ASUS' ZenBook Duo is a more practical dual-display notebook
I found a lot to like about ASUS' ZenBook Pro Duo, the first notebook that managed to fit in an enormous second screen for some serious multitasking. But it also weighed a hefty 5.5 pounds, which made it tough to recommend in this era of powerful ultraportables. With the new ZenBook Duo, ASUS is offering a better option. It still has a very wide second screen (though it's around two inches smaller than the Pro Duo, at 12.6-inches), but it weighs just 3.3 pounds. That makes it just a bit heavier than the 13-inch MacBook, but instead of a small and limited TouchBar, it has a second screen that could actually be useful.
Dual displays with a Mac mini
Aniel wanted to use two displays with his Mac mini. After some poking around, he came across the Matrox dualHead2Go ($169US), which acts as a sort of splitter for a VGA signal. Even though the box says "Windows only," Aniel got it working under Mac OS X.He notes that the dualHead2Go works by splitting your display's horizontal lines in half, and sending those off to each of the two displays. As a result, the mini thinks it's driving a single monitor. Occasionally windows will open in the dead center between the two, but a simple drag remedies that situation. Good work, Aniel![Via 123Macmini]
