GoPro creators are typically on the go — I mean, it’s in the name — so it makes sense that these creators would want a compact and rugged laptop to bring along for their adventures. To that end, Asus built the ProArt GoPro Edition (PX13) laptop, a two-in-one convertible that’s centered on a 13-inch OLED display; it’s surrounded by a rugged chassis with a design inspired by the iconic action cameras themselves. Asus also made major improvements to the Zenbook Duo to the point of it being a dual-screen laptop that’s less of a curiosity and something you might actually want to use day in and day out.
These two laptops stood out among the many laptops Asus debuted at CES 2026. Let’s take a closer look at each.
ProArt GoPro Edition gets smaller for bigger adventures
The PX13 follows on the heels of the larger, 16-inch ProArt P16 that launched the Asus and GoPro partnership last fall, and this 13-inch version makes a lot more sense for on-the-go GoPro creators. The device weighs just three pounds, and the all-metal enclosure is designed to take abuse. The laptop and the hard-shell case the device comes with both feature GoPro-inspired vertical lines and blue color accents.
This ProArt GoPro Edition laptop includes a one-year GoPro Cloud Plus subscription and comes installed with StoryCube software, which offers GoPro Cloud and 360-degree video support. A dial pad located in the corner of the touch pad gives you greater control with your video edits.
Powering this software is an AMD Ryzen AI Max Plus 395 CPU and Radeon graphics. You can pack up to 128GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD, though I’m surprised 4TB isn’t on offer given the intended user will be working with large video files. The lack of a dedicated GPU is also a bit eye opening.
Zenbook Duo minds the gap
My biggest hang-up with previous Zenbook Duo efforts was the huge break between the two screens. The hinge was too clunky, and the bezels were just too thick, making the gap in the middle too distracting for me to ignore. This year’s Duo greatly shrinks the gap between the dual displays by thinning out the bezels and using what Asus calls a hideaway hinge design. Asus says it reduced the gap by 70%, and it looked like even more than that to me.
Another Duo improvement is the sturdier kickstand, which is a key part of the package, because it can feel a bit tipsy with one display on top of the other. (It’s steadier when you have both displays side-by-side in portrait mode.) The chassis is thin and light, yet rigid, thanks in large part to Asus’s unique Ceraluminum material that it first introduced on its awesome Zenbook A14 last year.
This year’s Zenbook Duo is based on Intel Panther Lake processors up to a Core Ultra X9 to power the twin 3K, 144Hz OLED displays. Asus outfitted the Zenbook Duo (2026) with a larger 99-watt hour battery, which it says provides up to 18 hours of local video playback or 12 hours of web browsing with both displays going. Those numbers jump up to 32 hours and 18 hours, respectively, when you are using only one of the displays.
