I love this thing. It's not for everyone but it's pretty darn cool. What do you guys think? Also, if you missed it I compared the G14 to the blade 14 which you can find here - ruclips.net/video/8KtDLu4a-EM/видео.html
Can you please do a comparison of the CPU performance of this laptop and a bigger gaming laptop with same 12th Gen i9? Would like to see how much is the performance difference if 12th H series is put inside a smaller and slimmer Chassis. The scores in this video does not look that promising compared to say a 2022 G14. I do have a VivoBook Pro 14X with 5900HX + RTX 3050 Ti (50W) Combo, weighting just 3.1 lbs and in CPU only tasks, it's performance is within 10%-20% of my 5900HX in LP5 Pro. So, just want to see how much performance Alder Lake H looses when placed inside these kind of chassis.
I think it has no place in the gym to do concentration curls.
Concentric circles, maybe.
Review was good. The laptop looks good too. I really like the design and its power. Thanks for the video)))
Compare the ZenBook Duo with Zephyrus Duo - I believe the difference is Intel and AMD where this one is a result of Intel getting jealous and scared at the same time.
@@avieshek your guess is not true. May be you should check the Asus product line up again. The last 2 generation Zenbook Duo laptops, 14 and 16 are Intel platform only. AMD only has Zephyrus duo lineup, no Zenbook Duo.
I have the previous version of this, the UX582. It's been an amazing laptop, in fact my favorite. I work as a 3D artist and this thing has made creating 3D on a laptop finally not a pain. The screens make it so I can use all my menus that I live as well as preview window. The power it has brought has been amazing. The keyboard is a bit to get used to, but I honestly don't type a lot anyway, and I often just move the machine a bit more back anyway and it's comfortable. I hate trackpads so I got a bluetooth mouse and rarely use the trackpad which honestly is a bit too sensitive anyway. The 582 pretty much has been a dream machine that almost feels like it was designed just for me with it's second screen, and power that it brings. If I need to be truly portable I've brought a portable battery that's tided me over. I usually use it at a table or desk, as you are correct and using it on your lap is not a great idea. But compared to towing a huge tower around, this has been amazing. I've been running C4D, Zbrush, Substance, Houdini, Unreal, VR and more on this thing and rarely has it slowed down.
With today's new version I'm a bit discouraged to see they went down on the video card from a 3080 down to a 3050 ti. That's pretty much a deal breaker for doing 3D work using external renderers like Redshift or Octane. It feels like they are making the apple mistake and going for form over function. Daring crazy design specs has been what I've been loving about Asus for the last year and making things that can try enhance my work. I hope this is a lower version of the UX582 and they don't abandon the higher powered version., It seems like they are coming out with a bunch of these so maybe my high powered needs are just down road. Who knows.
So to clear things ups,
14" Duo went from MX450 to 3050Ti, and 15" Duo got upgraded in the form of "Asus Zephyrus Duo 16" within their ROG gaming lineup. It now has a 3080Ti, top Ryzen CPU, and new MiniLED display.
Question Rory...would this machine work well for video editing?
@@RobertSpiller I think so but not being an editor myself so take my recommendation with a grain of salt. Since I'm in 3D I pretty much always have to come down on the side of power. The UX582 has a 3080 in it and it covers my needs very well backed up with an i9. I've had photoshop, C4D, and Unreal open all at the same time. Running a bit slow, but I've had Zbrush, C4D, and others open all at the same time with no sweat. I've seen the Pro-art and one of these new ones has a jog shuttle wheel. I applaud the effort, but I would rather have the extra screen. I put a lot of menus down there including dope sheet timelines which I imagine if I was editing a lot I would put my own timeline down there., This isn't something I use on the couch, almost always at a desk, but it's a lot better than carrying a tower around! This thing has the screen space and flexibility to arrange your tools the way you want, and the power to back them up. I'm a bit conflicted on these new models with the 3050 ti. If you think that would be ok, I'd so go for it. My UX582 has a 3080 in it, and isn't even a full year old. Honestly this is the only time working on a laptop that I didn't feel like I was sacrificing either screen space or power for the sake of portability.
The battery life is not the greatest, but I've learned how to deal with it and the other benefits justify it.
Have you had any luck getting the Control Panel to work with apps other than Adobe? I'm also doing 3D work, and being able to have that for Blender and Substance would be awesome.
@@prosperity3370 I haven't messed with the control panel too much and just elected to pop out some of the menus in different programs and extend them down to the bottom screen. Was a lot faster and works just as well.
As this is more of a creativity rather than "gaming" laptop I would've preffered for it to use an AMD laptop for better battery longevity. Both are great for gaming, intel a bit ahead and runs a bit hotter, but I feel like this is something you'd want more on the go and to run quiter.
Thunderbolt is an issue I think....
Thunderbolt makes Intel the default choice for creativity.
Intel Quick Sync and Thunderbolt are huge and also the fact that some creative apps are slightly better optimized on intel cpus makes all creative/productivity focused laptops to still prefer Intel over any AMD version
Bettery difference isn't big. It's unlikely to make a difference in practice.
if you want dual screen and gaming, consider Asus zephyrus duo. If you want amd and high performance egpu, consider flow z13 or x13 with proprietary connection because thunderbolt eqpu belongs to intel at the moment.
Good battery life is essential nowadays for such expensive devices. These laptops should have batteries 90Wh and above unless the laptop has an integrated gpu in the cpu and no discrete gpu. Good review.
It is always nice to see Captain Haddock review about the good tech thingy. This laptop is awesome that I will consider to have one instead of gaming laptop
2:37 The trackpad in the center with a split keyboard layout makes sense. 👍🏻
Absolutely. Do you know if the second screen can be used as a touchpad here?
I'm eagerly waiting for Zerphyrus 16 Duo Review. I'm really hoping that you'll cover that laptop.
What kind or type of keyboard wrist rest you are using? It seems to suit perfectly. Would like to buy the same for my zenbook. Thanks a lot 🙂
Great review. Thank you. I have always looked at previous versions of this laptop with curiosity wondering how well it performs. I just might consider it when I need to upgrade from my current laptop. Side note: at 7:15 in the video the wrong computer is highlighted yellow.
As a fellow lefty, I definitely second your idea of splitting the keyboard. I wonder why it hasn't been done
Left or righty, it’s a great idea. Split the keyboard with the touch pad on the middle.
Great review! However, when is it available?
Good idea to write the name of the computer above the keyboard! I think a lot of users keep forgetting what machine they are using. Also it keeps the interior from getting too clean.
;-) In this regard, DELL is two steps ahead with its XPSes.
Now even Apple has understood, how annoying this is... no logo inside the new MacBook Air!!
They have to do something with the bezel lol
What I want:
• A 14"
• QHD or higher + DCI P3 screen (ideally 500 nits, 90Hz or better, and DeltaE
doesn't 3050 have cuda cores?
@@francescocavallo4978 it doesn't have 6GB VRAM
I'm looking for the similar one, so far not able to find anything like this .....
So basically MacBook Pro 14 but you're broke :P
@@nikilragav indeed, 4GB vram is a joke these days. 8GB vram should be the minimum for entry level discreet graphics.
Dual screen magic ❤️🔥🔥
Hello Matthew, where did you buy that rest pad? Thanks
100% agree with you with regard to the trackpad.
I just order this and now I am here 🙃 hopefully it good for my architect work
Hey, how does it function for CAD and 3D modelling/ renderings? I am also debating between this one and an HP at the moment.
That was a great idea on the keyboard being split! Super ergonomic!
Glad you liked it!
@@MatthewMoniz You should patent it. It’s one of the best ideas I’ve heard in years.
I wish they put an additional USB A on the left side. So few laptops come with 2 USB A ports anymore. Also think they should just drop barrel jacks for USB C 4 and split them one left and right so you never have to choose which side to charge on.
You are not supposed to have your wrists touch anything, and should have them hanging in the air to avoid any future problems. So, dont use the wrist pads unless you plan to just hover over them.
How this laptop is for gaming and recording or streaming the game?
Should I buy this as a gaming content creator?
Can you compare asus ux482 and 8402 please.🥺.I'm wodering between 2 version, can you compare its size also?Is ux483 i7 version beter or the cheapest 8402 better
I own the zenbook duo 14 for a year now and its just amazing as a normal user ..but cant go back to normal laptops
Is it good for digital art, and video editing?
@@rayrayballer1 it can perform normal tasks not heavy video editing…didnt try to be honest
Hi Matthew, congrats for your amazing channel. Can I put the side panel of lighroom or photoshop tools on the secondary display?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks Matteo! Yup you can drag anything to the second display. Think of it as a traditional second monitor.
@@MatthewMoniz Perfect! Thanks a lot!!
Nice review. Sounds like an interesting machine.
Nice job
Just if not too niticky, u should tell more details about the IO and internals
GL
are they coming out with the larger version of this that is Not the Zephyrus duo 16 for gamers?
Is screen burn-in still an issue with OLED displays?
Question for people that own that product. I don’t use alot of application together but i often open a4 pdf. How confortable is it to use the second screen as an extension of themain one and use it to read all a pdf or even an web page?
works perfectly
When will it be available for purchase
I'm a fan of ASUS laptops. I've had an S15 VivoBook for a couple of years and it's been crazy reliable.
hey Bryan, how long have you been using your Vivo for? I had been using my MacBook for 7 years now until it crashed down couple days ago and thinking to get this Zenbook, but have heard that Asus gets broken down easily and often have to send back for maintenance.
@@oboezame Hi Zame. I've had my Vivo for almost 3 years and (knock wood) it's been trouble free. I think all laptop makers, including Apple, put out problem computers from time to time. However, I've had good experiences with other ASUS products (PC motherboards, gaming towers, etc) so I felt safe getting the Vivo. Obviously YRMV.
@@bryans8656 yeah think Im switching to the Asus world now, thanks Bryan :)
Is it good for graphic design and video editing?
@@rayrayballer1 I can't say, haven't used it for that.
They design this crazy lift up cooling mechanism but only put two copper tubes?
Much better than other expensive laptops including macbooks
I need a release date. I want it!! Can you use the second screen as a touchpad?
Yes i mention it in the video = )
@@MatthewMoniz Ah thanks, I shouldn't watch your videos when I am trying to work. I'm no good at multitasking 😁 Mentioned at 05:05 for anyone who wants to know!
A thousand times better is a bit too much ! I think 950 times better is enough :)
Nice review !
Is “OLED 2.8K 120Hz 0.2ms GTG” better than “Mini-LED 2.5K 165Hz 3ms GTG” in Gaming?
I don't know, I think I'd get back and neck pain from looking down at that second display, it feels uncomfortable in every way since you need to look down😵
I hope ASUS brings the 120hz OLED screen to its ROG gaming laptops
They probably follow msi use oled 240hz
@@divinejakiro3656 I didnt even know MSI had that, 240hz oled sounds insane
@@contra_sandinista ya. That's cool. You may check their latest msi ge67 hx oled 240hz QHD
Can't wait for the Razers 240Hz OLED panel
word on battery backup for light usage of surfing + video playback + youtube ?
the Asus logo is awesome
My, Vaio is pretty much dead and I've been looking at these. I'm not sure if I should get the current model or wait it out for this one? I'm in a weird holding pattern because of the release date. The current model seems pretty solid, not sure if I would regret skipping out on the new one.
I just ordered one of these to replace my Sony vaio duo i7 from 2013, while the vaio was still going strong after a fresh battery, that second screen sold me on school work.
@@bustnbolts8120 I actually bought the current version, I like it. Except it's probably four times heavier than my last Vaio, you notice a difference when it's in your camera bag. I'm liking it so far
that's very good review
I think this laptop would be better with a Ryzen cpu, it would give him better battery life
Drooling.. -I wish I could afford one
I think the kind of this designs will be more appropriate for student I don’t know why they are not targeting them!!
It will have normal 14 duo right?
2:36-2:56 Didn't Lenovo solve this problem with the TrackPoint?
What are you guys doing with normal external keyboards? I mean, T Rex arms? A normal keyboard is 3x higher WITHOUT wrist support
5:18 I've been holding a pencil wrong all my life. I'm a left handed writer as well. How do I correct my mistake?
Iam asking if i change the os ,for exemple to arch linux does it harm the second screen ?
2:41 actually a great idea
Will there be a zephyrus duo se this gen as well?
How come this is not for sale anywhere yet?
is this available to buy right now? or when is it coming out?
July I think
You think this will be a good laptop for traiding?
What is the price of this by the way.
I used a zephyrs with this keyboard layout. Never again.
Zenbook 14 Pro Duo? I thought we're going to get 16 inches Pro Duo... Lol
Like the design but bummer it doesn't come with RTX3060, at least a low power 3060.
Yeah I was surprised a bit at first, but then I remembered that I confused it with the zephyrus duo which is the gaming model which comes with higher end gpu's
When does it come out
Where can I get this?
Can it be use when the screen is closed if we connect to the monitor? The air intake is only under the screen pad or also at the bottom of the laptop too?
Thanks Matthew
You're welcome!
I love the hardware but three serious drawbacks:
1. Intel CPU is inferior to my M1 Max Mac.
2. Tons of power to power it. My M1 Max can charge with my phone charger and put this to dust in performance.
3. Windows is windows. You can use it if you have to.
I wish I could have such hardware running Mac OS with an Apple M2 chip.
Still a fantastic computer for a windows user. So fun to use. It is a fantastic productivity tool to use two screens like this. Reading, writing ...
Where are you bye it?
Ah man this was almost perfect for me until they said "3050" instead of "3060". VRAM is important for me!
Get the Alienware X14 then
They have 16" ZenBook Pro with RTX 3060, watch Jarrod's Tech video.
That'll prolly come with the zephyrus duo, m waiting for that as well
@@blue4059 i want 14 inch
I use After effects on my G4560 pentium gold computer.
I have 8 gb of ram dual channel
And gtx 1060 3gb ( for my apex legends)
Was using 730 gddr5 2gb
working absolutely fine
I create good promo, Medical adds,
Please tell some of the harder stuff to really push my desktop.
I don't know after effects that good enough.
I work with the help of tutorial
The latest asus zenbook duo 14, has an i9 13 gen,RTX 4050 and it runs smoth s butter and is no joke if yu are planning to buy it then it is ofc very expensive but compared to gaming laptops it is the cheapst high quality laptop money can buy,An RTX 4050 is no joke!
Dude i am ready to buy exactly the same model with RTX 4050 6GB, I9, 32GB RAM , for programming, networking and little gaming, how does it work for you till now? You bought it now or you have a few months? Thank you man
You know what dissapoint me in this video is "no sticker placement"
lol bro I'm left handed also, just use you're right hand for the trackpad. It's not that difficult and I'm a designer too (use it for precision work).
never ill never join the righties! TRAITOR!
I literally just bought Zephyrus ROG 14 2022 last month, I wish I waited a little bit for this although the keyboard and battery is worse, I would love this one with the 2nd display.
Dude, I just bought the 2021 version of this two months ago. Wasn't a fan of the blue but it was a good deal. Fuck me.
Damn this laptop is so close to being perfect. The battery life sucks… hard to go from a MacBook to this.
The keyboard should be an onscreen one, not a physical one.
Can you play league of legends on that?
How’s the wobble of the screen?
2080?
You can totally play League on this.
I liked it, but I don´t see me using it in a daily basis.
I'm left handed like you🥰
I want this as an ROG Flow I will literally throw all my money away on it
Asus to Matthew Moniz
Lol
Great review and great laptop but a laptop is a laptop because of battery life
I was like "meh" when I saw it only has a 3050TI
They can also just put a trackpoint instead of a trackpad. I don't know how important a trackpad are to others, since I mainly use a mouse..
Should be 360 degrees, AMD processor and bigger ssd
Omg PLEASE blow the dust specks off the 2 screens and the mouspad I can't stop looking at them 😂
Why would I do that? Let's keep it real so you see what it looks like with a bit of normal use.
Why can't I find on their web
I will not only screenshot. I will have the money to buy😅
Just 350 nits main display??
350 nits with 500nit peak brightness
That's my dream🥰 this and the Razer blade 15 🥵😍 that video motivated me as hell to work on my exams next week, thank you sir. People say left handed are more intelligent than others 🙂 and I agree, my dad always makes me amazed by doing things like playing guitar very well like a right handed guy🤯 do you agree?😂
That has got to be the stupidest port layout. Why the thunderbolt 4 ports on the right side where your hand is going to be using the mouse. Why is there a microSD card slot on the rear. Jesus Christ 🤦♂️
If Asus dropped Intel the thermals would drop and they wouldnt need 3050ti with AMD integrated leading to better battery performance as well.
I feel like a touchbar would suffice
8:30 it's astonishing how misleading the ASUS specs are, they claim 17h of battery life xD
No they didn’t! Thanks not true!
Price in Europe?
€1900 for entry level spec (i7-12700H, 16GB RAM)
@@rossdev Out of my budget. Can you name a laptop under 1000 euros with Amd's latest 6000 series processors which I can buy now.
My Apple M1 Max Macbook has 550 nits and I can activate to 1000 nits brightness without needing HDR identifier. This laptop can't and it has 350 nits.
But macbook don't have second screen
Battery life is a deal breaker. What's the point of making an ultraportable powerhouse if you have to carry a brick everywhere and are dependent on an outlet being available? The whole point of a device like this would be able to do productivity tasks and higher order demanding ones on the go. Such a shame. The G14 is the perfect spot right now, though obviously lacking this double screen functionality. I can see this format being useful for streamers and content creators of different types. But the battery is simply unacceptable.
The battery life is better than what he’s claiming by hours
If only the ram is upgradable...also you have the flue don't you😃
Can I charge the laptop via USP port?
Needs more USB
BOOM
i5 in Acer will ever never beat i9 12900 !!! What the hill are you showing !!!!
It will when the i9 is receiving less power to keep cooler. Since it’s in a thin form factor
Lol still prefer the screenpad
