I spent a day at Computex 2019 looking at new gaming PCs, laptops, motherboards and graphics cards from Taiwanese manufacturers like Asus, MSI and Gigabyte. It was Asus that stole the show, though.

Here’s a look at the best stuff the Taiwanese tech giant had on display:

Asus ZenBook Pro Duo

It’s like a giant Touch Bar, except it actually does stuff.

One product that really amazed me? The ZenBook Pro Duo from Asus. It’s a dual-screen laptop with a 15-inch, 4K, OLED, touchscreen display. (And for those who need it, the screen supports 100% DCI-P3 RGB color space.)

The standout feature is below the display: A 14-inch touchscreen display, sitting above the keyboard. Think of it like a much larger, more capable Touch Bar on the MacBook Pro -- but instead of being limited to toggling functions, it’s a proper screen. You can put up to three windows at once there or just use it as an extension of the main screen.

Both screens can be used together as one seamless display… except, y’know, with a giant seam in the middle.
