ASUS Laptop quality test

Military-grade toughness and build quality

ZenBook Pro Duo meets the ultra-demanding MIL-STD 810G military standard for reliability and durability, undergoing a punishing test regime that includes extended tests for operation in harsh environments including extreme altitudes, temperatures and humidity. It has also passed ASUS internal laptop tests that far exceed the standards set by the industry.

Unless otherwise stated, all performance claims are based on theoretical performance. Actual figures may vary in real-world situations.
With extended long-term use, OLED displays can show slight visual changes. This is also expected behavior and can include effects such as image persistence or burn-in, where the display shows a faint remnant of an image even after a new image appears on the screen. This can occur in more extreme cases such as when the same high contrast image is continuously displayed for prolonged periods of time. ASUS has engineered the OLED display to reduce the effects of OLED burn-in. High dynamic range (HDR) means that your display is able to playback HDR content. With ZenBook Pro Duo UX581, you can enjoy the following functions:

1. Watch HDR streaming videos

If the video supports HDR, UX581 will automatically prioritize the HDR version for playback for the best viewing experience. As the HDR streaming processing is not fully optimized in Google Chrome, we recommend using Microsoft Edge as your internet browser for the best visual experience. (To turn off this function, open Display Settings, select Windows HD Color settings, then switch off Stream HDR video)

2. Play HDR-capable games, media, and other apps

If you own HDR content and would like to view it in HDR on UX581, please first connect UX581 to the DC power supply. Open Display Settings, select Windows HD Color settings, then switch on Play HDR games and apps. When this function is turned on, the display's brightness may be reduced and you will need to readjust the brightness to the desired level. Also, the color of the Windows Desktop may change, but this won’t affect HDR functions. We recommend you only switch on Play HDR games and apps when you use related apps. For non-streaming HDR videos with HEVC decoder requirements, we also recommend using Microsoft’s built-in Movies & TV app.
Average tested result: Delta-E < 2, +/- 0.5.
Please note that all versions of NumberPad only work with the Microsoft Windows operating system.
Amazon Alexa availability varies according to country. Please check with your local ASUS retailer for details.
