[@einar5367]

Nice review! Do you think it's suited for CAD drawing? Spesificly Fusion 360? Thanks!

[@TechThusiast]

This laptop is next level

[@GNTECHAE]

Definitely worth checking out for all-rounded productivity on the go!

[@akshatmohabey3204]

This is one device I'm really looking forward to Great video 👍

Hi, the cracking sound from the hinge when opening the laptop does not sound normal. Might be a defect. Mine certainly doesn't have this cracking sound. Just thought of sharing my experience to let you know.

[@duskyroc6417]

yep, definetly a defect!

[@danielacabrera3735]

Do you know if it’s available right now in the USA?? I can’t find it

[@JelmerFPV]

Nice! is it useable as speed for 4k editing?

[@heikofirestormtiger4969]

I think true 4k performance (and 4k screen) is more along the line of the pro duo line. For the full powerhause they have a ROG version of the duo but beware... powerhouse price^^

[@GNTECHAE]

We have edited simple 4K videos on it just fine, and you should be able to do the same! Where it may be a bit slower is when it comes to render times.

[@globalturfwar]

@@GNTECHAE Same here. Been using it with DaVinci Resolve

How it will be for coding and programming

[@VanajVidyan]

Hi! I was looking to buy the 2021 Duo, i5 and 8 gb. I am a law student, so I need to do a lot of typing and Chrome browsing, and need a portable machine. I don't need any video editing or GPU tasks. Could you tell me if- 1) 8gb and i5 would be sufficient for my use; and 2) The keyboard would work for extended typing? Thanks a lot!

[@MooChimp]

I can’t find any models with 32GB of ram to buy ? They all have 16 and only 512gb SSD? Is the 32 GB not generally available? I’m looking to buy one very soon but have the above query bugging me! Great review - Thankyou

[@GNTECHAE]

Hey Sam - thanks for your comment. The retail versions of the device do indeed come with 16GB of RAM and not 32GB. But we have seen retail variants with 1TB of storage like here for instance: amzn.to/2O87F2A

Does the zenbook 14 i7 mx450 lag in photoshop coreldraw Lightroom P. Pro n illustrator?

[@zenking4647]

Great review I am exciting on getting mine.

[@brahyonetta]

Isn't this laptop mainly directed at content creation also having special adobe controls on its 2nd screen!! Yet most reviews don't seem to recommend it for that use. It's so confusing:/

[@Tenjiku9]

The pro version has better graphics card with OLED screen so u can use that one for content creation but it’s starts with £2299+. The versions without “pro” have weak graphics, FHD so good for multitasking with second screen but won’t be able to handle heavy graphics use due to weak card

[@AlexanderTVEducation]

it is on sale for 1000 euros now in Germany. Should I go for it?

[@texsion]

Yes then return it if you don’t like it

[@adonian]

Wow, the webcam honestly isn’t that bad. Can it do windows hello?

[@MarcoChapita]

You're laptop does undead have a defect. My don't do that crack sound when opening the second screen. Is very quiet

[@GNTECHAE]

Thanks Marco, good to know!

[@VanajVidyan]

Hi Marco, Hope you're well! I was looking to buy the 2021 Duo, i5 and 8 gb. I am a law student, so I need to do a lot of typing and Chrome browsing, and need a portable machine.

[@mr_daniel_d]

When will it be launching in Indian market?

[@dhilsiva]

I wanna know too.

[@dhilsiva]

I'm looking for a laptop not more than 1.36 kg in weight for taking it with me wherever I go for video and photo editing. Is this laptop with the second screen a better option for editing purposes considering this is heavier (1.6 kg) than what I'm looking for?

[@DepressedCookie]

The additional screen makes it super useful for editing and productivity, even though it's as heavy as my old macbook pro. I think it's bang for your buck with weight, size and battery life!

[@dhilsiva]

@@DepressedCookie thank you for replying! I'll definitely keep it on my list.

[@dhilsiva]

@@DepressedCookie what are the other laptops you would recommend for video and photo editing that are less heavier than this?

[@DepressedCookie]

@@dhilsiva I'm not really sure to be honest, I have seen good things about the XPS 13 and similar ultrabooks. This one sold me on the overall product offering

[@gottaknojaronamo6158]

Would this laptop be perfect for music production? If so what specs makes this possible or is going for the big brother 15in the best option?

[@pandanda656]

the i5 with 16gb is good enough for medium workflows, suppose you have 10 generator plugins and lets say 20 more effects, but also depends on the plugin u use, some use a lot of cpu but the 4 core i5 could handle that pretty well

[@ravipeiris4388]

If you get the system with 8 gigabytes of system RAM, then you are in trouble as one cannot upgrade it to 16 gigabytes or larger as the system ram in soldered. WTF?

[@ksnmurthy4476]

Dobyo think it's fantastic value? I don't think so. I bought it. But using this laptop gives you pain in your wrist. It's not convenient to use. You need wrist rest pad. You can't use on lap. It gives markings on your thighs. As it is matt finiwh, the screen is not bright. Using he control panel with Lightroom is also limited tools available. Others you have to resort to pen and ususal panel on the side. Not comfortable to use. Since 3 weeks i am using this laptop , sorry it's a desktop, as you can't use on lap. The dual panel is distracting. Not worth it. The photos also look dull on this screen. Any solution you suggest?

[@muddukrishna503]

if a dedicated MX 450 GPU is chosen would it be DDR5 or DDR6 ?

[@GNTECHAE]

It would be with 2GB of GDDR6 memory!

[@stevenphan4654]

The cracking sound on opening the hinge is abnormal. I returned mine for a replacement, which did not generate the cracking sound on opening the hinge.

[@GNTECHAE]

Good to know, thanks for that!

[@stevenphan4654]

@@VanajVidyan Those specs are definitely enough for your use case. I actually really like the keyboard on this laptop and have no issues with it. The only thing is that I find that I use the dual screen much less than I thought I would.

[@Shubhsp]

when it will be available in India?

[@GNTECHAE]

We are currently not sure about its availability in India but in the UAE, it is on sale starting at Dh5,999.

[@vishalsharma-wj5hr]

This laptop is good for animation?

[@GNTECHAE]

We think you may want to go for something with a dedicated GPU for animation!

[@omaralsuwaidi3748]

Where can I buy in UAE

Just bought one - office is very jealous ;)

@@VanajVidyan Hi I have no problems with typing at all but it is subjective. I can't talk for the i5 but I'm sure it is fine for word processing and browsing. I love the one I have.

hello! does this model support two external monitors? I want the included second display when I am in the move. But when I am at my desk I want to use it with my two external monitors setup. I will be really helpful if you can give an answer.

[@DepressedCookie]

It does seem to handle external monitors just fine - like you would expect windows to handle it
