I've watched several reviews of this laptop and yours is, by far, the most useful I've seen. No one else talks about how to use many of the available features ... They just blather on about specs. Thank you!
Thank you! :)
Yea the 41mins were quite worth it
@@JosephKim Thank you Joseph, it's absolutely true! 👏
Looking at this for my first laptop.
@@JosephKim ty
27:40 spot on about this. I thought I would have a hard time but now I actually prefer it. The movement is more natural to slide your right arm side to side to get to the touchpad as if reaching for a mouse. Recently had to use a regular laptop and I hatedddd using the bottom touchpad
:) thanks!
I love the casual pen spinning that is just so fluid. Also great video, very in depth.
Haha, thank you.
Very excellent review, just what I was looking for, having just bought this. Agree with you on the usability of right side touchpad, which I enjoy, and may not add the trackball I normally do - very nice. Thank you so much for your effort.
Thanks for awesome feedback!
Beautifully done. This is the explaination of the featureset I was looking for.
Thank you!
Very informative and loved the video but that one spin is super smooth, keep up the good content!
Thank you!
Very detailed review! Thank you. This will be my next laptop.
Nice!
Great review. I make the smaller screen as my primary display, which brings the task bar to the bottom. The laptop remembers which screen you last used for a program and re opens where you left off so it works practically.
That's a good tip. I thought of it, but didn't feel right doing so. But I don't think there would be anything wrong with doing it that way!
Love this machine! Your video helped me decide to buy!
I'm glad!
u r awesome man !
i liked how u have explained everything !
keep it up homie !!
Thanks!
Great thorough review! Thanks! I bought this Zenbook pro duo recently and still learning how to use it so your overview is very helpful. One thing I found to help with crossing the taskbar along the "edge of screen" is in the "edge lock" settings in the MyAsus" tool that you can toggle. It basically works when the cursor gets to the bottom edge of the first screen (or top of the second screen), the cursor will lock for a second before going to the other screen.
Ah, that's great!
@@JosephKim 👍 oh sorry. correction. the edge lock settings were in the "ScreenXpert" tool under Settings >Windows Control.
I like the way u deliver your opinions. Thanks bro.
Thanks :)
Thanks for the detailed review!
My pleasure!
I'm just now getting to see this & it is THE most helpful review for users. I am looking at 2-in-1s and don't think I need the dual screen this has but if I could have it in addition... I would! LOL
Thank you!
Great review, Thx for the time stamps
You are very welcome!
Really good review, thank you. I wish it had a full size or micro SD card slot. I do alot of video editing and I go back and fourth between both sized cards so that was one thing I wish was in the IO.
That's a fair point for such use case scenario.
This is a great review. Especially for first time laptop buyers.
Thank you!
I love this review very detailed and informative
Thank you!
Great breakdown over features that people in other review don't speak about
Thank you!
ASUS just dropped the price to $1,900 on Amazon I just bought one. Thanks for the review!
Nice!
How do you like it? I'm looking to upgrade this year and the idea of a dual screen laptop seems really nice but not sure if it's enough to warrant it over a single screen. The yoga and new duo model look nice but neither come with dedicated graphics
@@karikaru I love it it's great!
@@TradeWithMilad nice! Well maybe I'll give it a try when the time comes (might wait for black Friday). The special functionality with adobe products seems really useful. Mostly though, I'd love it just to have discord up on bottom while working, gaming , or watching a show up top
Thanks. Great info and is helping me decide if I should get this one. Have always been a Dell girl! :0
Haha, my pleasure! I use Dell too, but it's good to venture out time to time ;)
Very nice information ... Thanks a lot
Thank you.
Great review!
The best I've seen so far.
Thanks much.
It was practical, not fan boyish and on one of the machines I'm thinking really hard about getting.
A few questions
- I'm not seeing on Amazon (US) the configuration I'd want of a 3070 card with an i7 and 32 GB memory. Do you know anywhere else I could customise it to such?
- Were you able to open it and upgrade any parts?
- I know this is subjective, but would you use it as your everyday carry? I'm torn between it, the new Macs and the ProArt studio also from Asus
- At minute 30:30 I think your said a "new version" is coming out soon. Were you referring to a new version of this laptop. Cuz Id really like to see if they could improve on this ... like TB4 instead of TB3, and an SD card reader.
This dual screen concept is really something I hope I could get used to. I love to multi task. But then again those new Macs really look efficient. I'm looking into going into content creation.
Thanks again
I think there is only a few skews available. I didn't see 1TB/32GB with i7. Only with i9. I didn't attempt to open the laptop. Not sure if any company trust me to open devices whilst I don't even trust myself. Whilst I think the new MacBook is a good machine, I can't use MACs for my work. Also, I always prefer a desktop to do work on, then a thinner and lighter laptop for everyday carry. But obviously everyone is different. I've heard 11th gen is around the corner. I don't know the specifics, but I feel like TB4 is quite likely.
@@JosephKim but can any of your applications run on the Mac via emulation software like Parallels?
@@russjam it takes such a huge hit in performance, and all of my shortcuts screwed is not experience that I am willing to spend a lot of money for.
Macbooks pro doesn't work with Unreal Engine fully. I'd just like to know what are the real differences in term to use it for 3d modeling with a zephyrus which the last spec was rtx 3080 16 gigs
Joseph, great and fair review. Asus missed opportunity: Surely a storage area could have been designed to store the stylus or at least a magnetic point on / in the massive "Palm Rest".
Haha yeah.
Love your reviews!
A question for you: I am an industrial designer looking for a new computer and leaning towards the zenbook pro duo as I love the features it has and the ability to multi-task with the additional screen and the ability to use the touchscreen and stylus to create sketches.
But here's the thing, I'm working mostly with solidworks, keyshot, Adobe suit and PowerPoint, and more than often use some of those at the same time. Do you think this computer can handle that or will I force it to do stuff that are too much for it?
I am worried that the 32 gigs of ram and the not optimized for solidworks gpu (not a quadro) will not be enough for what I do.
Will you recommend it for my kind of usage?
Thank you!
I have not used Solidworks extensively and lack in what it requires. I think you would be loading CPU more so than GPU. Also, I do not think you will need Quadro for this. In a lot of cases, I find 32GB to be sufficient, but I suppose you can fill that up with very large project files.
Hi! Love this video ! I just got this laptop and was curious what stick on laptop top stand did you use to provide more ergonomic comfort? Would be a great help :)
The one I used is the one that was included in the box. There is an unboxing video that I made before this.
Hi, great video - very informative. Would you recommend this for students taking notes or get a mac pro m1/m2?
Probably not for students as it is quite expensive and niche. But it would be a good note taking laptop. Idk about M1 or m2 as I have never owned one.
Very comprehensive review! Thank you so much ❤
Thanks for watching!
@@JosephKim I'm planning to get the 12th gen version of this! Do you think they would address the problems you raised? I really need the second screen to keep me in my multi-tasking workflow as a Motion Graphics Designer. However, the new Zenbook Pro 16X looks to have addressed most of the issues people don't like about the Pro Duo 15 and the heat dissipation of it. Do you think I should choose the extra screen over performance? (Heat dissipation) Thanks so much in advance!
@@Curios_Cat I didn't find pro duo to be too hot. Maybe because it wasn't as powerful?
@@JosephKim Not exactly, Pro Duo is already cooling efficient. However, the cooling system on the Zenbook Pro 16X is derived from the Pro Duo's and they made it better, so users could enjoy even more wild performance. Hence, I'd like to know your opinion on the cooling system of the Pro Duo. Do you think it's still good enough to handle a 12th gen i9 or should I choose the ZBP 16X? I'm torn between the new cooling solution and an extra screen. Since you're also a creative professional, I'd be very delighted to hear your take on the current cooling system of the Zenbook pro duo and how it might fare with an 12th gen core i9. 😁😁
@@Curios_Cat it honestly was really good IMO. But 12th gen is hot, so I don't know how much they were able to tune it to make it run really well. At least in my case, my tasks aren't too CPU heavy, so I'd go for extra screen even if the CPU isn't faster.
really good review
Thank you!
Good review, looking to purchase item off your review
Thank you!
Great review. Is it possible to disable the keyboard while you're using the stylus pen on the second screen? It would be great to use the keyboard as a palmrest in that case.
The screen is quite big and you can easily rest your palm there. Not sure if you can disable keyboard, but that's not really needed.
Great review 😊 I believe Asus will be successful like what Lexus did. I drift from Dell to Asus for engineering task. I am going to buy a smaller one and place a 27” screen on home
Sounds great!
Really amazing video! About cooling, do you think a Cooling pad will help?
Probably not. As my workflow didn't really heat up the unit as much.
@@JosephKim How about during gaming? Is the fans loud?
It was maintained quite well during load too. I did not play games tho.
I'm considering getting the UX582 version, this review was very helpful and detailed.
One thing that I wanted to ask is how was the cooling performance for long usage? (6-8 hours)
Sorry in advance if this offended you, I think the way you explained was a bit slow and I had to use 1.25x playback to enjoy the content but nevertheless good content. Maybe this can be improved in the future video
Playing however fast is totally up to you. I wish I can speak faster, but I can't. And everyone's time is valuable, listen to it X2 if you want to :)
I don't think you will experience much difference in cooling performance 30 min vs. 6 hours as it will reach its max cooling capacity quite quickly. (as to most of laptops) it was coiled quite well as I didn't hear fan going full tilt on even very demanding tasks. But your millage may vary.
Hey Joseph! Awesome videos, I've been scrolling through a few and had a question about using an eGPU with this Asus Pro Duo? The internal graphics card is great (RTX 2060) but when it comes to rendering in lumion, as a landscape architect my files get quite heavy and performance becomes an issue compared to a similarly speed desktop. Would an eGPU with a higher performing card boost my speeds? Thanks!
Yes it will. :)
@@JosephKim thank you thank you! I'll have to do some research!
im trying Zenbook 15 pro RTX 3080 'cause for architecture, revit and lumion, but i can't get information about its performance with these programs using this graphic card i have mentioned.
Very helpful one .... thanks Joseph
If you or someone else kindly guide me if done any programming tasks on it ... python particularly as I am very much tempted to get this for my data analyst job but not sure
Hi, I am sorry as I don't have much programming background. Are those all CPU bound tasks? Or do they need GPU horsepower?
My friend thank you for this! Is there any chance you could use the second screen as a touchpad and let me know how comfortable it is to use on your lap? I dont mind the weight, but just using the second screen as a touchpad. Thank you!
There is a mode to turn the second screen into touchpad. I have not tried it though.
It is such an interesting laptop, very cool design. Seems like it has so much potential yet it could be gimmicky.
Yeah, the key is how functional it can be. The dual screen Def is functional. The keypad+TouchPad is a bit of gimmick IMO.
It's most appealing to me that the touchpad is right, it's where I have my mouse and I'm left-handed. It's really annoying to have the touchpad in the middle because like you said both hands fighting there and my right mouse hand blocks partially the left hand accessing the keyboard.
Nice! Thank you :)
⭐💻Hey #ASUS, I'm buying because of THIS high quality review! 💰💰💰
Yay! Thank you.
Nice review! Does it run Minecraft though?
I'm sure it will. I've seen it run on much less machine.
Hi, thanks for this useful video. I am interior designer student and I am learning sketch up and enscape 3d rendering do you think I can work with this laptop or do you suggest the razer 17 laptop?
I really did like this laptop. However, I have not tried Razer 17 myself, so I can't say one is better.
@@JosephKim so do you think this computer enough for enscape? :))
@@melikeozturk9848 for the most part, I think it is!
I'm going to pick this or the zephyrus model up later this year
They are both good!
Thank you
Thank you!
How is the legibility of text on the bottom screen? Is text too small on the bottom screen? Could the bottom screen be used for coding (software development)? I want to get one for coding, but not sure if text is too small to read properly on the bottom screen. Thanks.
You can set the scaling of bottom screen differently if text size is your concern.
I get this isnt Supposed to be a gaming laptop but how well does it perform in games? I would get the RoG Z. duo but they're all out of stock and the duo screen is something i think i would REALLY enjoy (I rely on multiple monitors as it is on desktop)
I think it will game pretty well given its performance. But perhaps not the most demanding games or VR.
I am an architect/ photographer and I am debating between this model (with the RTX 3080) and the 16x Pro that released recently. 16x have better specs overall besides the 3060 Graphics card, but the 15 duo has better graphics card and this second screen seems to be advantageous. Any advice you could give me? Thanks!
I have not seen 16x, so I can't say. But 3060 really isn't bad.
hey! since this was posted a month ago, which one did you get and how are you experiencing it?
Have you decided which one will u buy? Also an architecture student
I wish the palm rest has battery in it that can be used to extend the laptop battery power.
Yeah! I'd like that too!
Thank you for ur review, I want to know if I purchase the i7 and 16 gb of ram, can I upgrade to 32gb of ram?
Pls and thank you so much!!
Sorry, I am not sure as I did not open this laptop to check if the ram is soldered on.
In the last 10+ years I've haven't once seen anyone use a laptop on their laps
Have you not been in airport?
It would've been nice if it was a Windows/Chrome or Android combo 🤔🙂.
Hello,I’m an interior designer and I really want to get the rtx3080 laptop for 3D renderings,please do you recommend?…Also I’ve seen a lot of people saying the laptop glitches when you update to windows 11…is there any advice on that and also suggestions…..please reply me I really really need help.
Thankyou!
Windows 11 has issues. I don't think that's the laptop. RTX 3080 would be good for graphics card renderings.
Is the fan noise loud while 4k editing? if it is, is it out of the ordinary?
In general, even on heavy use, the fan noise was really well managed. Idk about sepcificly 4k video editing as I have done one there.
Lol I like the Asian pencil flick 😂😂😂 my mom does that and I do the one around my thumb 😂😂😂 I’ve always wanna learn yours/my moms way but it’s so difficult to me lol
Around the thumb is high risk :)
@@JosephKim when I try it your way, it’s a high risk for people around me 😂😂😂
Zephyrus rtx 3080 16 g vs this one with the same specs.... what do you prefer for 3d modeling?
I have not used zephyrus with 3080, but I feel like I would prefer Zenbook Pro Duo for added functionality.
Do you think this laptop is good for coding working as a software engineer? what about high end game, does it heat too much?
I think software engineer would benefit from simpler laptop and this doesn't have hardware for high-end gaming. You probably want gaming laptop for that.
the laptop is perfect!! i just need to know if it has rbg keyboards? thats a deal breaker for me .
I think it was white only.
@@JosephKim do they have a version like this with rbg? i just wanna be able to make beats and play games on it
@@2famous- I think they have the gaming version of 'Duo' in Zephyrus line.
@@JosephKim does it work as good? for music production?
@@2famous- I'd imagine so, since the specs are somewhat better than Zenbook Pro Duo. I don't know for sure as I have not tested nor aware of much of music production workflows.
Is the wrist rest here magnetic or does it clip onto the laptop? I'd find it super annoying if you just push it up to the laptop.
I don't remember it being magnetically attached, but it did have LED light window.
i recently bought this notebook for work and i already have some issues with it! The secondary screen behaves as a touchpad for the mainscreen . i cannot select anything on the secondary screen without the help of a mouse or the touchpad/numberpad. I made a factory reset 2 days ago and it behaves exactly the same! i made some research regarding this issue but i didn't find anything and anyone talking about something like that. Now i think i have to send it back in service even if i only had it for 15 days. Maybe i made by mistake a hidden command, without knowing it, but i really don't find how to fix it!
Oh no! Have to tried to reach out to Asus about it? There was an option on the Asus's settings to turn the second screen as touchpad.
Is there anyway I can charge the laptop with powerbank?. I tried to search some says 100 watts, some says it does not work. I'm not sure if I should by a 100 w powerbank
Unfortunately, no. Based on my testing, it only took OEM charger and didn't charge via USB-C. Maybe the newer models do, but not for the one I tested.
@@JosephKim thank you for your reply. Appreciate it.
where did you get that wallpaper??
Search, 'Mikael Gustafsson'
i just got mine and its feels choppy and laggy when surfing the web and gets hot quickly for simple things , are you having the same issues??
I was not having such issues although I jo longer have the machine with me.
Is the screen only 60hz or can you lower resolution to 1080p and get more than 60hz? Thanks
It is fixed at 60 unfortunately.
@@JosephKim thanks 🙏
Does the stylus pen work on the trackpad?
No, I don't think so.
Can we turn off the main screen and only use second small screen ?
I am not sure if you can do that. Interesting thought though.
Would you so happen to recommend a type of cooling pad/stand for this? I have this laptop, and one of the things I'm most concerned about is all the heat that the laptop generates.
In the unboxing video, I showed the eveation pad that was included in the box.
@@JosephKim I know, it's just that it's already being unsticky .
do u get a backlit keyboard?
Yes
Is there a quick way to restart this cpu??
Just the CPU? I don't understand.
My new assu zen Qled 4 k 2023
Nice!
Hey, where do I get the laptop stand?
That was included in the box (should be with the purchase)
@@JosephKim Ah, sadly mine didn't come with one. :( Thank you for your time.
@@user-iy6ko1bz4y u threw away?
Screen is 60 hz right? 14 " version is 120n such bummer.
It was 60hz. I prefer 120hz, but I don't mind without if it is for production work.
14 looks smaller to my 41 years old. Yet I love to game. 15 inch looks good enough. 60 hz can't be that bad right?
@@mrbigtime81 it does depend on what kind of game you play, but 60hz is usually fine. Also, if you wanna game, I'd just get different monitor or desktop.
how about temperature idle and heavy load
It was quite well managed. Compared to other laptops, it seem to be cooling very effectively.
@@JosephKim thanks :) is it go to 100c when Heavy load
@@OshadhaMadhumal it didn't on my testing, but I also wasn't just loading it with heavy synthetic test.
@@JosephKim thanks
Only the main screen is OLED. The smaller screen is an IPS display NOT OLED! That is also why the main screen is glossy. Thanks for the video.
Weird, the team at ASUS specifically said that both are OLED since I asked that question.
@@JosephKim that would have been a terrible idea! The secondary screen is meant to have static images and that would have been a disaster for an OLED!
The bottom panel is not OLED. It is IPS.
Are you sure? I've confirmed with the manufacturer that Screen Pad Plus is OLED as well. Maybe it was IPS in the last gen?
My button when you hold the window down that is supposed to pop up is gone. I don’t know what it’s called to fix it! Please help!
Sorry, I'm not sure what you are referring to. Are you talking about the task bar?
Sorry, i’m really bad with computers. Like when you were demonstrating the snap ability of the zenbook by holding down the top of the screen and the 2 buttons would appear for you to easily switch the screen to the bottom monitor. My buttons to do that are not popping up.
@@JosephKim I hope that is easier to understand!
@@lanedunavin68 I think you are talking about Screenpad Plus? I had to look it up too :)
@@JosephKim 13:23 in the video. Your screen shows 2 buttons when you hover on the window. Mine has recently stopped showing those and I can’t figure out why!
Is the battery in-built or detachable?
Built in.
@@JosephKim is it advisable to charge the battery while using the laptop?
You charge whenever you want to. I'd say it doesn't matter.
@@JosephKim ok thanks bro. was just wondering because some says that if we charge the battery while using a laptop, it will shorten the battery life. hahaha! idk. not too sure actually. thanks for the respond.

No Zenbook pro duo laptop in 2023!

Is one handed opening really importNt. Smh? Want to attach a pen to your unit?. Ever hear of velcro?.
It is not really important, but it shows the enginuity and efforts making laptop better. There are some that doesn't have rubber feet and small ledge on the screen for me to have hard time opening with two hands.
Thank you very much for review and response. Hey for the pen just use Velcro and stick pen to side of screen. That's what I'll do. Cheers.
