Laptop designs have seldom changed over the last couple of decades, but the Asus ZenBook Pro Duo puts an extra-screen spin on that format. For Prime Day 2023, you can get this dual-screen-wielding laptop for $1300, a substantial discount from its regular MSRP of $2300.

Internally, this model comes with a 12th generation Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, and a laptop GeForce RTX 3060. The primary screen is a 15-inch touchscreen 4K OLED display that looks sharp, has HDR functionality, and professional-grade colors. The secondary touchscreen--which Asus calls a ScreenPad Plus--is 14 inches wide and automatically tilts up for comfortable viewing. The idea behind this extra display is that you can customize it to feed you data.

Sure, you can use it for apps like Discord or Slack, but you can also tailor it to run programs that benefit your content creation workflow. For example, moving the timeline bar of a video editing program down to the secondary screen frees up more space on the primary screen to preview your cuts. Or you can run YouTube videos on that smaller display; it's up to you. One other aspect of this screen that's also worth mentioning is that it sits at a 12-degree angle, making for a much more natural viewing position.

The rest of the laptop is a surprisingly slim and powerful beast for when you need a mobile workstation to carry around with you. At 1.8 pounds, you can easily slip this into a backpack without needing to worry about slipping a disc. If you're looking for a more heavy-duty machine to work on or play new games, Prime Day also has a special on pre-built PCs that are good to go right out of the box.
