A device at CES that's reasonably priced and actually useful? What is this world coming to

[@vzx13]

finally, a reasonable future

[@004x0]

2k euros?

[@ZhoomTheCool]

​@@004x0 yeah in the usa its 1500 dollars (1300 euros) but in europe it costs 2500 euros idk why

[@awakenedcrowl]

Okay, if this thing is seriously just 1.500,00 bucks, this is INSANE. I was already super pumped for the Lenovo Dual Screen Laptop, but it still costs more than 2.000 bucks for MUCH WORSE specs, I just couldn't justify that thing to myself. But if this thing really launches at that price... I am so taking the plunge!

[@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

Now if only it were Ryzen....

[@anibration]

I read that as 1.5 million dollars instead of 1,500 dollars lol

[@rowaystarco]

At least its with the new Intel chips, that seem to be a bit of a step up over previous ones.@@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep

[@CricketEngland]

I can be configured up to 32gb DDR5, 2TB SSD and Up to Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 processor with NPU

[@StuartGelin]

I completely agree with Austin's last sentence. I've never been that interested in the dual screen laptops or even touch screen laptops at all because for me the laptop form factor just works really well but this genuinely looks really fantastic and if it does come out with that $1,500 price tag I might be tempted to buy my first Windows computer in a while.

[@RK-um9tu]

Windows has 80% laptop market share AND 99.9% of small business, corporations, educaitonal institutions, government agencies, and nonprofit across the planet use Windows laptops. So Intel and Microsoft don't really care about you or Austin's out-of-touch opinions...

[@YourDadYoda]

I hope more companies make a laptops like this, it’s a fantastic innovation and it’s be great to have something like this for different ecosystems.

[@TheLinkhawkins]

The phone that was built like this is really good too

[@TheLinkhawkins]

@@PSYCHOV3N0M Sadly yes, but I still love the phone and the form factor of it. Hopefully someone picks up this form factor again in the years to come.

[@magicmystery4211]

Considering there are $1200-1500 phone, here we are getting laptop on that price is really a good deal.

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

That's because this laptop is NOT a foldable laptop like the Asus Zenbook 17 Fold which costs $3,500 MSRP. 🤣🤣🤣

[@pipebomber04]

I am a radiologist. This is perfect for giving initial readings on the go. Alternatives: laptop and external monitor. Suggestions for improvement: maybe a horizontal fold would be more functional. Please correlate clinically.

[@BrycefromNebraska]

"Please correlate clinically" hahaha

[@Windows2000K]

I wanna see someone emulate DS or 3DS games on this.

[@Chris-db5gy]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@petepaxton5109]

I can see myself using this at the office or at home when I want a second screen. The thing for me is that I have a dual screen setup with a separate monitor at home and at my office. My second screen is 27 inches. So I don't know where this might fit in with me personally. I would probably use it in normal laptop mode on a plane or in a coffee shop. This is why I love my Zenbook Duo with an extra half screen. It's always in regular laptop mode and yet I always have a second screen. But for content creators, I can see this being awesome.

[@naseeb46]

I would really love this laptop. The lenovo one didn't interest me too nuch because of the lack of trackpad and the stand is different. But this, this has everything built-in. I can use it whenever I want to as a normal laptop and when I am at my desk at work, I can go dual screen.

[@1Aralan]

Well, as for the downsides, the hinge cannot be folded 360º (only 180º), so it cannot be used in tablet mode (for those of us who work standing and on the move with a computer, it's not suitable) or tent mode. Additionally, the sound from the speakers is quite shoddy, and when it's in book mode, the two screens are unbalanced, as it leans more on one side than the other. In that regard, the rear stand (although it assembles faster - 5 seconds faster - compared to the origami stand of the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i) is quite inferior. Besides, the Asus is a bit of a monstrosity in height, with a keyboard or without, and quite ugly (comparatively speaking). In landscape mode, the top screen vibrates too much when tapping it with fingers. I'm afraid the hinge is weaker than the Lenovo one. Regarding the keyboard, it is good and comes with a trackpad. This didn't matter much to me with the Lenovo (that the keyboard came without a trackpad) because, firstly, it could be placed on the lower screen, and a total trackpad from side to side appeared. If I buy a touchscreen, it's because fingers do everything the trackpad does better and faster. On the contrary, Asus screens are 14" instead of 13.3", with an option for 3K. On the small screens above the virtual keyboard, there are more application options; it has more connectivity (with HDMI, USB-A, and Jack, which Lenovo doesn't have, and personally, I haven't used for a long time as cables tangled and bothered me), and the processor is faster (although the new Lenovo Yoga Book 9i from CES 2024 has already matched it), as well as memory and storage options. In Spain, for now, there is only one pre-order option for €2599 (32GB of memory and 2TB SSD with a 3K resolution), although it seems that more economical options will be available (lower screen resolution, less memory, and less SSD). I see the Lenovo more for students, teachers, multimedia consumption, office work, and browsing, while the ASUS is more for design, gaming, video editing, and some professional tasks. As always, each person should think about what they want a computer for and choose accordingly.

[@C_C-]

Kinda neat, especially with the kickstand. Wish you could adjust the hinge down when the keyboard isn't there

[@Adam1llion]

I was not interested in this laptop until you made the virtual keyboard pop up lol that was actually really cool lookin to me. Gave me Tony Stark vibes. A glass future.

[@CricketEngland]

Yes but uses more battery

[@pauldeshield]

Ken is genius for that coffee shop setup

[@ThePanacon]

The moment when Austin took it out of the cardboard box I thought he unboxed a PS4 😂

[@KennethJames7273]

Asus is pushing this new laptop pretty hard. I also saw a product review from Linus (LTT) and Lew Later - all within a day or so.

[@superdude516]

It's because embargoes usually ends at the same time

[@justSTUMBLEDupon]

5:28 Yooooo smart man! Oh I’m definitely getting this now. Looks like a nice travel laptop as long as you know you can plug it in somewhere or bring a large charge pack. Trading stocks on this, coding, working on wed sites, blogging, and some photo editing. This would be awesome!

[@shahinhaque95]

Can you believe this is cheaper than the galaxy fold 5, that's wild

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

How the fuck is that wild?? This is a DUAL-SCREEN laptop. NOT a foldable laptop like the Asus Zenbook 17 Fold. 🤣🤣🤣

[@shahinhaque95]

@@PSYCHOV3N0M I'm not comparing the Asus Zenbook 17 Fold.... I'm saying that a dual screen laptop, which is much larger and more powerful, is cheaper than the SAMSUNG galaxy fold 5 phone (Which is so much smaller).

[Slams on desk] "I need to be careful with this". Are you trying to channel Linus?

[@swiss_crypto6596]

Only Thing I do not get is why not make it 360degree foldable? The setup is perfect for it and it would turn it from a really great laptop idea to an immediate buy for me. having 2 touch screens that I can use in pyramid mode or even tablet mode would be perfect, for work as well (i.e. showing something to a colleague when no screen is available or even F2F co-working on something...) Maybe 2025 😢

I think the base price at 1500 is much better with lower resolution knowing both model has integrated gpus.

[@dqkneely9803]

I want them to take it a step further. detachable screens! connected by pins with a Bluetooth screen. we already know it's coming, hopefully they are working on it already. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST FOLKS!!!

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

Lenovo just announced a NON dual-screen hybrid laptop that has a detachable screen. The screen part is a full Android tablet with a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. The keyboard part is a full Windows laptop with the latest Intel Ultra chips.

[@user-jj1px8li9g]

[@gabrielgingras814]

There's an embargo set by Azus.

[@_Tree]

That laptop is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 If I didn't have a gaming PC, I'd buy that

[@NomanJohan]

This is gonna sell out super fast

[@GearWave]

Thx for sharing.....just picked up this and the Yoga Book. The Yaga book displays looked better to me. Plus the monotony of the ALL black color scheme just killed it for me. The Yoga Book looks much nicer in the polished blue. I love Asus but the Duo looks like every other black laptop on the market. Lol......this a slightly different concept and one that Lennovo should highlight aesthetically.

[@ScotttheCyborg]

I take a second screen when I travel, and many hotels have tiny desks so it's a problem to use. This completely solves the problem. I kinda wish the monitors would separate so I could draw on one while using the laptop, but I'ma gonna just shut up about that because it's already DAYAM! I got a 2021 Zephyrus G14 that I thought would last me 5 years, but I might get this. I just built a new gaming desktop so I dedicated the G14 to business so I don't need it for gaming, which it did OK (Starfield played very well on medium settings, which I attribute to only 6GB RAM on the 3060). I'd definitely find a way to buy this, especially 32GB RAM. The 16GB in the G14 is sometimes insufficient, and with 8GB soldered in, raising it above 16GB means losing dual channel for at least part of it, negating much of the benefit of more.

I'm convinced this is the future of laptops

[@Zantsak]

This makes the Lenovo 9i look badly conceptualized. Great review.

[@tergish1]

I’m here for the detachable keyboard, since it can double as a screen guard, but my big question is, can it be flipped upside down? Like, if you break one screen, and that screen is no longer usable, can you just put the keyboard on whichever screen you use, and it regains full functionality as a standard laptop

[@MrRoomba2321]

That's a nice idea but it probably wouldn't work, mainly due to all the weight likely being on the bottom side and the fact that there's no connection pins on the top screen.

[@aoe02232]

That would be cool but it seems that there’s a connector that connects to kb on only one of screen

[@tergish1]

@@aoe02232 yeaaah :-/ after watching the video, I’m still super interested, but I feel like that would be that one extra step to make this laptop truly incredible

[@TropicalCyc]

breaking your screen is very unlikely though? What your asking for is a non-issue since you just have the same issue with normal laptops. Most people would just repair their laptop if one screen breaks.

[@tergish1]

@@TropicalCyc sometimes screens die. Or get burn in. Specifically with oleds. I bought a Samsung note 4 that had a website’s burnt into the screen. Forever.

[@DiyintheGhetto]

[@MrRoomba2321]

Seems pretty good for the price, although I would like to know if it can run CAD programs well like Fusion360, Solidworks or Blender. If it can run that stuff smoothly with a couple other programs in the background like youtube and Teamspeak i'm sold. One other thing that would super nice if it's implemented, would be the ability to plug in a mouse to the usb c port of the keyboard while it is in wireless mode, maybe with a usb c splitter to allow you to charge the board while using a mouse.

[@lucasb409]

Its got ARC graphics which do have ray tracing capabilities. Probably not the best as a rendering unit vs traditional desktops and more powerful laptops. I would like to see performance tests!

[@GreasyFox]

Asus could adopt Frore Systems's Airjet cooling to cramp more powerful hardware in this laptop, as for the OLED screen, it is an ideal for content creators to showcase their works.

[@ne1711]

1500$ for this is absolutely insane, how with 2 screens it is 1500. I would love to have one in BD. But if it comes in Bd it will be at least 4000$ by startech and Ryan.
