Glad to help! Those little feet will definitely improve the user experience a lot

Thanks! Appreciate that 🙌

Glad I could help! We actually do have the new Zephyrus Duo with us for testing - and we'll be having that video out in a week or so ✌ Subscribe and stay tuned for that!

Those work require more CPU horsepower. I will suggest getting the ROG STRIX SCAR III or the Zephyrus M GU502.

I highly recommend getting one with ScreenPad Plus. The app support is much better compared to the first generation.

Actually yes, but we couldn't find it in our unit 😂 Still, the stand increase the angle of the entire keyboard and ScreenPad Plus. Not exactly ideal.

Thanks! We'll do what we can 🙌

@@NasiLemakTech I like your channel name - I make nasi lemak at work (and many other Singaporean dishes).

And they're delicious! Can't really pinpoint one delicacy to recommend 😋

@@NasiLemakTech I really like achar and coconut rice.

Hey there, yea we are from Malaysia and we have that Malaysian accent 😂 Anyway, we still think that this laptop needs a bit more work - especially on the angle of the secondary display strip - before we can fully recommend this laptop. As of now, we are rocking a 21:9 monitor on our laptop to edit videos. Not the best especially while on the go, but hey - we're in a studio anyway.

@@NasiLemakTech hehehe I love Malaysians..you guys are super cool! And thank you for replying.:) Oh well..at least the competition will definitely start working towards this now.

I sure hope so! It'll take at least a year or two for other brands to come up with this kind of laptop, then maybe another year to drive the cost down. It's a lengthy process.

Glad it helped!

Thanks for the sub!

Fair enough!

That's a good question. I find it very uncomfortable to use on the lap. If the chair doesn't have any backrest, then it might still be usable if you cramp up. Generally not a good experience, though.

This is something that I honestly, agree with. I'm starting to feel that laptops nowadays - especially those that are meant to be portable and plugged into external displays - need a Thunderbolt 3 port.

Is this still the case with the latest driver?

Glad I could help! I would suggest you to hold off your purchase for another week or so. Our review of the newly-announced Zephyrus Duo is coming. That laptop solves a lot of complaints and issues that I have with this ZenBook Duo. Remember to subscribe!

Honestly I wouldn't recommend to do so. The glossy display grips onto the pen strongly

Actually, I saw another channel's review about the stylus. It has some serious issues with the stylus input, especially with very slow inputs. So drawing, especially something that requires precision and accuracy, would totally not work, on either screen. It's a fundamental flaw of the stylus input technology they use, apparently. I would highly recommend not getting this laptop if you plan on using this for the stylus functionality

Unfortunately, no. The pen only works on the secondary screen for the cheaper version.

NasiLemakTech ok thanks!

ASUS has a way of having different specs for different regions. For Malaysians, the Duo is a non-touch main display with a secondary touch-sensitive display. So you need to check with Amazon on that. As for keyboard comfort, it's pushed to the edge which is just... not comfortable to be used on the lap as a laptop.

@@NasiLemakTech, Thank you two for your excellent review! I saw the 14" in a shop today and I absolutely love the idea of 2 screens. I am also mainly an office user, and will be a student again, therefore I will heavily use OneNote simultaneously with any type of documents, so two screens would be phantastic. But even standing in front of the Asus and trying to type I could feel how my arms were sort of constricting my upper body due to the narrow keyboard. Can you confirm that? And have you ever gotten used to the right shift key being so far away to the right? And one more question, if I may: when you actually handwrite on the Screen Pad Plus, doesn't the keyboard get in the way? Like accidentally pressing any keys? Thanks a lot again, guys! Greetings from Germany.

Hey there - thanks! And yes! That Core i7 is powerful enough to handle those tasks.

@@NasiLemakTech thank you for the reply, appreciate it! :)

That's a great tip!

Yep, we were.

I'm sure that's decent enough for most of your needs. Might be a little heavy but that depends on your personal preference. However, I'm totally unsure about FF14 since I don't play that game.

I'm glad you like the laptop! We honestly loved it for productivity use - especially for video editing too. As for the wallpaper, I think you can only find it in the pre-loaded ASUS theme in Settings --> Personalization --> Themes.

@@NasiLemakTech Well just damn! Looking in the preloaded themes never occurred to me! I even texted their support group and they told me the rainbow wallpaper was not publicly available!!!

Did you get the wallpaper? It's quite obscure because I had the same issue as you 😂

@@NasiLemakTech Yes, I found it! How did you get the second screen to finish the rainbow arc the main screen starts? All I can get is the 2nd screen duplicating the 1st screen.

Excellent question - I can't reset that 2nd screen to use the continuous rainbow arc too :(

Yes it will, however, do keep in mind that the secondary screen has touch function so... Placing it on the stand might be a little bit too far away

Fair points. For an external power adapter, I think you can get this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7yIfaaEvaiom3k.html

Hey! Thanks for the question. We didn't try installing any Linux distribution into the ZenBook Duo series of laptops but it should work without an issue. They're both running on x86 CPUs anyway.

Thank you for quick response

Hey there. The Zenbook Pro Duo is powerful enough for those use cases. There are other cheaper alternatives out there but this is the only laptop with two screens.

Oh definitely, which is why we think the overall design of it needs improvement. Especially its ergonomics.

Battery life is as stated, 14-inch version is about 8 hours on Chrome usage with the ScreenPad Plus on 100% brightness. For video editing on the go, I expect it to be around 4?

@@NasiLemakTech thank you for the answers, but could you recommend me one of this laptop... Asus Vivobook Duo just like you have, or asus f571GT? i would use it for making a content, a gaming content... but besides that im not gonna play games much on the laptop. thanks dude :)

@@NickySan Honestly, I'll go for the ASUS F571GT. The ergonomics issue of the ZenBook Duo series is just too much of an issue for me. Perhaps use an external monitor while creating content - that'll be the best solution.

Thanks for the reply!

I'd say it lacks the power needed to push those tasks. or if you can get the i7 model of this laptop, it'll be great.

Point taken!

For basic 1080p editing, the ZenBook Duo 14 is quite okay.

NasiLemakTech Oh alright, but how about the feels of the keyboard? Is it to tight? I’m one of those who who have not so small hands/fingers hahaha

Yes, the keyboard is definitely tight. I have big hands/fingers as well, and the key size on the keyboard is smaller than standard keyboards.

NasiLemakTech sad news! I think I should reconsider. but thanks for your video and all the replies. you’re very helpful man, keep it up!

Glad to be able to help!

Those are two very different categories of laptops. This is meant to be a consumer laptop, whereby the ThinkPads are meant for corporate users. Hence, the extended warranty. Also, ThinkPads are generally more expensive for the same specs that can be found in other brands - because of the service that it offers.

@@NasiLemakTech Thanks for that info. I need those extra years of warranty due to the rugged environments are run these machines.

Yes, then please get either Dell Latitude laptops or ThinkPad.

Depends. Are you planning to get the ZenBook Pro Duo (15-inch) version? That one is using OLED display for the main screen.

For architecture, yes I'd say it's okay. The touchpad is definitely a nightmare for left-handed users. As for Core i7 or Core i9, they're both going to suffer from thermal throttle but the Core i9 would be affected more. I suggest getting the Core i7. Or maybe you can have a look at the new Zephyrus Duo too. Same concept, but considered as a "next generation" ZenBook Duo. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i6qfbMtozsu5oZc.html

@@NasiLemakTech Thank you for your attention.

The CPU on this UX481 is a bit weak for CPU-intensive workloads.

@@NasiLemakTech What laptop would you recommend?

ROG Zephyrus M GU502. I love that laptop.

I'd suggest getting something more powerful with an i7 for AutoCAD. Without wrist rest... very uncomfortable. Between 14 or 15, your choice but do keep in mind that ergonomic issues exist on both.

Nope. For the UX481, only the ScreenPad is touch

It's okay, not the best. It's all bottom-firing too.

@@NasiLemakTech ok thanks for the reply! So, you would recommend them for watching films for example?

I think there are many other better options out there in the market. If you need that secondary strip of screen, then sure - this laptop can handle those tasks. Valorant isn't a demanding game, actually.

@@NasiLemakTech Thanks for the reply! And could you recommend some other options too. That would be a great help.

I'd say the Illegear laptops are a good choice. They have a lot of AMD-powered laptops in the market and they're priced competitively with good build quality. Acer Nitro 5 2020 is a good choice but kinda bad in terms of build quality. ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 is an excellent laptop but of course - there's a price to pay for its excellent build quality.

Color accuracy is good. It can render 4K videos, albeit slower. Editing is somewhat okay as well. Thermals, gonna be warm.

There are a lot of good options out there. I'm basing it off of Malaysian prices - and I think the new ROG Zephyrus G14 is a good option. Maybe the ASUS TUF Gaming A15 too.

Hey yo, thanks for the questions. 1. Nope. It's always white. 2. Unfortunately, no.

😭😭😭 thanks for your response.

I'd recommend you wait for the Zephyrus G14 instead.

If that's the case, I suggest you to get the HP Spectre

Asus Zenbook Pro Duo has a dedicated GPU HP Spectre 360 does not. Having the ability to do a bit more with a GPU is honestly a great asset to have.

Hi there Sid, that's a really good question. And yes, the ZenBook Duo (not the pro) is capable of handling those tasks. If your 1080p video is somewhat simple (no fancy effects, etc) then it's good.

@@NasiLemakTech thank you for your quick and helpful reply! The i7 duo doesn't seem to be in stock anywhere in KL. What do you think of the i5 duo (not pro) model ? Will it be able to run the same tasks smoothly? 1080p video editing on rush, and some Photoshop and lightroom? Thanks again!

Yeah, the i5 version can handle the task pretty well. Though, I highly suggest you to get the i7 version as Photoshop, Lightroom, and Rush is quite CPU-heavy.

@@NasiLemakTech that's what I was thinking too. Any other recommendations in the 5k price range? I'm also looking at the Lenovo yoga s740. Definitely more powerful than the Asus but no second screen haha. Thanks for your thoughts about the new yoga s740 or any other suggestions.

@@sidmandaiker4479 We have not tested the Yoga S740 so we can't make any judgment. From our experience, ILLEGEAR laptops are great too. How about the ILLEGEAR Prodigy or Raven SE-R? We do have a couple of reviews on our other site: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jNdkpLWKtLWtno0.html

As far as I remember, it's under the ASUS Launcher menu. That launcher is found on the ScreenPad.

I'd say no. Get something more traditional and opt for an Intel Core i7.

Hmmm... as of now, only the 15-inch version is using OLED screen instead. Not sure if there's going to be QLED on a laptop since there are no suppliers for that type of screen yet.

QLED is inferior compared OLED. Furthermore, QLED requires backlighting, this means more components, more bulky and heavier. There's a reason why LG is taking Samsung to school when it comes to screen tech.

Should be able to - but nothing advanced or fancy. The VRAM will be choking your performance most of the time.

Sorry, we don't have the laptop with us anymore. I don't really know how to tell you - it's a much smaller keyboard for a 14-inch laptop.

Stuck with white only.

Yes there is - through OBS.

@@NasiLemakTech what is OBS sir...plz tell me sir..

obsproject.com/

@@NasiLemakTech thanks a lot sir...now i got it..sir

Depends. 14-inch no. 15-inch is okay.

@@NasiLemakTechIf i had one of these lap tops, i wonder if you could answer this If i had an internet page screen up on the main screen and a completely different link page up on the second screen would an amateur hacker in the next building only be able to view what is on the main screen. Because if the setting was changed to a separate page and not to scrolling up and down with just one link on the main screen page there would be a difference in their ability to source what they were immediately looking at if they were only using a 1 screen lap top or at least make it more inconvenient for them.? If i am wrong how in a technical sense would they be able to still see all what i am looking at?

There's really no best alternatives since every laptop has its own pros and cons. For me, I'd say these are good alternatives: - Zephyrus G 14 - Acer Nitro 5 (2020) - TUF Gaming A15

I saw your review! It was great! I just ordered mine not to long ago.Maybe I will do a review on this laptop aaahah!

Unfortunately, no.

Ah what a pity... thank you for your fast response

Welcome! Glad to help!

@@NasiLemakTech I watched many reviews of Duo these days, I have to say yours is the most practical and good one. BTW, I just check the newest Duo i7 model, now they have both touch screens, I am sure ASUS really take your advise. Good Job!

Good questions. 1. Yes, it uses Windows Precision Touchpad drivers. 2. 60Hz. These are not gaming laptops.

@@NasiLemakTech thank you bro

Expensive toys.

You could, but I perhaps other laptops with better specs for the price would be a better option.

What can you recommend?

​@@darirusanferaa7647 What about the TUF Gaming laptops? The Zephrus M GU502 is a good option too.

Daryll Ferrer, that’s what I wanted to know too. For engineering design we’d love dual screens for productivity.

What specific app? Autocad? It can handle it with ease. 👍

Definitely yes. Anything displayed on the screen for a prolonged period of time will definitely get burned in

@@NasiLemakTech Then it is going to be a serious deal breaker for the content creators as prolonged usage are inevitable while rendering and designing stuffs. No point in investing in a costly machine if it becomes unusable in a year or so..

There are ways to mitigate burn-in... But it only delays the inevitable. ASUS has a few features built-in too. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jM-kbLxent6qiKc.html

Both are completely different products though. If you want macOS then you have to get the MacBook. To me, the OS doesn't matter. I'll get the Duo Pro.

Should be coming in from the bottom and the back, exhausts at the sides

@@NasiLemakTech thx

It's good enough even more a slightly more intense scene.

NasiLemakTech Ok good ! Thx for the quick respond.

Depends on your workflow. For me, it's nice to have but not necessary

@@NasiLemakTech okayy Thanks for the quick reply

@@NasiLemakTech also you can't really draw with the pen on the primary screen right?

On paper, it can - but I don't recommend buying this laptop for gaming. Temperatures aren't exactly good.

Yes, those are the two exact things we talked about in the video. Honestly speaking, it depends on what you're writing. It might be a bit too small. My biggest concern is the ergonomics as it is just very hurtful to my neck.

Correct. There's none.

@@NasiLemakTech thank you for reply thats such a deal breaker😪

The trackpad is the same like any other laptop, just that it's weirdly positioned and shaped in this laptop. Mind sharing how you're using the laptop?

@@NasiLemakTech Haha, yes i find out in another youtube video..Thank good for youtube.

Can handle, yes. Generally smooth. Without lag... I wouldn't say that since Premiere Pro can lag on the most powerful desktop if the project is of high bitrate.

@@NasiLemakTech thanks

The new Zephyrus Duo is a better option in 2020.

@@NasiLemakTech 😑

Nope. Everything is soldered
