Glad to see Tech companies pushing the limits. This is something that I could actually see myself using (concept wise) in the future. Great video! Would love to see a creator review of it when the product comes out!
Brilliant, This is what I have been waiting for. I have been looking at the Zenbook pro with latest intel chip and thankfully not made a purchase yet. This will be a remarkable upgrade from my Microsoft surface pro 6.
The only thing missisng is a usb-c port on the right side as well. They have put everything on the left side, which is not practical when you have perihperals on the right side of your laptop (screen, mouse,etc..) Some usb-c accesoires also are very large which can make it impossible to insert something in the second usb-c port. So yeah that the only thing i hope they will fix in their next iteration . And maybe a tent mode :-) because the current screen clone is akward, you would both be staring at the reflection of the ceiling. And tent mode is also better when on the bed or couch (so that the vents don't suffocate) I'm a real fan of this device, its incredible how they thought of EVERYTHING. It's definitly much better then the Lenovo yoga 9I (which has a keyboard that is loose, no backlight and has to be carried appart and doesn't charge when put in the laptop. And it has usb A and HDMI port which lenovo is also missing (and are very important). Ow and I forgot: It's much cheaper then the lenovo!
Love it. Always loved the Zaphrus Duo and this is just as cool and in some ways better, in some ways possibly not quite as good eg. the cooling doesn't look as good as the Zephrus but saying that it may not need as much cooling as the CPU is different and the GPU is different. Love it anyway. would have liked to see you show the backlighting on the keyboard just to see how bright it is but aside from that you've showed this off really well.
If only I could flip the second screen around the back and make it like normal laptop with a display on the back for me to display my pictures! Comon Asus fix it!
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.
I bought the Logitech bluetooth keyboard because I wanted the numeric keypad to play WoW. But my character gets cut in half, although you can move the window so your character is wholly in screen.
I am cautiously optimistic about this. I currently use a Surface Pro for school with an external monitor for note taking, not the most elegant setup. If the battery life is halfway decent im all for it.
You wouldn’t really want to use it for editing being an OLED. Great for viewing content but not really making it. You’ll find the content you edit and create will be out of range on most other non-OLED screens.
I don't understand why manufacturers are cheaping out and being lazy on laptop stands. Why use foldable paper stand when you can use actual built-in, metal flop stands like on Surface laptops.
Looks a fantastic bit of kit, i clicked the link to have a look on the website and couldn't help but laugh when reading the section on the audio specs. "harman/kardon (Premium) with Cortana support"!?
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.
Let’s celebrate the evolution from Asus Zenbook 1.5 to Asus Zenbook 2🎉by the way, does the laptop charge the keyboard, or does it always require a separate USB-C cable to charge it?
I want to buy zenbook duo ux8406 But I am afraid to face problems and lagging during working 3d architectural programs in the 2 screens at the same time I think there is weak gpu and missing nividia card Can you help me
Just purchased mine today. I always use multi screens, so this is going to be a game changer for me. I think Asus needs to shut down production on other laptops and crank this up because it's going to be the best-selling laptop of 2024. It's not the best laptop, but it is going to be the best-selling laptop of 2024, so crank it up Asus.
@@theTechNotice how much is that in hours? And if you maybe know would battery life be different with Ultra 5 Vs 7 Vs 9 and with WUXGA screen vs 3K OLED?
No no no ive been waiting for this type of laptop for years! In my eyes this is a no compromise laptop! Im a professional filmmaker and have been using the zenbook duo series for years now this is what ive been waiting for! As much as i love the zenbook duo i find the bottom screen still just not as usable for long session pen input (its also kinda small). And folding 2 in 1s are just bulky and underpowered. Along with the new ultra chips, these laptops can be slim, have great battery life and still powerful enough to get most of my photo and editing work done. If i want a full screen THAT LAYS FLAT for pen input i got it. For video editing i have two full screens, if i want to use it as a normal laptop i can do it. The Zenbook duo you had to use a really small trackpad and a weird keyboard layout, not a huge deal but a compromise none the less. This is it fixes all that!
Filmmaker here also. I'm wondering if this can edit 4k videos on premiere pro. This concept and laptop is exactly what i need for mobile work. Big question is can it edit? I'm currently using dell xps 15 for a balance of performance, weight, and design. I carry a portable monitor with me but setting it up and the eye angle to the side still isnt' great.
Hello. I'm a freelance video editor. I am building my pc for editing on premiere and after effects. How is the i5 13500 processor? And which budget motherboard can I use it with?
Yes IF you keep offline backups and only keep what you're working on in your local 1TB storage. Never keep less than 2 (ideally 3) copies of your photo files, and at least one copy offsite. I use OneDrive (love it) but I also have my own local TrueNAS Scale server.
Too glossy. Can see the reflection of one screen off the other as well as reflection of lights. Two screens are the future, but I want 16" matte or anti-refective screen with keyboard and numeric keypad. And with a hinge that folds all the way back.
Most people who are really into screens, particularly gamers and high-end graphic designers, will prefer a glossy screen as matte will wash out the image. With a glossy screen, you just have to angle the screen to ensure no bright reflections are on the surface. I will NEVER buy matte finish again.
Now we are starting to get closer to the MacBook territory, laptops should be efficient and powerful not power hungry i want to see intel arc gpus become better and i want to see nvidia and amd competing in this category and trying to change the way they're thinking about laptop chips
Should be? 😂😂😂 That is not how technology works. Most struggle between choosing performance power or energy efficiency. Advancements help getting closer to attaining both.
I really struggle to see a non-awkward use case for this - 2 screens up in landscape and the angled glossy bottom screen shows a lot of reflections, the 2 in portrait - the uneven hinge is annoying, the 'share mode' is a complete gimmick and I did not see a good stable drawing position for using the pen. Sorry but- hard pass. A conventional 19 or even a 21 inch laptop/2 in1 would make more sense for many in my humble opinion.
The only thing where i think the lenovo one is better is in regards to the 360° hinge but aside from that asus design is far far more convenient and practical
This is one rad labtop for me to create animations and artwork. Lenovo specs are weak compared to asus. Hopefully this will make a trend for other companies to offer dual screen labtop. The next step would be hologram renders so you can 3d sculpt your polygon or nurbs model in any 3d software
Intel 4 is not 4 nm. Please don't start now, you have been doing a great job, why destroy all that with "small non truths which don't hurt anyone". It will hurt your channel if you start going that way, because where is the limit, which line you won't cross...please keep it real like you already do. Thank you for all your work
Nope! Windows PCs. Not enough software runs on MacBooks for businesses to use them in mass. Also, for simpler computing tasks, Windows PCs provide a greater cost value.
Hate to see Asus abandon professional creators for everyday consumers. Really disliked their Zenbook presser today. Also this form factor was already done by Lenovo. Can't describe how much I dislike this pivot from Asus. This is the type of device that should have included the external GPU, but no. Just a weak multi tasking, entertainment creature
I believe Zenbooks were never for the Professional Creator, it's the ProArt lineup that's designed for that. The Zenbooks are for everyday users/prosumers. Also, I don't agree with the Lenovo comparison and I'd have to agree with Dave2d on this one, I think Asus had a dual screen before Lenovo with their DUO lineup going back a few years. Just thought I'll share my 2 cents :)
@@theTechNotice All the flagship Zenbooks lean heavily towards the professional creator. The Zenbook Pro 16X OLED, Pro 14 OLED, Pro 14 & 15 Duo OLED... The only prosumer one was the non-pro 14 that got first in line for the 14th gen treatment (I'm not counting the 17' fold experiment that no one bought). Also, their Duo lineup never featured dual hinged screens until now and it's the exact same form factor of last year's Yoga 9i with seemingly the only difference being pen support and updated internals. All of their previous Zenbook marketing on their TH-cam Channel was focused on professional film makers, photographers, videographers, animators, designers, now we get people in offices.. Heck, it's even categorized on their store site under the "For Creators" line of laptops! Also, the Touchpad+ is very different than this so shouldn't be compared. Couldn't disagree with you more on this one, but love your channel. Sad day for Zenbook indeed.
You are wrong and jumping to conclusions...you only think the GPU is weak because its internal GPU, this is not the case! This is ARM based processor! (I'm sure you dont even know what this is). Have you head of the apple processors? M1,M2,M3... are they weak? NO! They also have "integrated" GPU (its not really integrated in the CPU), this is the same concept of that intel ARM processor. Please do your research before shouting in the comment section.
@@SatlaE WRONG. Intel Ultra is still based on x86 architecture. This is NOT the same or in the same league remotely as the M series processor. The Snapdragon X Elite coming out will be the first true ARM processor for Windows. Wow, you are the meme of confidently incorrect! Nice try though.
@@theTechNotice Was my comment about Zenbooks really being marketed for Professional Creators removed? Let me just say it again then. The Zenbook Pro x16, Pro 14 Oled, Pro 14 & 15 Duo Oled were all geared and marketed towards professional creators. Zenbooks are featured in the "For Creators" section of the Asus store online. ALL of the marketing material for Zenbooks until today targeted professional creatives specifically. The only non-creator Zenbooks are the non pro 14 that was the first to get Intel Ultra and 17' foldable device. For the folks saying this is running on an ARM chip, no it is not. This is running on Arc which though better then iris xe is still not up to par with Apple's GPU and definitely no where close to a descrete GPU from Nvidia or AMD.

this dual screen make so much sense and design...
What happens when your in vertical mode, say in your lap on the couch, one of the exhaust will be blocked, will it overheat?
Can it sensibly take photographs, e.g. of a sheet of paper?
how does it run Davinci Resolve?
Time to learn soldering skills so we can upgrade windows laptop storage.

Make the other screen detachable with a stand as well and it'll be perfect.
