Windows or Mac desktop users are probably not familiar with the use of multiple monitors, expanding the space to increase work productivity. With laptops, this becomes more difficult because of the size limit, adding an external screen will “kill” the portability of this product completely.

Asus has been very creative when integrating the secondary screen for the high-end Zenbook Duo series into the upper part of the keyboard. The screen can hold web browser windows, tools of Adobe creative software or can be used to write and draw through a stylus.

Recently at the Indiegogo site, a product called Lukos was “listed” to raise capital with the desire to bring the Zenbook Duo’s secondary screen feature to other laptops, besides smartphones, desktops, and tablets. , smartphones and game consoles.
