Summary based on the YouTube transcript and episode description.

Dave2D reviews the 2026 ASUS ZenBook Duo and new ZenBook lineup, highlighting Intel Core Ultra Series 3 and Snapdragon X2 Elite upgrades.

  • ZenBook Duo upgraded to Intel Core Ultra Series 3, fixing the core weakness of the previous generation that held the dual-screen concept back.
  • New hinge design on the Duo dramatically reduces the gap between the two 14-inch 144Hz OLED panels, improving the dual-screen experience without a foldable display.
  • ZenBook A14 and A16 run Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 Elite (ARM); ASUS claims 35 hours video playback, and early testing confirms multi-day battery life.
  • Microsoft Prism emulator now supports AVX and AVX2, making the vast majority of Windows games ARM-compatible, but kernel-level anti-cheat (e.g., Valorant’s Vanguard) still blocks some titles.
  • ZenBook A14 weighs 990g and A16 weighs 1.2kg, both with full ceraluminum chassis and one-hand-openable hinges despite ultralight weight.
  • ASUS ProArt PX13 features a GoPro co-branding collaboration, AMD Strix Halo APU, a dedicated GoPro button, and ASUS Dial targeting video creators.
