Asus’ Zenbook Duo is finally up for preorder but costs $400 more than expected.

RAM price hikes: the latest on the global memory shortage The dual-screen Zenbook Duo I reviewed in January was said to cost $2,399.99 with an Intel Core Ultra X9 388H. Now preorders are open, but a base model costs $2,499.99 and the 388H configuration I tested will be $2,699.99. Ouch. We reached out to Asus for the reason, but company reps did not immediately reply. Seems like RAMageddon claims another. If you buy something from a link, The Verge may earn a commission.
