One of the announcements made is the ZenBook Pro 15, a 15-inch laptop packing a hex-core Core i9 CPU, 16GB RAM, GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and a 1TB solid state disk. The main 15.6″ screen is capable of 4K UHD, while the second screen is a full HD within the PC’s touchpad. Asus calls this the “ScreenPad” that comes with inbuilt apps such as a calculator and custom controls for Microsoft Office and YouTube to run in it. It is expected to go on sale in mid-July 2018 at US$2299. Asus’ other dual-screen laptop is “Project Precog”, which does away with the keyboard-and-trackpad side of the clamshell and replaces with a second touch screen. The device figures out when you need a keyboard and puts one on-screen, so that you can put it to use. This will be through an array of sensors can predict where your fingers will rest and adapt input devices accordingly.
