The multi functionality of the dual screen laptop is honestly really nice and the numerical num pad on the second laptop is genius. Love when tech has smart features like that!
I am hoping the Duo will help maintain grandchildren's focus on schoolwork. The duo screen should work great for viewing math problems on one screen and solving them on second screen. Also, answering questions on top screen while having bottom screen open to open to the lesson.
What about the screens? I get it's amazing when watching media but having a not so common 1800p resolution, do texts/icons look blurred or do they look fine?
Asus claims 10.5 hours running both screens, 13.5 on just one, but I haven't seen anybody doing real stress tests yet so take that with a grain of salt. Real world loads almost always spend more electricity than the tests they do for marketing, and they probably had the brightness setting pretty low for those. But it'll probably be respectable.
Great video and review! I just have one question: Is there some type of mechanism in place that will prevent the keyboard from scratching the surface of the bottom screen, especially since one might constantly remove and put back the keyboard. Thanks!
I'm pretty sure the screens are both gorilla glass, so scratching them up would take some doing and *should* be impossible with the underside of the keyboard alone. That said, be careful not to get any sand or quartz crystals caught between the keyboard and the lower screen.
Hi. The keyboard lays flat on the bottom screen. Keyboard has smooth surface underneath. There is no void between bottom screen and keyboard so before you attach keyboard you should check if there is anything on the screen
I genuinely want one... Was looking for a tablet PC with a Thunderbolt + Ultra processor, and this basically doubled up my desire! Any idea if you can bend it beyond 180 degrees while in sharing mode so while it's standing up on the table for both you and the people you are presenting to? Anyone know if it has a webcam? It would be sick if laptops did what the redmagic phone did and hide the webcam BEHIND the display for a bezel-less clean look .. I think I'm absolutely sold on this. I see Lenovo has one but this seems to be a better price point and has the pen which I could use.
The hinge is only in the center. Does this mean that the laptop wobbles as you type on it in clamshell / one screen laptop mode? In that mode the unit rests on the narrow hinge on a desk.
Hi, If you still need to know then i have this laptop and ARC is borrowing memory from actual ram. It can get up to 8gb and you can either allocated as much as you want permanently yourself or set it to Auto. I have it set to 8GB permanent and can confirm that out of 32gb i had system now recognizes only 24. I would suggest going for 32gb ram version as i can't imagine getting 16gb and being left with 8gb for example.
This is the idea for those of us that sketch and draw. One could do the paint program on one screen and the reference and or video software on the other to record the process. Far better than a single screen tablet (like iPad) or 2-in-1 like the Surface Pro. However, I understand that the pen capability on this laptop is not as good as the Apple Pencil or Surface Pen and would have to be for me to go there.
I would use it for day trading. Can take it anywhere in the world, pop it open, and trade. Love it. Can't wait to buy it. The price is very reasonable at $1,699 for the 32G Intel 9.
I have the zenbook duo half screen and it's perfect for me. Not sure how often I personally would need two full screen displays but for content creators and business folk who often multi-task, I can see this as essential. Awesome
Would you please share the back up battery time? I intend to buy this one but it shows only 3.5hrs whereas my current macbook pro gives minimum 12hrs. How's your overall experience with Zenbook duo?
Hi. Yes you can carry it without keyboard but there is a small void between screens. I am not sure if this can damage screens if something presses too hard in your backpack. In some other reviews they show how it looks when you close it without keyboard
@@Lukas-go2wv I had a look at it in a shop. It's quite bulky and fragile in the end, and I miss the option to flip it over to use it as a tablet. I prefer the form factor of the YogaBook 9i, but that doesn't take an M.2 2280, and I need at least 4TB of SSD space. Guess I'll wait for Lunar Lake devices. Hopefully there will be a new nice Windows tablet.
OMGOMGOMG 🤩 Asus has now come up with their answer to the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i 😁👍, I am soooo looking forward to this Karl 😍. I'm a Project Manager and God knows there aren't enough screens in front of us to help us manage meetings, chats and deliverables😅, so a dual screen laptop is a God-send spesh when we have to be onsite / in transit. Thanks for linking us the Asus site, I'm pouring over the Tech Specs now. btw, can you give us your initial feedback on this dual screen Asus versus the Lenovo version? I'm keen on your perspective spesh you now handled both and I'd like to hear your pros/ cons in both (even if just an overview since the Asus version is still pre-Prod)
Is the detachable keyboard backlight illuminated? ps: I think the sharing mode (clone) is not usable. You would be looking both at the reflection of the ceiling lights...a tent mode would have been much better and have a smaller footprint on the table, plus it would be able to evacuate heat easely.
A hinge that goes more than 180 degrees adds mechanical and electronic complexity, which makes it more expensive to build and probably reduces the lifespan of the device. Something like the yogabook 9i does work exactly like you describe, but it costs about $500 more than the duo for a slightly less powerful machine. I think the devs looked at the value of tent mode and tablet mode, and made a conscious decision that reducing the price (and possibly increasing durability, though we obviously dont have any data on what these look like 5-10 years later) was worth the tradeoff.
@@sindrisuncatcher653 that is the story of asus. However I've had tent mode laptops for years now (spectre x360)(I had 1 every two years since 2018: 3 generations). They are at the same price, same weight, and the hinges never had a problem. Lenovo yoga's same thing lightweight,not expensive and no hinge problems (I searched the internet forums). Concerning your price argument of the Lenovo : it was expensive because it had no competition and it had a lot of external accessories that cost money. The tent mode has 3 advantages in my opinion: able to really sharing mode, protection against vent suffocation when using on a bed or coach, and able to order the laptop as a tablet (360 degrees mode). It certainly is possible for a low price and weight.
i love the form factor. However, it still utilizes the age old hinge technology that plagued the industry. Definately, i appreciate ASUS to keep attacking the innovation unlike other companies for the sake of the finance.
Some feedback about the audio of this video: the intro soundtrack was a bit louder than the voice recordings such that if your hands are messy while cooking/ eating then it's difficult to fiddle with the volume controls in such a short time. There were another 1-2 instances as well where the volume was a bit low in between. Also for 2024, why don't you try to do something new like review the retail versions of these CES products for about a week to give concrete impressions for better purchase decisions especially on your way of using them? You may do it as a poll to see what your viewers want as well. Do it like a random tech product once in a month and summarize your experience at the end of 2024. Good luck with a million subscribers and hope to see you there and beyond soon!
This seems like a very earlier look at the future of laptops. If they had extremely good haptics, might now even need the keyboard add-on. In 5-10 years from now all laptops will be like this but 1 continuous foldable screen.
I really love the dual screen functionality of this laptop. Contemplating giving my MacBook Air to my girlfriend so I can get this instead (I also like Windows a lot more than MacOS)
The Zenbook Duo is probably the most refined dual screen laptop I've used to date 👌🏻
I swear someone's reuploading your stuff to this yt name: savvvy1 - copied even the description
This is awesome. This is really close to a screen configuration I use for work every day.
The multi functionality of the dual screen laptop is honestly really nice and the numerical num pad on the second laptop is genius. Love when tech has smart features like that!
Three of those and it’s only a matter of time until a Bloomberg Terminal user brings his whole trading setup to a local coffee shop near you.
😂😂
Huge fan of your work... Love u'r content and i also share them with my friends
And also a Porsche fan
I really like the design of the laptop. looks gorgeous
Perfect for day trading when traveling
Can this project to a television or hook up to a television through a connecter, ie. HDMI cable?
The duo is definitely my new pc
Can you use a monitor along side the laptop in dual screen mode?
Of course; it has an HDMI out and two thunder 4 ports. You could technically plug up more than one additional monitor.
I am hoping the Duo will help maintain grandchildren's focus on schoolwork. The duo screen should work great for viewing math problems on one screen and solving them on second screen. Also, answering questions on top screen while having bottom screen open to open to the lesson.
What about the screens? I get it's amazing when watching media but having a not so common 1800p resolution, do texts/icons look blurred or do they look fine?
This is awesome! Good old laptops!
Would be perfect for programming
I am most concerned about the battery life with 2 screens. How is it ?
Asus claims 10.5 hours running both screens, 13.5 on just one, but I haven't seen anybody doing real stress tests yet so take that with a grain of salt. Real world loads almost always spend more electricity than the tests they do for marketing, and they probably had the brightness setting pretty low for those. But it'll probably be respectable.
Are there any new release in Asus gaming laptop line up?
Asus was my first laptop😊glad they stepping up in the game
Can it run Diablo 4 with its configuration?
When does this come out?
+
When will the zen book duo release ?
When will it be available in the market?
it is now i guess
Where's pen support ? It's calling for it

I was wondering the same.
Oops. Never mind. I see from another question below, that it does not. :)
@@MonicaAlcorn-bn5qn yea, so close to being perfect

ruclips.net/video/oNlFWy4Cu40/видео.htmlsi=IixjkedzZNx6zJ6Y&t=66 No, thanks to the 4 long legs in each corner.
@@LukiKowa Yeah, I figured. Terrible design choice no less. My Surface Pro has the right kind of hinge.
Do this Intel arc has own gb just for graphic and do you think 4K Video Editing is possible or is it to Hard for this Notebook/graphic Card ? :)

I like how it's a full keyboard with the mousepad, unlike before.

just wondering why it doesnt have flip mode

I don't really see the use of an additional screen
Will them hinges become loose over time. A twin screen laptop genius

Yes! I just wonder if it can be closed and carried without the keyboard, to save weight. (because I want to use my own BT keyboard anyhow)

Top notch aesthetics on the video tho
I like your content man
This thing looks fuggin awesome
the dual gaming feature is just incredible.
Very nice!!!

How does it plague the industry?
Where are the class-action lawsuits if it is so bad?

Make your own videos instead of being a jerk to other people.
It only has Mac OS…will be the perfection it’s self 😅
Carl your amazing but like any others RUclipsrs. They just review and never use these PCs lol
pretty darn cool!
what the..... interesting 2024 tech
Really awesome 👍👍👍👍
all i want to know is the battery life
If they will make 128gb ram configuration will think to buy it
Otherwise no
32gb ram in 2024 looks like ridiculous
Somebody FINALLY found a way to look more pretentious in a Starbucks.

that dual screen looks clean 👌🏾
make this 16" 2k with a 99WHr battery and anti reflection coating and asus will have my money instantaneously
just say you can't afford it and leave it at that...
@@RK-um9tu LMFAO, are you dumb? Don't you know 16" variants are more expensive than 14"?? 😂😂 @RK-um9tu 🤡
2:36 are you just watching 2 videos here and pretending to play?
Nice Product from Asus
Best Laptop 2024
WIth each passing YEAR, MacBooks become a bigger and bigger JOKE that only tech IGNORANT people buy..
it has so many different screen modes, Asus actually did a good job building this.
I can watch 2 live football games at the same time
I really love the dual screen functionality of this laptop. Contemplating giving my MacBook Air to my girlfriend so I can get this instead (I also like Windows a lot more than MacOS)
You are a smart human being...
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hi
Can u gift one to me😅
It has become a good alternative for crypto and currency traders. Having dual screens is very appealing. 👍
Obviously 😅
100000000 like

No wifi 7 that’s a big disappointment
