Introduction
ASUS, a company famous for its PC-related products, sells a very unusual laptop that achieves dual displays using only the laptop itself.
In this article, we will pick out the "Zenbook Pro Duo 15 OLED (UX582)" from the series and explain its performance.

ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo 15 OLED UX582ZW (UX582ZW-H2004X) ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 OLED UX582ZM (UX582ZM-H2049X)Main display performance
First, let's talk about the main display. It is 15.6 inches in size, which is a standard size for a laptop.
The resolution is 3840 x 2160 and it also supports 4K.
The refresh rate is 120Hz, which shouldn't be a problem unless you want to play games at a high refresh rate.
The screen occupancy rate is 93%.
Screen occupancy rate refers to the percentage of the surface that the display is covering. The higher this number, the thinner the frame around the outside of the display will be.
What's more, it is compatible with touch pens, so it's also ideal for those who want a touch panel function like a tablet or for those who want to draw illustrations.
Second display performance
This second display is placed between the keyboard and the main display.
This second display can be tilted, perhaps because a keyboard, like other screens, can be difficult to see when placed horizontally.
In addition, it is non-glare, so it does not reflect sunlight or light from lighting, making it easier to see.
It is 14.1 inches, has the same refresh rate as the main display at 120Hz, has a resolution of 3840 x 1100, and is compatible with a touch pen.
Size and weight
The dimensions are 360mm wide x 249mm deep x 24.65mm high.
Before purchasing, make sure it is small enough to fit in your bag or backpack.
It weighs about 2.4 kg, which is heavier than lightweight laptops.
CPU, GPU, memory specifications and prices
The UX8402 is available in two different specifications. We've put them together in a table for easy comparison.
Model number | CPU | RAM | GPU | SSD | official price (As of March 2023) |
UX582ZW | Core i9-12900H | 32GB | RTX3070Ti Laptop | 1TB | 499,800 yen |
UX582ZM | Core i7-12700H | 16GB | RTX3060 Laptop | 512GB | 399,800 yen |
Even the low-spec models cost nearly 400,000 yen, so the price seems high.
The specs are neither too high nor too low, and seem slightly inferior to high-end gaming laptop models.
It seems like the price has increased significantly due to the second display.
About the HDMI and other interfaces installed
The installed interfaces are as follows:
- HDMI2.0/2.1
- USB3.2 Gen1 Type A x 1
- Thunderbolt 4 USB-C x 2
- Audio jack
Video output is also possible using a USB-C cable.
Personally, I think the disadvantage is that it only has one Type A USB port. If you don't have enough ports, you'll need to purchase a peripheral device to add more ports.
About the battery
The battery life is approximately 7.8 hours.
It depends on the usage, but it's probably best to assume that it will be shorter than this in actual use.
lastly
This was an introduction to the ASUS notebook PC (UX582), which achieves dual displays using just the notebook PC itself.
The price is quite high, but if you can make good use of the second display, you can expect benefits such as improved work efficiency.
It is also compatible with a touch pen, so it is recommended for those who like to draw illustrations.
The specs are also far superior to those of cheaper laptops, so if you're interested and have the money to spare, why not give it a try?
