Is this the future of the laptop? It could be! Asus's dual-screen creation extends the display into the lower half of the device, delivering a huge touchscreen area right above the keyboard. Apple has apparently been making sly notes on a napkin-there's a MacBook with a folding display under development in its labs - but this Asus is available right now, and for less cash than any similar Macis likely to cost. Even without the extra touchscreen this is an impressive laptop: think up to Intel Core i9 processors, dedicated Nvidia graphics, 32GB of RAM, and as much as 2TB of SSD storage.
Screen one
Top-spec models get a pin-sharp 2880x1800 OLED, stretched across with touch 14.5in, and stylus support plus a satisfyingly smooth 120Hz refresh rate.
Screen two
Asus calls this the ScreenPad Plus. It's a 12.7in touchscreen that works just like a second monitor, except it's sitting right there above your keyboard.

HOW CHEAP IS YOUR LOVE?
‘Affordable’ is very much a relative term. To a billionaire, building a champagne-fuelled rocket out 24-carat gold, filling it with diamonds the size of Yorkshire puddings and blasting it into outer space just for something to do is affordable; but to the rest of us, a couple of hundred quid can bust the budget.
