbooks 10 frames per second for x265 4K video encoding is likewise a little off the 12fps we’ve seen from other systems with the same CPU. In Cinebench R20, by way of example, the Zenbooks scores 5,558 points where bigger laptops can hit 6,400 points. The upshot is that the performance numbers are a little off what you’d get from the same CPU in a beefier laptop. Using the high performance mode bumps that up to 3.2GHz, but at the cost of some unpleasant fan noise. In our testing in the Zenbook’s normal performance mode, the 12900H drops down to 2.9GHz under sustained loads, which is not terribly impressive.

But it’s a little constrained in this chassis, despite the clever cooling. There’s absolutely no doubting the muscle of the Intel Core i9-12900H, for instance.

This both allows for better viewing of the display and creates a space for increased airflow and cooling. But do they actually make sense? Cleverly, the secondary screen pops up as you open the Zenbook. The Asus Zenbook Pro 14 Duo OLED’s dual screens are truly eye-popping. Finally, there’s a fairly hefty 76Wh battery, though with two screens and all that performance, it certainly has its work cut out.

Other details include a 720p webcam, a four-array microphone and a speaker system by Harmon Kardon. So, pretty much all your connectivity bases are covered.

There’s also a SD Express 7.0 card reader, a legacy USB-A port in high-speed 3.2 spec and an HDMI 2.1 port that supports 4K output at 120Hz, not to mention WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2. That said, the dual USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 4 support provide super-fast access to external storage. The latter is arguably the only spec item that seems a little stingy given the firepower elsewhere. To that you can add 32GB of DDR5 memory and a 1TB Samsung PCIe Gen 4 SSD. It’ll do some light gaming, but also a decent job of accelerating various image and video-editing plugins and effects that benefit from a proper graphics card. Graphics come courtesy of Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3050 Ti, which is a lower-mid to mid-range discrete GPU. A desktop monitor with those specs, well, such a thing barely exists at any money.ĬPU-wise, we’re talking Intel’s latest Core i9-12900H with six Alder Lake performance cores and eight efficiency cores. It all bodes very well for content creation on the move, that’s for sure. As if those specs weren’t incredible enough, Asus also rates it 100 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 digital cinema color space, and it’s both DisplayHDR True Black 500 and Pantone certified. It’s good for fully 550 nits of brightness, 0.2ms response and 120Hz. The main panel is a 14.5-inch OLED item with 2,880 by 1,800 pixels in a 16:10 aspect arrangement. Up front and center of the Asus Zenbook Pro 14 Duo OLED is that stunning dual-screen display.
