Man, I still have that one too. It's my daily laptop, and I love it. But the thing is, I wanna upgrade to the new Zenbook Pro Duo but this Zephyrus Duo 15 SE actually is my type, especially considering that I'm a gamer and content creator. That 4K 120hz can surely help me out with better FPS in PUBG, but the 2021 Zenbook Pro Duo has only a 4K 60hz. So which one do u think I should take?
I really like the Duo 15 SE, for workflows like 3d modeling, having a second screen is just invaluable. However, for the majority of people, I think that the price is too hard to justify what you're going to get, but you can't really recommend anything else like it because... well... there isn't anything else like it. Thanks for the really awesome review, they really do help especially for people trying to make a purchase decision. I hope you guys will also do a review on the Flow X13, because I feel like it's the polar opposite of the Duo 15 SE except for the price.
At that price I will be hooking a tablet up to my desktop and start calling it the Mothership jr. They neutered what could have been an excellent laptop by going for the second screen and not improving the thermals. Imagine every little thing that can go wrong with having two screens that fold into eachother 😆. We're not responsible enough for this unnecessary tech yet. We can't even come up with proper cooling solutions for high end laptops nevermind running this thing for several hours on end. You're telling me content creators or engineers are using this thing!? Well I'll find out lol.
@Dave Mitchell What is bleeding egde? What does it mean to you? Is bleeding edge cutting the headphone jack on nearly every cellphone on the market? Cutting off the nose to spite the face regarding a nonexistent issue?
@Dave Mitchell Excellent answer brother. Apple's standard and or metric for "bleeding edge" tech was nixing the jack, Samsung following shortly thereafter. I wanted your opinion, thank you.
@@humane143imperfection6 If you wanted a single screen version of the Zephyrus Duo SE then literally look no further than the Strix Scar (15" or 17" depending on your preference). Pretty much identical parts but an extremely cringy "athletic" gamer design. I own the 3070 version of the Duo SE (£2,500) and, whilst it's no looker, I have found myself to be incredibly productive on it to the point that I spend most of my time working on it instead of gaming, but everyone's different so I can't fault you for disliking it. When it does come to gaming, I had no issues with thermals and I think the screen is a clever use of space where there was previously just a blank slate as seen on the Zephyrus S17 (larger size but same principle). The second screen is pretty intuitive and I can't see any additional risks with this screen design over any other single-screen laptop, especially since the mechanism that closes the lid and the mechanism that lowers the screen are one in the same, meaning that they should theoretically never interact with each other in motion. The one thing I have against this laptop is ASUS's quality control. I had a faulty 2021 G15 before this and I have some issues with gummy buttons on this model, and so this laptop is going back. Also, I wouldn't really consider this a cutting edge product, as ASUS dual screen laptops have been out for 2 years now, spanning two separate product lines. It is a very niche product, however.

I have the original Zephyrus Duo and from the looks of it it's identical other than the updated specs and different screen configs, great to know I didn't miss out on much as I bought it a month before they announced the new ones aha
I like laptops without webcam, i have the Zephyrus G14 and happy with it, actually would love phones that have that option too, you can probably focus more on other specs if you dont have camera (or any other hardware). Thanks for the review o/
I agree, I have the g15 and I see people complaining about the lack of webcam everywhere but as someone who is insecure about spyware, I am happy that it doesn’t have a cam. I also don’t think it is really necessary for a gaming laptop unless you want to be a content creator with a webcam lol
@@thegilmourfan Oh I Hadn't noticed that, I thought they all came with the same CPU (not that I've looked that much into it) My Duo SE has a 5900HX and a 3070
So this is more like a creator laptop with gaming functionality than a dedicated gaming laptop. Maybe they should have talked with Nintendo about the strengths and weaknesses of dual screens.
In my experience with ASUS... Just dont buy that crap. Build a cheap PC or buy a cheap laptop. It will Last longer and work better than this generic asus products. Its just Waste of money in overlypriced stuff. Their Brand is so generic that they release new versions of this every 2 weeks.. Just dont waste money on generic stuff.
I'm just really happy that an innovative feature in a product was well-received enough that it exited the "one-off experiment" hole. While I know more companies are just going to ride the success and copy it (which in this case it would be a good category of laptops), I hope there will be more innovation in the laptop market.
I love that this thing exists, it strikes me like folding phones. Super expensive, trying something new, possibly has a great upside but at the very least its got some really interesting ideas. Love the numpad, hate the keyboard haha
Actually this model hasnt sell very good. Its just bad and generic. They have been trying to sell this for so long and nobody wants it after trying it, thats why now they are paying youtuber to lie about it. Do a research look for it, many tech youtuber are being paid by ASUS for it, but thta model is just so bad that meh. Tbh just build a PC cheap or get a cheap laptop, it will be better than wasting money on this generic crap
He even spoke about color and display lmao it has a FHD screen, that color range means nothings without a proper screen that replicates colors properly xD a screen for that costs more than 1k lmao he just lies about it hard af hahaha Generic PC full of useless gimmicks thats what this is.
I was able to find one of the ryzen 9/3080 units and its an absolute monster. I am extremely happy with it and this is the most thorough review ive seen of it. When people who ask about what this laptop is capable of, i will show them this video. Thanks for the great review!
Performance and creative uses for it are interesting. But oof, that price bracket and it’s not a 17” model? Kinda hard to recommend over just buying a cheaper laptop with similar specs and a proper second monitor lol.
There's isn't a laptop at Leat in that price range with ryzen 9/3080 rtx /32gb ram/ a FHD with 300 hz monitor or 4 k with 120 hz refresh rate . If you want a 300 refresh on a laptop you either have to pay much for lower spec like core I 7 and 3060 or lower ram like 16 gb
Awesome video dude! Just a few pointers: The Adobe integration second screen software can be edited to add macros in the settings. There's actually a company ASUS has worked with to create integration for gaming stats. Its called Overwolf. I used to develop apps for them. Genuinely recommend it. The USB C port also supports Thunderbolt 3. The missing webcam honestly is a reasonable ommision, as it keeps the laptop slim/clean with no compromises. Laptop webcam are generally terrible. Most content creators and gamers buying this should have a separate HD Webcam. I thought I'd be worried about it but it's not even a problem at all. Quick Review: I have the intel version that came out last year. One of the best investments I've made. I produce music. Being able to have the drum pad for FL Studio on the touch screen is so cool. I'm a web developer so I code a lot and having the terminal or debugging interface on the second screen is so nice to have. Also since the second screen has pen support you can draw/take notes/draw on whiteboards during work meetings with a pen (I've got a Wacom Bamboo Ink and Surface Pen. Both work great!) I also play games mainly League of Legends and Apex Legends. Overwolf has apps for both games. I mainly use Blitz for League of Legends. If you're a streamer this laptops great for keeping track of chat or even switching scenes in stream software like obs. The build quality is phenomenal too. Definitely worth the price!
You need another camera to not compromise between display and camera angles, quality comes after that. Some might want a 4k machine to be able to say hi without having to fiddle around with yet another device, though.
10:14 if you want to take care of your health you should always put the laptop on a stand (so that it's at the proper eye level) and use separate mouse and keyboard. The integrated "mouse" and keyboard should be used only on the go but not for long working or gaming period
Nice review. I'm digging mine and actually like that it doesn't have a camera. The two wonky things about the KB I'm not digging is the numbers on the F-keys aren't illuminated (only the icons) and my arrow keys don't work properly; instead of moving a single character, it jumps to the beginning or end, top or bottom in one giant leap. Other than that this thing is so ono.
There's a zenbook pro duo with a 3070??? Edit: that does indeed exist! The 4k oled and smaller bezels would've been nice but the fact its intel makes me happy with my Duo SE (purely for battery life reasons, none of that multicore stuff)
got this laptop last week and i cannot even play a youtube video sometimes on the internal laptop if i have both the displays on! I have a 5k monitor connected VIA HDMI, i cannot even play GTA5 on low settings, similar issues with video playback and especially if I connect a Bluetooth headset, its done! HELLLPPPP!!! 🙌🙌
Adoroma allowed me to order one weeks ago. Then they contacted me and said it was on backorder. I needed a laptop for an upcoming trip so I settled for the new Asus rog strix scar 15 with qhd display, ryzen 5900, rtx 3080, 32 gb of ram and 1 tb storage. Went ahead and upgraded it to 64 gb ram another 1 tb ssd and added a loupdeck CT to compensate for everything I was missing out of with not being able to get the zephyrus duo. This was laptop I wanted for months, guess it wasn't mean to be. I can't wait to see what the next few years hold for this model from asus.
i ordered the 3070 version. Microsoft had it for $300 off. So at that price I felt it was worthwhile. I can't wait!!! Were your testing compared to other laptops with in dedicated GPU mode or Optimus? That makes a big difference
I’ve been using an upgraded 2011 Mack book pro for a while now and the battery when unplugged never passed more then 5 minutes so on the battery tests I thought 1:30 was 1 minute and 30 seconds not hours!
I’d say not having a webcam now that we are in post covid is annoying. I’m hoping they throw in a camera module in the future but I don’t think it’s a deal breaker given what other laptop is giving you a dual screen of 4K 120hz
One important part has been left out: the RTX3080, is it the 8 or 16GB version? Because you were talking about productivity etc and 8 vs 16GB of VRam makes a hell of a difference, especially for 3D rendering. 😉
Looks like a beast. I have the asus duo screen i9 which is also a best but with a second flat screen and not tilted. My way around this was to buy a laptop stand and slant it at quite a vertical angle, which works really well. Obviously if it's on your lap, this would be harder but works for me :)
Very cool looking laptop and features. I personally bought the Asus Rog Zephyrus G15 with a 3070, but part of me almost wishes I got this instead. I am going to be doing a lot of video editing next spring. Having said that though I don't think the price tag makes a second screen worth it.
Two things I don't like about this machine is the lack of webcam and the performance of the large screen. I think it could have a smaller "chin" to look at the screens as if they were just only one huge screen. Like the design of Zenbook Pro Duo. And I think they should in build the webcam to the secondary screen and make it a bit more movable. It would be PERFECT!!! I would definitely buy one and expand it's memory to 8tb-s or 16 tb-s. The next models will be even better quality design and I hope they will make a 17 inch design....A perfect machine ❤️
Wait... So this laptop is out, it's just sold out from everywhere. That's really good, but I swear I've been keeping tabs on this thing since January and I could not find a release date for the life of me. Still, if it is out, then that's some good news.
It looks to be pretty niche, and with the price and availability of components i wouldnt be surprised if they intentionally only made a few to test the market :D
Thanks for the view of this un-obtanium vapor. No seriously E you did a great review. I like the machine just too bad i am not holding my breath for getting one. Keep up the good work there guys.
I got mine a few days ago. Asus did a clever thing were the packaging for the power brick doubles as a laptop stand (instruction on how to do this is on the box) So now as I'm typing this. the two screens are in perfect orientation !
In my experience with ASUS... Just buy anything that is not ASUS. Even worse if you are thinking on getting this generic model. Every 2 weeks asus releases new model of it. No real warranty, no nothing. Just buy anything that is not Asus and it will Last longer and work better.
Seems a hefty premium for that extra display, $2900, and we end up with a cramped keyboard and a poor trackpad (left-handers!!!), which are deal-breakers for me, keyboard and trackpad comfort is essential. I am probably not a person to review this as I would never use a second display, I prefer to concentrate on one app at a time. Seems a gimmick for many but I am sure some would buy as it is different, but I am not sure they will be more productive. Too expensive, too gimmicky and really a niche product.
2 to 3 years before omen also launched a laptop named omen 15x 2s with a double screen but the secondry screen was smaller than the main screen, same like zephyrus duo.
Actually, the trackpad is not that bad if you do coding on your machine and occasionally using a cursor. The trackpad position even better than the regular one. To switch to the mouse from typing you just need to slightly move your wrist from the wrist-rest, when with a traditional laptop you need to move a whole arm just to reach a trackpad or mouse.
They need to make the screen 16:10, which would create more space for keyboard to be pushed up and have a slim touchpad below. The touchpad is in a horrible position and gave me wrist strain. Had to return.
Mouse pad is fine, i find it better than middle pads, if you put your hands on you lap, that is where the pad is, could be bigger but when clicking and draging it autosilds once you get to the edge. , power cord could be better spot. cinebench 14200. Not taking mine back
all those function of the 2nd screen bring can be get by a mouse with alot extra side buttons no idea why u really need this extra screen instead of buying a gaming mouse which at max gonna cost you about $100
Definitely gonna buy it. Now I can prepare presentations, edit & create content while watching brazzers on my second screen.
Lol, very good idea, hahahahahahaha🤑🤑😀😀
Had us in the first half ngl
imagine being proud of your degeneracy
bro you misspelt
you meant Brazzers on the top screen ;)
@Born To Sing With The Guitar considering it has 7 hours of battery life, I fail to see your argument
I love that it doesn't have a webcam. Not interested in having somebody to access my camera
your videos are so clean! I don't know any other way I can describe it. Something about your camera or editing produces very very high quality videos

Went ahead and upgraded it to 64 gb ram another 1 tb ssd and added a loupdeck CT to compensate for everything I was missing out of with not being able to get the zephyrus duo. This was laptop I wanted for months, guess it wasn't mean to be. I can't wait to see what the next few years hold for this model from asus.
Mine is coming next week, I can't wait. I found it in the range of price BTW. Thank you for the review
Where did you get it from and how long did you have to wait?
If I have the dough for this beefed up laptop, I have a few extra for a webcam if I really need it. I wish more laptops skipped the webcam IMO.
i ordered the 3070 version. Microsoft had it for $300 off. So at that price I felt it was worthwhile. I can't wait!!! Were your testing compared to other laptops with in dedicated GPU mode or Optimus? That makes a big difference
Congrats! picking the 3080 version soon
I wasn’t interested in this laptop but this guy made one real nice video that I just enjoyed watching. Very nice.
Watching this review even though I can't afford it. Satisfaction guaranteed lol
Bought it from the Microsoft store about a month ago and it's worth every penny.
I actually like the keyboard placement. I almost never use trackpads and reaching over them is awkward ergonomically.
This is the best review of the Asus Zephyrus I've seen. Thank you for this video
No camera is great for security, no longer will I have to worry about someone watching me! It's not a drawback it's another Big Feature!
Yeah cause its not like you can cover your webcam or anything like that hey! Great point.
@@eballan319 exactly, It's not easy covering up a webcam. no webcam is the next best thing!
I think if it were bezeless at the bottom it would make the 2nd screen that much more useful.
I’ve been using an upgraded 2011 Mack book pro for a while now and the battery when unplugged never passed more then 5 minutes so on the battery tests I thought 1:30 was 1 minute and 30 seconds not hours!
Sir, you have a very pleasant voice, and intriguing presentation Mr. Professor! :D God Bless.
I’d say not having a webcam now that we are in post covid is annoying. I’m hoping they throw in a camera module in the future but I don’t think it’s a deal breaker given what other laptop is giving you a dual screen of 4K 120hz
One important part has been left out: the RTX3080, is it the 8 or 16GB version?
Because you were talking about productivity etc and 8 vs 16GB of VRam makes a hell of a difference, especially for 3D rendering. 😉
16 of course :)
18:30 I think that's a problem with the utilization of Nvidia's Ampere architecture at lower resolutions
Looks like a beast. I have the asus duo screen i9 which is also a best but with a second flat screen and not tilted. My way around this was to buy a laptop stand and slant it at quite a vertical angle, which works really well. Obviously if it's on your lap, this would be harder but works for me :)
Very cool looking laptop and features. I personally bought the Asus Rog Zephyrus G15 with a 3070, but part of me almost wishes I got this instead. I am going to be doing a lot of video editing next spring. Having said that though I don't think the price tag makes a second screen worth it.
Now this is a Laptop!!! Pure fire with that second screen
Two things I don't like about this machine is the lack of webcam and the performance of the large screen. I think it could have a smaller "chin" to look at the screens as if they were just only one huge screen. Like the design of Zenbook Pro Duo. And I think they should in build the webcam to the secondary screen and make it a bit more movable. It would be PERFECT!!! I would definitely buy one and expand it's memory to 8tb-s or 16 tb-s. The next models will be even better quality design and I hope they will make a 17 inch design....A perfect machine ❤️
Wait... So this laptop is out, it's just sold out from everywhere. That's really good, but I swear I've been keeping tabs on this thing since January and I could not find a release date for the life of me. Still, if it is out, then that's some good news.
It looks to be pretty niche, and with the price and availability of components i wouldnt be surprised if they intentionally only made a few to test the market :D
I strongly believe that there were literally 10 units in the whole of the UK, as my one was faulty and they now have to wait for more to be imported
Great creative design, but IMO nothing beats the look of Razer laptops. Other manufacturers should catch on.
We need more Ryzen and 3080 laptop combos! Razer needs to get on board.
Thanks for the view of this un-obtanium vapor. No seriously E you did a great review. I like the machine just too bad i am not holding my breath for getting one. Keep up the good work there guys.
as cool as it is in the long run i think it will be bad for your neck always looking down at the 2nd screen when you wouldn't have to normally
I m watching this review on my Asus Duo se 15 3070 version and i love it
May I ask what camera did you use to capture this? Looks stunning.
That is the finest laptop I've ever seen, a laptop stand would be perfect
I got mine a few days ago. Asus did a clever thing were the packaging for the power brick doubles as a laptop stand (instruction on how to do this is on the box) So now as I'm typing this. the two screens are in perfect orientation !
@@DSt3alth NICE !!
But you can't use that on your lap xD
I wish someone would make a mini PC with similar specs.
I would imagine all these features make it extremely expensive
Could you get the Aorus 15P @1th gen with 130W 3080 in the studio
If I'm a student... I would put the work guide on the lower screen and do the trials and work on the main screen
Looks really cool !
Missing webcam wouldn't be that much of an issue for me, BUT we're in this stupid Covid situation.....sooo.....
In my experience with ASUS... Just buy anything that is not ASUS. Even worse if you are thinking on getting this generic model. Every 2 weeks asus releases new model of it. No real warranty, no nothing. Just buy anything that is not Asus and it will Last longer and work better.
i can only envy the battery life; my Omen 2019 only runs for 1 hr. pretty much a UPS.
Where can i find that wallpaper 🥺
Seems a hefty premium for that extra display, $2900, and we end up with a cramped keyboard and a poor trackpad (left-handers!!!), which are deal-breakers for me, keyboard and trackpad comfort is essential.
I am probably not a person to review this as I would never use a second display, I prefer to concentrate on one app at a time. Seems a gimmick for many but I am sure some would buy as it is different, but I am not sure they will be more productive. Too expensive, too gimmicky and really a niche product.
2 to 3 years before omen also launched a laptop named omen 15x 2s with a double screen but the secondry screen was smaller than the main screen, same like zephyrus duo.
i badly need links to your pokemon wallpapers!
Actually, the trackpad is not that bad if you do coding on your machine and occasionally using a cursor. The trackpad position even better than the regular one. To switch to the mouse from typing you just need to slightly move your wrist from the wrist-rest, when with a traditional laptop you need to move a whole arm just to reach a trackpad or mouse.
Can you close the second screen if you don’t want it up or is it always up?
I’m just here waiting for 2021 TUF A15 review.
And with that type of keyboard/trackpad layout you don't gotta worry about programming any palm rejection xD
If they have say anything about this one during the CES, I would have waited. I just got my ZenBook DUO for a few months.
This suck
They need to make the screen 16:10, which would create more space for keyboard to be pushed up and have a slim touchpad below. The touchpad is in a horrible position and gave me wrist strain. Had to return.
Mouse pad is fine, i find it better than middle pads, if you put your hands on you lap, that is where the pad is, could be bigger but when clicking and draging it autosilds once you get to the edge. , power cord could be better spot. cinebench 14200. Not taking mine back
I thought this thing has thunderbolt 3 support, yet places I see it, then some I don’t so what do I believe?
Please someone get back to me!!
hopefully it has lasting stock also i thought they gave you a usb webcam in the box?
Slick deck of Union Theory11 playing cards there... also this laptop looks slick!
all those function of the 2nd screen bring can be get by a mouse with alot extra side buttons
no idea why u really need this extra screen instead of buying a gaming mouse which at max gonna cost you about $100
It’s a touchscreen. So it can pack more buttons than a gaming mouse can possibly have.
@@philnightjar1971 most of gaming mouse have 4 extra buttons ,some can up to 12, but i think 4 is enough tho?
Although I can totally ditch the webcam but 15” screen isn’t enough.
It would be nice if the second screen was able to do a touch pad
Available for purchase 2023
