The "ZenBook Pro Duo UX581GV" was announced at ASUS' press conference in May of this year and shook the industry with its appearance and specifications.
At that time, no details were announced, but on August 20, at the "ASUS New Product Announcement" held in Japan, the full picture was revealed!
"ScreenPad Plus" with unlimited possibilities
The most distinctive feature of the ZenBook Pro Duo UX581GV is the "SCREENPAD PLUS" located at the back of the keyboard.
The 14-inch wide, 3,840 x 1,100 resolution "SCREENPAD PLUS" can be used as a normal sub-display for displaying a separate window by itself, or as an extension of the main display for a larger screen. The main display is slim and narrow.
The main display has a slim, narrow bezel, so there is no need to worry about the border between the main display and the "SCREENPAD PLUS" display.
Both the main display and the "SCREENPAD PLUS" are ASUS Pen-compatible touch panels, allowing for intuitive operation, as well as the use of the "SCREENPAD PLUS" for graphic-related applications, such as projecting drawings on the "SCREENPAD PLUS". For example, you can use the "SCREENPAD PLUS" to control faders and knobs for music.

SCREENPAD PLUS and the high-end specs we will introduce in the next section are not the only things you will find in the ZenBook Pro Duo UX581GV.
While an increasing number of laptops today use only USB Type-C (Thunderbolt 3) to make them thinner and lighter, the "ZenBook Pro Duo UX581GV" has not only USB Type-C (Thunderbolt 3), but also USB 3.1 (Thunderbolt 2) and USB 3.2 (Thunderbolt 3). The "ZenBook Pro Duo UX581GV" has not only USB Type-C (Thunderbolt 3), but also two USB 3.1 (Type-A/Gen2), HDMI, and a headphone jack.
With only USB Type-C (Thunderbolt 3), you would need a USB Type-C hub, which would make it far from smart, but with "ZenBook Pro Duo UX581GV", you can connect various devices with just the main unit.
"ZenBook Pro Duo UX581GV" is equipped with "SCREENPAD PLUS", so you may think it is hard to use the keyboard for a long time since the keyboard is concentrated in the front part, but since a palm rest is included But the palm rest is included, so typing for long periods of time is a breeze!
The ASUS Pen, which can be used with SCREENPAD PLUS, is also included. You can take full advantage of the ZenBook Pro Duo UX581GV from the day you get it!
