Got this a month ago and due to the nature of my work as a consultant I usually multi-task with Microsoft office apps (Excel, Powerpoint, word, etc), and I've been using dual monitors for a long time. Having a laptop that can easily snap into dual monitors on the run while maintaing a good battery life and performance is honestly a dream come true. This thing is ahead of its time

[@FlavortownFreddy]

Definitely getting one. Where 1000+ on smartphones is normal these days and 1500+ on foldable phones, 1499 seems like a price I would happily consider.

[@sh4unity204]

i got my zenbook duo 2024 120hz oled, ultra 7 155H & 16gb ram few days ago.. 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 play all games on high setting with few tweaks in graphics setting of the games which i couldn't believe an intel laptop without RTX could ever do lol

[@jco7651]

This will help me so much with wfh. I honestly can't believe someone didn't do this sooner.

[@TheOneInYellow]

I got my wonderful Asus Zenbook 14x UX5401ZAS (ISS Space station edition) back in Dec '22, but now I REALLY want the new Asus Zenbook Duo!

[@MyNaday]

Thanks for your comprehensive review and recommendation. This is my next laptop!

[@SuperSaf]

Good choice!

[@user-cb2tv3ee3o]

I just bought in directly from the Asus web shop, few things to point out, in France you don't get the bag, the sleeve and the pen. You have the computer, with the keyboard of course, and the cardboard origami style stand (I just think it's useless tho). The bought the intel core 9 version, thinking it will come with win11 pro, (who in the world would need a i9 in a family environment? I don't get it), anyway it's an easy upgrade but be aware (the web shop is a bit confusing). Now for the laptop, it is genuinely the best I have ever used, every thing is top notch, the screens I read somewhere they are pantone certified, not sure tho, but the touchscreen is perfect, the double screen combo is the main feature, included stand make it very easy to setup quickly, I have several workplaces so this is the device I didn't know I needed. The build quality is solid, every thing feels and looks top notch. A bit disappointed by the lack of accessories included in my region but can't to any thing about it really. Can't recommend enough tho

[@DanielKuhnen]

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

[@sebkeccu4546]

With mirror mode, you look at the ceillinglights reflection :-) Tent mode is better for screen sharing(cloning) and tent mode allows you to use it on the couch or bed without suffocating the vents. Apart from that it is just the best laptop ever brought out. No compromises. There is no better laptop. I also don't see any reason anymore for bigger laptops (15/16/17/18 inch), it's a real game changer. Can you imagine this laptop with thunderbolt 5 to connect a geforce 4090 super eGPU ?

[@bladescavenger]

Great video!! I'm considering getting one, do you think this could handle heavy lightroom/photoshop? If not any model recommendation for 14-16" laptop that's good for those 2 programs.

[@renovatio6971]

I'LL GET ONE... CAN'T WAIT FOR IT

[@steveellsworth2547]

My concern is that stand. It is built in....great. How about when you go side by side. We were not shown that implementation. Also, when/if you close the laptop without having the keyboard attached could be a bad day. We were told about the on-screen keyboard. If we cannot go anywhere without the onscreen keyboard, then why is it present. I have used the Lenovo offering from last year. That was really well done. The only drawback to that laptop were the 60hz screens, but they were OLED.

[@Psyduck1989]

sharing mode can be control from both side?

[@dlynch8668]

This is exactly what I was wanting when I was griping about the possibilities of laptop ergonomics the other day! Would appreciate one with a dedicated graphics card for 3D work

[@petepaxton5109]

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

I have an external monitor 3440x1440; 21:9; 160Hz; 2xHDMI; 1xDP and my fear is purchasing it and it not working here on my monitor when there is a need to use it thanks for helping.

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.

I'm sure they will all come out with such device, because it's a revolution. Lenovo yoga 9i also had such configuration but there were a lot of problems with it (keyboard was sometimes sliding while typing, no backlit keyboard (unusable in the dark), the keyboard had to be carried seperatly, and it didn't have a USB A or HDMI port.

[@adskee69]

Just bought a Yoga Book 9i and love it. This is a great implementation to have a full size keyboard and keep it in one package. Only downside is it looks very, very thick compared to the Lenovo.

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

I hope you bought the 2024 Yoga Book 9i refresh which has the new Intel chips. It was just announced at CES 2024.

[@adskee69]

@@PSYCHOV3N0M you hope I already bought the new version that was announced a few days ago and isn't available to purchase until April? Well, no. No I didn't. I don't really care that much about chips and specs and benchmarks so am not too concerned though. Might given the Asus a look in April when it's refresh time though.

[@sebkeccu4546]

Don't forget that the comparisson is not fair, because with the lenovo 9i you don't have a keyboard. If you put the keypboard on top it will be thicker...I also don't like that keyboard (no backlit illumination, and sometimes the magnets don't hold well, which makes the keyboard slide a bit) On top of that, this laptop has a full HDMI and USB A port, which proably also causes it to be a bit thicker. Lastly the lenovo is 2 x 13.3 screens, while the asus has 2 x 14 inch (more screen estate), I just purchased the asus duo for 2100 euros (core ultra 9 185H, 32GB ram, 3K OLEDS) , it's already available in europe and not expensive (+ you get a pen, a backpack, and transport sleeve which doubles as a stand). How much did you pay for the lenovo?

[@adskee69]

@@sebkeccu4546 these are all good points. The ASUS definitely isn't as nice from a design standpoint, but it does tick a lot of boxes as you've described and I'll have to check it out once its launched. Or since I've only had the Lenovo for a month, maybe skip this and buy the next gen.
