      Except how to use it with a custom keyboard and one-screen mode (because it has no 360 degree hinge). Tent or lean-back mode would be the only way to do this, but with its hinge design, you're forced into two-screen mode if you want to use a custom keyboard.

    This is one of the best ways to do a dual-screen. Sure, it has *some* problems with ergonomics, but this mechanism is far superior to a second screen that folds from the back (and is therefore unprotected when folded up). You can also do three screens, folding on the sides, but that has more ergonomics issues and is HEAVY.

      The only problem I see is how the OS handles connecting and disconnecting the display. Windows is NOTORIOUSLY finicky about hot swapping displays. I can absolutely see cases of having to reboot the laptop several times if something bugs out, and it wouldn't be Asus' fault.

  • @cypherfunc

    IMO the most useful aspect here is that the kickstand lifts your main screen closer to eye level. Looking down at normal laptops is really not great on your neck and back, especially for taller folks. 👍

      Not with the hinge design. It's quite limiting and the screens don't line up in book mode and only one screen lays flat in sharing mode. Without tent mode or lean-back mode, you won't have room to place a custom keyboard in front of it unless using two-screen mode upright which might be a little too overwhelming in some places. No tablet mode either.

    My favorite part about this concept as a work laptop is that at my in-office and WFH setup, I have an external keyboard and mouse. So normally my laptop keyboard and trackpad just takes up extra space on my desk. By adding a second screen, it can turn that empty space into some amount of usable space, which i could actually see being perfect for keeping teams or email open.

    I really like this. I've seen consultants tote around second screens for a while, but it was always a luxury in cost and weight. Flying with a second monitor wasn't ideal pre-pandemic. I never liked the attached second screen that you usually see either. Since I've been WFH, my daily work setup is similar to this form factor - I have a second screen on a stand positioned above my laptop's display. Looking up and down is more comfortable to me now than going side to side. It's less head movement and eye strain to see the far edge of the second monitor.
