What do you guys think of the new look of the ASUS Zenboook Duo?

[@sosachi1]

Gltchy garbage with no use, to be honest

[@isabaig6665]

If it gets a 360 hinge and pen support it would be perfect. Then again it is thicker than the yoga so maybe not 360. Still pen support is great.

[@josephle2381]

@@sosachi1 No use to you but not to other people. This can become handy for those doing creative work. The world doesn’t revolve around you🤦‍♂️

[@deltax7159]

@@sosachi1 this is just an engineering sample, and the drivers are not quite where they will be when this is released to the public for purchase. I imagine it will be much less glitchy in terms of charging orientation and use case, be it just using the top display with keyboard like a normal laptop or pulling away the keyboard and using both displays.

[@Filokalee999]

Missing NVidia GPU, as it was available in previous Zenbook Pro Duo laptops. Not sure how Intel Arc plays out for 3D applications and games

[@bryans8656]

This laptop would be perfect for business travel. I can picture having virtual meetings on one screen and the documents on the other.

[@fpl_bailey]

this is it, this is the design i have been waiting for. Traders around the world rejoice!

[@danieljamesfarquharson8421]

Brooo you and me have the same idea 😂

[@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

[@omegaturk2436]

Dang, very tempting now as I had reservations with the previous reservation with the folio bit.

[@skipper63400]

The best review till now of this laptop. Thanks Matt. Very tempting. I am always using multi monitor setups. I am with the LG Gram 16 and the LG portable monitor for light work, I use 3 portable monitors in total when travelling and I am too used to the 16inch screens now. Still looks an amazing product.

Can you leave the keyboard at home and fold it up to take it with you or does it leave a big gap between?

Can you leave the keyboard at home and just fold it up or does that leave a big gap?

[@hoimanwong5240]

Hi, can the 2 screens work as 1 large screen in portrait desktop mode? e.g. showing one very wide excel file across the 2 screens vertically?

[@RemofRenaissance]

Thanks for this post 👍🏾. I’d love a dual screen machine and my thoughts are this looks very polished, great screen size and a competitive price. However I like the clean look and teal colour of the Yoga Book 9i. I think the sensible decision would be to take better value with the Asus but Lenovo’s take looks so sleek. Great time for mobile tech at the moment. I was a Big Mac person but love the creativity a lot of windows devices are bringing.

[@steelsheen]

OMGOMGOMG 🤩 Asus has now come up with their answer to the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i 😁👍, I am soooo looking forward to this Matt 😍. 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. Thanks for linking us the Asus site, I'm pouring over the Tech Specs now. btw, can you give us your initial feedback on this dual screen Asus versus the Lenovo version? I'm keen on your perspective spesh you now handled both and I'd like to hear your pros/ cons in both (even if just an overview since the Asus version is still pre-Prod)

[@sebkeccu4546]

In my opinion it is even better. 14 inch Vs 13 inch.illuminated keyboard. Accessoires are in the laptop Vs having extra external accessories . Much better CPU,GPU and 32gb ram. The only thing Lenovo has better: tent mode and upfiring speakers towards the user.(and Atmos). Asus speakers send noise from the back, which is strange when using the dual mode. Your friends in front of you will hear sounds louder then you...

[@TakingShapeCreations]

This is PERFECT for trading. MT5 and Tradingview on either screen.

[@st4rlingstar]

Came here for the same reason :) Looking to maybe get this one when it comes out.

[@TakingShapeCreations]

@@st4rlingstar I also like the new Dell XPS 14. I'm currently using the 2022 13" Dell XPS 9315, but this ASUS DUO is calling me. Sometimes you just need an extra trading screen for NAS and SPX. I don't game or do nothing much but trading watching a few videos and browsing so the specs don't really matter, it just needs to execute my trades fast and scroll the charts fast.

[@donnellbryan3265]

[@IsaacFromHK]

I wonder if the new iGPU is good enough for video editing unless you have lots After Effects?

[@stumblepro1000]

Can you read a book in portrait mode? (One page on the left, the following page on the right)

[@choboutube]

So same guts as the MSI Claw? I have the YB9i and haven't used it much as I haven't travelled much. I have a Uperfect 4K lapdock that I've tried using to give me three monitors (leaving the lenovo keyboard behind). Nice to see the different strategy used by Asus, price is also good too.

[@iosdeals]

this would basically mirror my desktop setup with 2 stacked displays on the go. I have a mobile 15" external display, but for years I was single-screen guy, as I could never find it in me to have screens side by side, it was distracting, uncomfortable. If I don't have to lug around additional stand to prop up the external display on top of the laptop, and have the same workflow when I am working from a hotel room or some random office, that would be worth to try this one, even though I and Asus don't seem to go along. So far every single Asus product failed me, 2 laptops and 1 monitor in the past 4-5 years, all went back under warranty within 2 to 6 months. That's also the reason why I didn't try the previous letterbox zen duo laptops, however tempting it was.

[@RK-um9tu]

I have never had aproblem with any ASUS product. My guess you are just making stuff up...

[@merouanebenderradji1582]

I think someone should do a video about the difference in performance between the low pwered ram LPDDR5 and the normal one DDR5 to see what we are missing with it

[@positivite4961]

The ASUS Zenbook DUO and Rog Zephyrus G16 were the first laptop I wanted in the past and now that I am looking for a laptop and that they made a 2024 version I am so hype however I can't decide which one to take now especially since I am going to use the laptop both when I use it to run the rog swift oled pg32ucdm and I will go to my grandparent I plan to also use it for digital art so a 2.5k and 6k (3k each) is awesome but then there is also the g16 with the 240hz and since I always played on low fps and on 60hz I really don't know which one to pick either way the one that I get I will go for a max spec any suggestions for now?

[@phenojose]

How do share screens and make both screens become one view. Thanks

[@tomalexander4327]

I cannot escape from this laptop

[@neamashenavar1828]

Should I keep my alienware x17r2, 32gb ram, qhd 17.3 inch screen, 3070ti nividia dGPU or sell it and get this 2024 dual screen zenbook with only iGPU, I dont really need the dGPU on the x17r2 and this duo 2024 looks great for productivity, writing and media consumption?

[@DaiBach99]

Nice. Can the stand's angle be adjusted?

[@wingspantt]

I have the Yoga book 9i. Definitely jealous of the ease of setup. Though I also feel it kind of sucks it only folds flat and not 360 for tent mode or tablet mode.

[@Cerbyo]

[@johnsilver9338]

I'm wondering if Zephyrus Duo will be the same. 🤔

[@xmaverickhunterkx]

I indeed prefer Lenovo's approach except for the touchpad solution, which seems better here (although I'd probably carry a mouse).

[@amirhosseinsharifzadeh6278]

more power, better screen and better keyboard than yoga book 9i but I wish it has surface like hinge and kickstand (up to 170 degree)! price seems to be reasonable but it start with i5! Microsoft should follow this direction if they want to keep surface line really! I think you can use the sleeve as stand for keyboard too!

[@arky9002]

An hdmi or any other video input would have made this that much better! Imagine using it as two different systems in tent mode.

[@bellion166]

Would be great if they manage to stick a egpu to that stand 🤔

[@est737]

If they had a matte screen I'd buy right now

[@homidjohn]

I'm really eyeing this thing because on paper it looks like incredible value in terms of specs and features for the price, but the latter also has me concerned for long-term battery life and heat management.

[@stevenmergonoto]

Does it have webcam privacy cover?

[@narotomo]

This is it this is my next daily driver. I was this close on getting the lenovo but couldn't get around the fact that the keyboard and stand needs to be stored separately. Asus really knocked it out of the park.

[@shoup_group]

Preorders opened today

[@HansKeesom]

Can two people work with touch each using just one screen? A pity it does not have tent mode Apple, are you taking notes? Makes an iPad, that can click on a second display at one side and a keyboard on top of the screen like this. And a macbook that is exactly like this including the stand. If not, I am buying this!

[@ph00ny1]

Biggest issue with yogo9i was the fact that it's a 16GB soldered on memory with no option for 32GB on a dual screen laptop which seems to be designed for multi tasking

[@playerzking]

Can I assume the Pro Duo lineup will have a refresh in 2024 as well? 🤨

[@UrdnotAkongo]

As someone with a Duo 14, I was almost jealous of the two full screens, until I saw it just has iGPU.

[@MatthewMoniz]

I mean it be tough to stick a dedicated GPU in here due to the design but Intel Arc with meteor lake is definitely a nice upgrade compared to previous IRIS XE

[@UrdnotAkongo]

@@MatthewMoniz I say that only because they already have the Zenbook Fold with iGPU, and the Duo line (both ROG and Zenbook) seem to be the more premium models. I feel like their Fold and Duo are pretty much overlapping now, and a dGPU on the Duo would've been the differentiator

[@owlmostdead9492]

As a programmer, all I can say is: This is exactly what I need. No GPU that sucks up power, makes the fan constantly spin up, not having to install drivers etc etc.

[@sebkeccu4546]

Attach a eGPU

[@UrdnotAkongo]

@owlmostdead9492 There's no way around drivers, even with iGPUs. You can manually set it to quiet mode and the fans never spin up even with 30+ tabs open. When unplugged and on battery mode, the dGPU is totally off and doesn't use up battery

[@jebaker2]

Looks amazing!

[@AlanGill1]

'Obviously' ... not as many as a Karl Conrad video, but getting there, obviously 😀

Not sure why they didn't stick. Battery in bottom and top. And needs a dgpu 4060.ultimate portable workstation

[@SSimon]

Can you connect external gpu to it?

[@stuckedinlife6347]

It has 2 Thunderbolt 4 which output a 40GB/s so yeah eGPU is very possible.

[@babyblu5590]

I want to get this but honestly Lenovo did some things better. Hate that this isn't flat, no tent mode as well. Niggling other things. I'm now 50/50 on this. Hmmm.. PS As a righty I still prefer the keyboard orientation that is more compact and brings me closer to the screens.

[@guidolamanna]

this concept would be better if it was a 2-in-1 360 degrees laptop

[@wingspantt]

That's the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i

[@guidolamanna]

@@wingspanttI saw it yesterday a couple of hours after seeing this video! I like the keyboard on the ASUS more though

[@liameneuk]

U pointed the blow dryer backward.

[@TheLDunn1]

I think the problem with this concept is that most users tend to have screens in landscape orientation next to each other, not portrait orientation next to each other, or landscape orientation one above the other. Plus, the trend in recent years seems to be for folk going for ultra wide monitors to get rid of the bezel between two side by side monitors.

[@akinsoyleyen]

You can use it in landscape as well.

[@TheLDunn1]

@@akinsoyleyen not really. When you orientate the two screen into an overall landscape orientation, you then end up with two side by side screens in portrait orientation, OR if you combine the two screens to display one larger landscape screen, then you have a solid bar running down the middle of it.

[@akinsoyleyen]

Dang Asus is sponsoring everyone on this laptop to get the word out 😂

[@Razermantis7649]

They had to dump some Samsung oled displays somewhere, so they came up with this.

[@user-fc9ms9nc8n]

This is really cool but there are some things that are missed. 1. The angle of the display is a bit too big in book stand. 2. Keyboard needs raiser it is just too flat to have a comfortable typing experience. 3. Unfortunately it doesn’t fold completely to use in tent mode or just single monitor mode. I will wait for the next iteration I guess but nevertheless really cool

[@TakingShapeCreations]

I'm sure in the next version they will improve on all you mentioned but this laptop is perfect for trading the markets. It's gonna be popular among traders.

As an owner of the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i, setting it up takes less than 5 seconds. Also the keyboard is much better than ASUS' keyboard because there is no useless trackpad (which is a thousand times slower than using the touching the screen, using the pen, or using a mouse).
