ASUS Zenbook DUO 14 OLED UX8406CA Dualscreen Laptop

Great laptop with awesome features. Got highbrow screen and 2tB SSD should keep me going.

The first month I bought it was alright because I didn't use it much, didn't have time to transfer my files from my old ASUS laptop UX482. I have been using my old laptop along with a Gigabyte 1080 eGPU for 4 years now and never had an issue. I have also used it with 2 Anyoyo SCSI usb-c and usb-a adaptors for my SK Hynix P41 platinum drive, and again no issues. After 1 month of barely using the UX8406CA I managed to finaly transfer my files from my old laptop, but it wasn't easy. I couldn't use the NVMe drive because copying files from one laptop to another just doesn't work. Every time I wanted to copy my files from the NVMe drive to my new laptop the copy procces would stall and then stopped with errors on Event Viewer. I had to connect the laptops with a TB4 cable and transfer the files through the Thunderbolt - USB4 P2P networking. There is definitely something wrong with the USB ports because when I connect my eGPU to the laptop, the laptop freezes after a while. I could be playing, browsing the internet, do nothing, or the laptop just be hibernating, it would just freeze and the only way to restart it is press the power button for 15 sec. I'm fairly sure the problem is not the windows 11 because I have reseted and clean installed the windows several times and the problem is still there. It is either bad drivers and/or firmware/BIOS issue. I have the latest 310 bios version as of 22.11.2025. The intel external display driver throws hundreds of errors in Event viewer every times the screens go to sleep or turns back on. Now the TPM 2.0 doesn't work either (no TCG event log is available) when trying to enable the Bitlocker drive encryption (yes, I have upgraded to Windows 11 Pro, still doesn't work). Now it is too late to send it back and ask for a refund because the 30 days windows is closed, but I'm really considering selling it and buying another laptop from another brand. But guess what: the price dropped from £2100 to £1800 and now on Black Friday is even £1500. So not only I have overpaid for this garbage laptop but selling it is gonna make me loose even more money. All in all this laptop is perfect if you don't use eGPUs and NVMe drives connected to it. The 2 3k oled touch screens are wounderfull and the removal keyboard is excelent. Unfortunately this laptop is plagued with bad software/firmware. Don't buy it. I will come with updates later and more explanations. Don't buy.

Heavy and a bit clunky sometimes but it is still the coolest tech I've owned. Being able to get another screen of space is a game-changer. The thing that was most useful was being able to take the keyboard and use it from a distance, this meant I could hook it up to the TV or a music player without needing to babysit it. Such a nice change of perspective of what a laptop can be.

I am using this now, it is an awesome machine. Loads of configurations and great to use.

Love the concept. Gutted the bottom touch screen was defective and system kept rebooting within an hour of receipt. If Asus irons out software this could be a brilliant laptop

All seems well

Most disappointing product I have EVER experienced!! The keyboard never worked...It has been to the repair twice, returned not working again. It seems there is no solution to this problem in an almost £ 2K device....customer service as disappointing as the product itself.

Great laptop, the Oled screens produce crisp clear images, battery life is great at the moment (10+ hours) although I havent really done any intensive work on battery yet. Having duel screen option on my laptop is a game changer. And the share option is great for 121 teaching, presentations or collaborative projects. Also comes with a pen which I am yet to full test and utilise, but will be giving that a go with using the Adobe creative suite soon
