Read about this on the verge today and immediately thought: God I hope Mr. Mobile does a video on this!!! Thank you so much for making that wish come true!
Honestly, you've completely changed my perspective and introduced me to many great gadgets like foldables, Smartwatches but desktop replacements are my favorite thing you review, you introduced me to this world of laptops that I've always been looking for and I love it! Thanks for this wonderful upload ,Mr.Mobile Have a nice day!
THANK YOU. I spent 9 hours researching Asus and it's products to figure out which one is right for me. This one definitely stood out but I was really hesitant about the tiny touchpad. Nice of you to mention that I could convert the entire secondary display to a giant trackpad. And that the primary display is non-touch. Very helpful video overall :)
i swear you could play tony stark in a marvel movie and it would actually work and thats not a compliment i am serious, the personality the looks it all fits
My man mrmobile has done a laptop vid on the day the new samsung phone came out and i think thats brilliant, its good to see that he only does the content he wants to do and you can tell when he actually cares about his content.

Seeing all these fun extras makes me miss the intuitive Vaio laptops after the turn of the century. Here's a thought! How about a "When Laptops Were Fun" series?
When Laptops were Fun ... or When Notebooks were Noteable/Novel? When Laptops were Loveable? When Portables were Pretty? LOL, IDK, nothing rolls off the tongue quite like "When Phones Were Fun!"
@@memo29b the ports are actually straight regarding the whole body, you can see it at 1:17, just that the taper both from the bottom cover and also the lifting second screen are slanted here. But I totally agree that it looks off and strange ;)
I have the Asus Zenbook Duo 2020 and I am absolutely in love with it. The best laptop in the world for me! And now new and updated units are being released, I feeling excited! The dual screen is just the bomb!
When Asus says "in search of incredible" they weren't kidding. This laptop is indeed *INCREDIBLE* and for a starting price of $999.00, wow 😲 I wish it has a Ryzen CPU and at least 2 USB A ports but that's just me
Thank you for the Turbo Encapulator read for that demo, got a hearty chuckle out of me! Wonderful review as always, and I'll be watching David's video right after yours!
If y'all wanna see more of the Adobe integration on the second screen of this laptop, TheUnlockr's "Real World Test" has those, and much more beautiful B-Roll. Pay David a visit and tell him I sent ya: ruclips.net/video/9UZFh3tCvA0/видео.html
Finally someone mentions the webcam and speakers, and just just the ports and screens. Thank-you! I'd like to know more about the thermals, throttling and fan noise though.
If that noise cancellation is a software only feature, then please ASUS, also provide the general folk with it. At $999 with i5, this is gonna be a steal.❤️
You really use devices before giving your opinion about that particular device, which is great for the viewers because they are getting a totally honest review which also helps them to consider to buy a product, other than this channel other YT channels are rushing to make the vedio before official launch of the product and get most of the views. Always love your work man, keep it up🔥
I got this about a week ago. Can't go back to a regular laptop. I love this thing. I use the second screen all the time. Also very fast for what I use it for as well as good battery life. It's just so cool!
I could see this being useful for audio production if Asus and some software companies teamed up to make the second screen usable for anything from DJ tools to sampling and more.
I LOVE THE FRESHNESS OF THIS RASCAL! I DON'T GET IMPRESSED BY GEEKS OR NERDS BRAGGING ALL THEY DO FOR THE MERE HYPE OR THUMBS UP COUNT AND ALMOST GETTING ON THEIR KNEES FOR A 'LIKE' OR 'SUBSCRIPTION', I CAN SPOT THEM A CLICK AWAY. THIS GUY ON THE OTHER HAND IS REALLY LIKABLE! WOW! AN HONEST, UNBIASED BREATH OF FRESH AIR (I'm still breathing the review) SO THIS TIME I WILL SUBSCRIBE (Just because I want to) AND TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH WHAT THIS GUY HAS TO OFFER AND SAVE ME SOME PRECIOUS 'SEARCH TIME' GETTING ON BOARD WITH NEW TECH AND INNOVATION. WELL DONE MATE! THAT'S HOW TO DO A FIRST TIME IMPRESSION (On me, at least) AND A NO NON-SENSE REVIEW. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! 10-4
The ports are aligned with the top and the general direction of the bottom part of the laptop. I think the logic board is placed correctly and it’s not a problem of this unit.
I like how he never use sensational click-bait titles like "Best laptop of [insert year here]?" or "The Ultimate [insert brand here] PC?" All Mr. Mobile's titles are sensible and sometimes even honest ^_^
MrMobile I hope you review some of the new A series devices from Samsung the A32 looks pretty interesting and the A12 is a cheap phone but has pretty decent specs.
Hey, just want to be sure , which country do you live in?, Because if you live in almost any part of Asia,or Europe, I strongly don't recommend a samsung budget device
You could review a doorstop and I would watch from start to finish. Every video is so great, you really put time and dedication into each line and piece of b-roll. (That b-roll during the fan sequence was just, GUH.) I keep saying it, but keep it up Michael!
I absolutely love mine, I just bought it and it looks fabulous on a desk (though thanks to you I noticed the USB angles). They probably did that because of the motherboard angle 🙄And I think it's fair about the battery life without the screen pad because all the other laptops would be assessed with only one screen. But yes in practicality it is a lot lower than 11 hours... Worth it though.
The way they test the battery like is like testing the range of an electric car while its in the back of a tow truck... only using the aircon at 30% capacity
Thanks for the great review. Well done. I have been on the fence for a while but now I think it will be my next laptop when the expanded versions come out.
@@TheMrMobile Can't believe what was once so costly and used in the enterprise, he's just giving it out for free. I only wish Gordon had accepted his deal to run the company with him.
In a way I’m glad about the quarantine for one reason only. I dont have to use my 13in laptop as my main school pc. I can sprawl out on my triple monitor setup (an old 1080p tv, 22in XP-PEN tablet, and 1440p PX275h main display) with plenty of space to work productively. Needless to say, when things go back to normal, this is my dream laptop. A single monitor is brutal to use. Even a half monitor like this would make the experience 10x better. Two monitors are needed for real work in my opinion. Anything else in addition is just a nice bonus.
This product line is gaining momentum just as I have decided I would be going from mobile stations to a desktop tower. It is an incredibly compelling new category, and their commitment to it is encouraging....! I have no idea what I'm going to do anymore.
Just a thought, what about having a normal single screen laptop where the keyboard would angle upward like on these Duo laptops You'd still get the bottom half for your wrists, the keyboard gets a nice raise, air still gets to enter from above the laptop and the separation of the keyboard from the internals keeps the keyboard cool especially with the intake air passing beneath it
Asus makes the best Windows laptop in my opinion. Using the original Zenbook Duo for almost 1 year, it is really something different from regular laptop. This generation basically solve the issues on the first gen, Thunderbolt, fast charging, prop-up screen pad. Although I am not going to upgrade my laptop but happy to see how Asus brings in new upgrade. 5 years later it would be even better by the time I need a new laptop.
4:40 and thats why the keyboard should be on top and the screen below so that it works like a touchpad with a screen under it, do some palm reception wizardry and boom, perfect solution
That would be an ergonomic nightmare, IMO, but ASUS does offer other laptops that put the second screen into a smaller bottom-mounted trackpad, if that's what you really want.
great vid. at first seems like you don't dig the machine, but in the end....I think you're pretty stoked on it. i ordered the same one with 16gig ram. since the mx450 is an option.... you think I would be able to make that upgrade later?? thanx a bunch!
This is actually the second generation of a 14 inch dual display laptop. The first generation UX481 is available right now. Thought about getting one a few months ago, but the lack of Thunderbolt and the Comet Lake-U processor was a hard no for me, the new one I’m definitely more interested.
MrMobile, your camera technique starting around 2:20 for the vignette/focus? It makes the keyboard look as if it flexing a great deal, at least initially.
The janky uneven ports are an optical illusion due to the inclined edge that runs on the side of the device... the ports are actually parallel to a flat surface.
Position of touch pad is not good and the limited tilt on the lower screen is annoying but for me the deal killer is the inability to update the RAM or even replace battery. I'm done with manufacturers using this kind of built-in obsolescence to make people buy a replacement every couple of year's.
Out of all the duo screen laptops, would you say this is your favourite? Seems the others you've reviewed have more faults - what duo screen would you recommend?
