The $5,500 dual-screen Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo is ‘who is this for’ incarnate. But it slaps.

Asus’ Zenbook Duo is finally up for preorder but costs $400 more than expected.

The dual-screen Zenbook Duo I reviewed in January was said to cost $2,399.99 with an Intel Core Ultra X9 388H. Now preorders are open, but a base model costs $2,499.99 and the 388H configuration I tested will be $2,699.99. Ouch.

We reached out to Asus for the reason, but company reps did not immediately reply. Seems like RAMageddon claims another.

Hmm… 🤔 that photo in Framework’s keynote looks familiar.

While hyping up its couch keyboard, Framework CEO Nirav Patel showed images of how people use its computers in the living room. It gave me a Leo DiCaprio moment as I noticed a photo from my time testing Bazzite on the Framework Desktop. How about a photo credit, Nirav?
