[@sherwinhugo]

I've been looking for a very thorough gaming review for this laptop, and I was glad to have stumbled on this! It didn't appear in my initial search, but it appeared in my homepage after 2 days of watching whatever videos about the Zenbook Duo 2024. I knew that CPU-wise and RAM-wise, it's a good laptop, but I was really curious on the gaming aspect (since I play milder games like DoTA 2, Valorant, and occasionally Satisfactory). I wonder when will these integrated graphics get as good as the lower end dedicated ones from a few years back. When it does, it'll really fulfill my dream of a thin and light, portable, functional, (+gimicky) and productivity-oriented laptop. This is getting quite close and I might look into this if they refresh it next year or the next to replace my XPS 15 9500 now. Thank you for the informative video!

[@Techtablets]

Glad I could help!

[@Hagemann666]

I'm typing my response on this very laptop. I've had it for a week now and I'm actually pretty blown away at all that I got for the $$. You mentioned it was 2500 euros but I didn't pay anywhere near that here in the states. I got the tricked out model from B&H Photo (same price at CDW) for 1585.00 euros ($1699.99 USD). I don't know if the price has come down significantly or if it's just more expensive wherever you got this (Australia? UK?) Excellent review. Very thorough. My experience has been exactly as your review states. An amazing amount of horsepower, features, and utility for $1700 USD.

[@Techtablets]

Great to hear that, yes I think it's an amazing laptop especially with that dual screen for using with video editing has been amazing for me. As for the price it's what I was given for the top spec model 9 185H and max storage but it seems they dropped that pricing very quickly which is just as well. Great price you got!

[@HANDSOMELOME]

Love mine,185h with 32gb ram.I upgraded the ssd to 4tb though as i wasn't getting 5k read or write speeds like you.I went with the silicon power 4tb us75 m.2 2280 ssd.I got 7077read and 6497 write speeds,sequential was the same.Loving it!

[@Techtablets]

Nice! Was it hard to upgrade it?

[@HANDSOMELOME]

@@Techtablets I haven't did anything like that in a while.I gathered up the nerve then watched the teardown video.Seems like a lot but take your time,it took a while to boot back up though.

[@JASCancerDoc]

I just received mine. I bought the I9 version with 32GB. Last year I bought the Lenovo. Compared to the ASUS, last years Lenovo was slow with a low powered CPU and less memory and SSD size. THis one is a huge improvement. I am not a gamer but I use my laptops for stock trading and analysis. THe extra monior on the road is a huge win. Not using a handicapped CPU is a big win. Having a small lightweight charger for a road warrior is incredible.

[@Techtablets]

Great you like it. Yes for working that extra screen is amazing really good for.my video editing. Overall such an amazing machine.

I also consider buying it for trading on the road, do you like it so fare?

[@JASCancerDoc]

Yes. Actually am in air right now and was trading using Delta WiFi and the multi monitors. I am pleasantly surprised by the performance and all my trading programs work fine.

[@DanielKuhnen]

Nice review! Do you know many external monitors can I connect using a Thunderbolt 4 dock + the HDMI out?

[@kwameryan]

top notch review! thanks. Is the stylus included in that model??

[@Techtablets]

Thanks. No it wasn't included with mine sold separately.

[@feklee]

Thank you very much for the review, also for testing Linux compatibility! Regarding the M.2 SSD: Is it 2280 form factor? (I cannot do with less than 4TB, so would need to upgrade this.)

[@Techtablets]

Yes it's 2280 and it requires opening it and flipping the motherboard over but I can be upgraded up to 8TB.

[@feklee]

Can you close and carry the unit without the included keyboard? (What I like about tablets is that I can use my own keyboard.)

[@Techtablets]

Yes you can do that no problem.

At the 8:36 mark, can this configuration be used to display two pages of sheet music simultaneously and then turn two pages at a time? What software/settings would you use to do this? This would be a great setup for musicians.

The only one who answered all my questions. Can i run adobe 2 screen and can i have screen the keyboard. Thank you good sir. Now can you do both at same time. Full screen preview up top and then half screen digital key board and other half screen the time line in adobe

[@amiyanath7848]

How's the display in terms of eye comfort?? Does it control the brightness by pwm dimming?

[@Techtablets]

It uses PWM but I'm not sure of the rate in Hz however I've seen no flickering.

[@Techtablets]

Not sure sorry on when it will hit India

[@deltax7159]

this thing has EVERYTHING I am looking for. 32GB RAM, and 2 TB SSD. New core ultra chips, icing on the cake is dual screen. now if the battery life can double what I get with my surface pro 7 I will be buying one. I currently get about 4 hours of life on battery with my SP7. I usually has either VScode, or Rstudio open, along with email, youtube, google search, and claude3,gpt3.5, and/or gemini. I love my SP7 but the battery life really kills me. I have to bring my charger and a power brick with me wherever I go because of battery anxiety.

[@Techtablets]

Well light work and the screen (just one) at 30% it's 10 hours so really good. But using both screens at 3k 120hz it's half that. But that charger is tiny so not really a big issue to take it with you.

[@WhistleblowerMovement]

Would you worry about heat reduce lifespan of lower OLED display?

[@GoTeamScotch]

I've been using a Gigabyte Aero since 2019 (upgraded to newer model in 2020) and this laptop is very interesting to me as my next upgrade. The only thing that's missing is a dedicated GPU. I personally am not looking for a super-small laptop so I'd be willing to trade some weight and thickness for something that has a massively better GPU. My laptop has an RTX 3070 in it that can run Red Dead 2 at 4K and it plays great. For this, I wouldn't be opposed to docking to an external GPU, but that's a cost I'd like to avoid. Still though, the dual screen and the way Asus put it all together looks very compelling. Will definitely consider this one.

[@endibobey]

Thanks for the video. 4 questions: 1) Is there fingerprint sensor? 2) Does it have a pen? 3) Can to keyboard connect to two laptops via Bluetooth say Asus Dou and Surface Pro? 4) Is there a mechanical shut off switch for the cam? Thank you.

[@CHarmsXL]

Saw this only now. It appears to be cheaper in Italy and Germany than 2500 € as mentioned in the video. Where did you get this price from? And have any of you seen it for an even better price by now?

[@gurugamer8632]

When is it coming out ?

[@BIGBASSSAMA_4]

Why didn't they make the middle screen flexible like the galaxy z5 fold?

[@Techtablets]

I guess due to a few factors like the cost, engineering required for the hinge and maybe the reliability of a flexible OLED. I know other brands are releasing now flexible OLED laptops so it's only a matter of time before Asus dies the same I would think.

[@ashkanhassani]

How is the pen responsiveness? Would it work for taking notes? How about drawing?

[@Techtablets]

I tested it at CES it's very responsive and designed for drawing and writing. But I didn't get one with this unit.

[@homidjohn]

Would you say that the *Core Ultra 7* variant would a better pick for long-term battery health and heat management? considering the lesser-resolution screen and less-intensive chip on the base model that should perhaps take a lesser toll on the battery and system. And do you know if there's a way to switch it to Windows 11 Pro? Their site says that that's what ASUS recommends but they don't seem to give you an option to do it.

[@Techtablets]

The chipset would make much of a difference to battery life but the lower Res screens definitely would give battery life improvements over the top spec model here.

[@Techtablets]

Okay the easy way to get windows 11 Pro is to upgrade from home and it downloads what it needs.

[@fahadm2852]

But u didn’t say how to present the touch keyboard???

[@novacombatarts]

Can you upgrade the storage?

[@bluetech2809]

Is there something wrong with the Arc GPU driver or the wattage perhaps? This Core Ultra 9 should be stronger than the Core Ultra 7 which (correct me if I'm wrong) seems to perform similar to the mobile Ryzen 78XX APUs. edit: I just went back and checked some other vids and it looks like the 7840HS (etc) outperforms these Core Ultra chips, but still it seems a bit too low.

[@Techtablets]

Hi, it's more drivers I think as the tomb raider performance was good as was 3DMark but then in most games the Radeon 780M still seems to come out on top.

[@chairwood]

thx for testing linux support

[@Hullwood]

In the US the website says that the model with the Ultra 9, 32GB RAM, and 1TB storage only costs $1699 USD. That's far off of the $2700 or so you were talking about. Does that make your opinion on price any different?

[@pokepokepoke64]

It’s an insane deal

[@Steger13]

How come you didn't get the pen? I see other reviews they got the pen too.

[@KevinBenjaminMusic]

As a photographer and hobby musician this would be awesome Having the mixer on the top and other Software on the bottom Im just afraid its not powerful enough for audio production and high res photo work

[@Funintherain13]

should be fine for that

[@MrSwaggernaut83]

Sorta disagree regarding the price. It keeps getting brought up when comparing the price to other normal laptop, but this thing has to include a whole extra high res OLED panel, as well as the extra complexity of a detachable and standalone keyboard/trackpad. Honestly I've been impressed with the price they can sell these at, the Ultra 7 spec is $1500 which feels fair

[@Digitalmedia4less]

Wish it would have come with an NVME M2 storage slot to upgrade storage for the price. But it's still an awesome laptop. I'm seriously thinking about getting one.

[@deltax7159]

Great review but i'd like to correct you on gaming performance aspect if people really would want to on this. i got the Zenbook Duo 2024 120hz oled, ultra 7 155H & 16GB version. In the asus system setting app i put 8gb allocation to the arc GPU & the fan speed option to performance mode with the AC power and was able to really play all current games on high setting with few tweaks in graphics setting of the games including cyberpunk 2077 on high settings with ray tracing off. Quite impressive tbh. Having a 65W powerbank with me i actually don't have any issues with this lol

[@Techtablets]

Hi, okay great to know I just reviewed it with stock ram settings I didn't tweak up the allocated RAM or anything like that but I did use performance mode of course. Such s cool laptop I really like it!

The manufacturer himself can not imagine the bussines use cases and so it is important that they should go through the suggestion opinion and overall user experience. Fantastic reviews.

[@MyurrDurr]

What about Fedora Linux? That tends to have a lot better Hardware Support than Manjaro

[@Techtablets]

I'll have to test that distro out soon. There is also the issue of all the software specifically for it that's only available in windows. All the My Asus stuff with many tweets etc like screen and battery care (charge to 80% only) With Linux we miss out on that unfortunately.

[@MyurrDurr]

True true ;-; But Fedora uses GNOME desktop which automatically opens a virtual keyboard when you tap a text box, if it detects you are in tablet mode on your laptop :D and Linux is well able to handle more than one display, just may need to set it not to mirror it by default!@@TechtabletsEDIT: There are ways to put a charge limit in place on Linux, but those solutions often require a bit of terminal command action! but totally possible

@@Techtablets the battery is an issue to say the least the screen burn in is not noticable after 4 years on my brother's s20+ but I've replaced the screen twice on my phone so it's as good as new lol, I mainly use dex for lectures with a usb-c to HDMI cable I used to use it on my tab s5e back when I had no pc but I have a desktop pc so I've rarely used it, but my standards just not allow me to buy something coming out in 2024 with no headphone jack no removable storage or no desktop mod these chips are too powerful to be used for doom scrolling and those cameras are way too high resolution to throw the ludicrous amount of photos I take of nature (5 takes on average per shot) on the device's storage I want to access them and I want to access them fast and nothing is faster than physically moving them since Samsung refuses to use newer standards of USB (we are on usb 4 now btw) and because USB SUCKS and is goofy when it come to transfer speeds it's sad to see self deprecated e-waste after e-waste coming out from all companies Sony included and you have to pick your poison with either the best software but unusable hardware (Samsung) or the best hardware but unusable software (Sony) I'm never buying a new phone because I refuse to give any company my money anymore since they don't deserve it

I dont even think about garbage Apple 💩 made devices

Ah okay haha

[@manfa]

Yeh. Doesn’t make any sense to compare with apple different products in every perspective

[@Techtablets]

Sure thing I removed that.

Gpu cant even handle smooth 1080P games is very dissapointing.. why intel even bother with ARC. Shitshow

[@Techtablets]

Yeah Radeon 780M is still better but in benchmarks like 3DMark the Arc scored better but in real life games the 780M gets better FPS.

[@oddbutfair8852]

I enjoy TechTablets reviews! But hate the anti-Apple toxicity. This device literally has nothing to do with Apple lmao. My iPad runs sidecar just fine thanks^^ If it doesn’t run MacOS it’s not a replacement. This literally only competes with other windows devices. Why can’t Android/ windows users just like the device for what it is. Why are you always thinking about the other girl lmao? That title only appeals to insecure window users who want reassurance that they are superior. I dislike this side of TechTablets.

[@Techtablets]

It's just a title :) I'll no doubt change it soon but I don't see how it's toxic? Thanks for the support and watching!

[@oddbutfair8852]

@@Techtablets If not toxic, then divisive. “Us vs Them” just keep in mind Apple fans enjoy your videos too, and we don’t always enjoy you or LinusTechTips, Louis Rossmann, JerryRigEverything, calling people who buy Apples products stupid for enjoying what it is Apple offers. Let alone government bodies implementing changes to try and make IOS more like Android. Imaging if they tried locking down Android. I could give ecological, optimization and security reason to do it as well, but would never encourage anyone losing choice or say in the products they bought and the company they supported.

[@dawgcanjumphigh]

I'd get that thing. You can just hook up a Razer Core on it and slap on a RTX 4080 card for more graphics performance for video editing. Just put 32GB of RAM on this thing, it'll just fly through video editing and multitasking. Have you tried 4K60 on that without the Razer Core? Its a lot harder on the system than 30fps is.

[@Techtablets]

Hi, well it has 32gb of ram my config. Yes 4k60 seems to be okay not as smooth as 4k39 but doable. Much better than the old iris xe.
