Exciting news is circulating in the tech world as new details have emerged about the upcoming Asus Zenbook Duo, featuring Intel’s Core Ultra processors. The anticipated models, the Core Ultra 7 255H and the Core Ultra 9 285H, are expected to debut with a significant boost in power, showcasing 16 and 24 CPU cores, respectively. However, some speculation remains whether these core counts are accurate, as previous leaks hinted that the Arrow Lake-H series might max out at 16 cores.

What we do know is that the Zenbook Duo, identified as the UX8406CA, will be packing impressive features. It will boast a hefty 32 GB of RAM, with options for 1 TB or 2 TB of storage. There’s also the possibility of other configurations, including a model with 16 GB of RAM for those seeking a more streamlined setup.

If you’re eager to get your hands on these cutting-edge machines, you’d better start saving. The model powered by the Core Ultra 7 255H is expected to have a price tag of 952.34 Bahraini Dinar, which converts to approximately $2,533. The more powerful Core Ultra 9 285H variant, offering twice the RAM, is pegged at 1,421.93 Bahraini Dinar, roughly $3,782.

These prices, sourced from listings in the Bahraini market, may vary internationally, so consumers in other regions should stay tuned for local pricing updates. It’s anticipated that Asus will officially unveil the Zenbook Duo at CES 2025 in January, making it a stellar centerpiece for the event and a much-awaited addition for tech enthusiasts worldwide.
