    This is the best laptop I ever had. I always work with dual monitors, so zenbook duo is a big help when I don't have access to an external monitor. I don't know if I will feel comfortable switching to a different type of laptop after using it.

    • @SkyPerspective

      This is the problem isn't it? Once we get used to a dual screen laptop, it's like how can we even possibly work on one that only has one screen. I had the same feeling when I gave up my galaxy foldable phone Z fold 4. My new phone screen is not as big, but I am getting used to it.

    TY!!!!! I think i followed your recommendation in 2022 and, also by chance (an online auction settled it..) I got stuck with this Asus Zenbook UX482. In German, I would give it a 3, which is a B in the English-speaking world, thus neither unsatisfied nor excited.
    The Pros:
    It took a couple of months though to discover and properly use the "spread screen", having the screen reaching down to the Screenpad Plus.
    Both screen have a good resolution and give a good color/contrast experience.
    The Cons:
    As the upper screen has the "old" 16:9 screen-ratio (though there is room for that in the lid), there is a thick black right in your website/document, hmmm...
    The keyboard is hard to get used too, hmm...
    Getting to the issue here: The right hinge or something close to it sometimes makes "Crack" though I greased it cautiously. Hmmmm...
    I am getting rid of this one in the next 3 months for the fabulous Lennie Yoga 7 1-2.

    After watching your review after 7 months and 2 years I bought a second hand UX482 with i7 and 32GBs of ram! Its a great laptop apart from two problems I found and would like to ask if you have the same problems!
    The first is overheating, I did not open the back of the laptop so I am not sure if the thermal paste is dried or just the fans has dust on it, but the temperature was always so high! Just watching RUclips can rise to nearly 70 degree under the strongest fan mode! And the temperature rise to over 90 degree which cause thermal throttling and downclocking the CPU frequency to just 0.4G! It is completely non usable in gaming.
    The second problem is when the laptop is plugged in battery, using stylus to write on the secondary screen is intermittent no and smooth handwritten.
    Did you face the same problem or has any solution?
    But besides this two problem it's really a great laptop! I enjoyed the dual display a lot and it certainly increased my working efficiency! Thanks for your review after 2 years it's really useful!!!

    • @SkyPerspective
      @SkyPerspective  3 месяца назад

      I bought it from a Australia electronic store called JB HiFi. The stock is from Asus Australia. Now between 14 and 15 inch, it's really a personal preference. 15 inch is a lot heavier and bulkier to carry around, but you get more screen real estate and with this Zenbook Duo, the 15 inch has a number keypad on the touchpad. So pros and cons. I went with the 14 because I like it to be compact and lightweight.

      @SkyPerspective true but specs don't always tell you the truth, it's better to rely on personal reviews like yours 🌹👌. One incident ( a RUclips video ) was about someone who owned a completely brand-new 15-inch pro duo. It was amazing until a year passed by and it went or shall I say plummeted to the ground. I was hoping for a duo laptop to have "Intel EVO certified". Although I don't know what it means but I heard it's the best for battery life ( would be nice if you could emphasize more on that )

    If you had to buy this laptop ( as a i7-1165G7 - 16 GB RAM - 512 GB SSD) today for £630. Would you? Considering the price difference to the OLED version I'm curious if you would consider the older tech.

    • @SkyPerspective
      @SkyPerspective  11 месяцев назад

      It all depends on your use case of the laptop. If you don't need to beautiful OLED screen and you don't need the fast processing power for gaming or video editing, then yes 630 pounds is very worth it for this laptop. If you do video editing like me, then it's better to go for the powerful new version. No point saving the money and make your editing workflow slow and frustrating everytime. That's my thoughts. Thanks for your question.

      Yes and I am still loving it. Battery doesn't hold charge as optimum as brand new anymore, but I still can get a few hours of use without charge.

    • @SkyPerspective
      @SkyPerspective  Год назад +1

      I'm not sure if you should take my advice. I am biased because I have been using Asus laptops for decades, and I don't like the built quality of surface laptop. Aesthetic wise, they are quite different. Asus Zenbook duo has second screen which is great for multi tasking but makes keyboard and track pad a bit cramp.
      Sorry for making it harder.
      Hopefully others who have used Microsoft surface laptop can comment too.

      I've not done that before, but I don't see why not. The touch screen and pen should work.

The screens are protected when we close the laptop isn't it?

    • @SkyPerspective
      @SkyPerspective  Год назад +2

      Battery life is really subject to individual usage and what software we run. My typical day of using the laptop battery outside. About an hour video editing, couple of hours surfing net checking emails, typing documents for about an hour, video conference for about an hour, after that typical day the battery usually is left with about 30% to 40%. I do all these with second screen on. I don't play games on it. Hope this helps.

    I just found an Asus zenbook duo ux482ear i5 , ram16gb and 512gb for the price of £440. Is thia a good price for this laptop?
    The main use would be just to connect my Tascam model 12 and download a daw for music production but i will not be using or more than 12 tracks, would this laptop be up to do this task without me having issues or would be better look for another option?
    The fact this laptop have the second screen really is atractive when comes work flow .

    • @SkyPerspective
      @SkyPerspective  8 месяцев назад +1

      That's a good price if you are putting the second screen to good use. We seldom get laptops with two screens for productivity. I haven't done much about music production . Based on simple logic, this laptop can handle video editing software with multiple video tracks, so 12 audio tracks should be a piece of cake for this zenbook duo. However, there are lots of variables like your audio quality bit rate and the software, etc. What I suggest is you can compare it to the current computer that you are editing this audio, compare the CPU and ram, and you should get some idea if it's capable.

      Depends on which and what type of games. It has a powerful graphics MX450, but that's getting old.
      This laptop is designed for content creators in mind, the 14 inch screen might be too small for gaming. Perhaps go for the 15 inch Zenbook Duo.
      If you only use the laptop primarily for gaming, I would suggest get a gaming laptop. Consider this zenbook duo only if you do work and play games on it 50:50 percent of the time. I am not really a gamer, so take my advice with a grain of salt. Hope this helps.

      It should be fine and should last you at least another couple of years. Make sure the version you are buying comes with Windows 11 (maybe different in different countries) so you can get updates. It should be more than capable of running MS Office, project and Photoshop. Not sure if it can handle the version of Autocad today. The version of Autocad I have used before was more than 20 years ago. I am surprise Autocad is still around today.
