Can we just take a moment to appreciate that this guy replies to pretty much every comment. Even at 200k + subs.
Keep up the good work dude.
yeah, I would definitely play overwatch on my main screen and watch cat videos on my secondary screen
like,, maybe 7, or 9 right now. my dude
Is it good for computer programming?
@@leeblack-hammer910 Not with a quad core processor limited to 15W. Even the i7 option is still a quad core, and the memory speed is super bad at 2133 MHz. Although single core clock speed of the i7-10510u is 4.8 GHz, I seriously doubt it can hit that speed at just 15W with Intel 14 nm technology.
hmm, still buy it since it look so damn cool
Lee Black-Hammer it isn’t, keyboard is small
honestly that looks like a beautiful piece of hardware
🤩
Undoubtedly,
This is the best and complete reviews I needed to decide whether to buy the product. I really hope others also do the same. ❤
Thank you!
This review is so deep... Thanks for the hard work!
Cheers!
I have been waiting for a thorough review of this laptop. Thanks😁
Happy to help!
Man you have covered this laptop to a great extend. Really good work.
I'm happy to say I have this laptop I have been watching Jarrod'sTech and asking him questions and he has replied to them all I'm so greatfull, so the duo screen on this laptop is mind blowing I edit vids on the top and have the desktop open on the bottom with you tube next to it also, the bad points are the keyboard it's taking getting used to and tge side track pad, the battery life isn't as long as they advertising I think but it's decent, and not having a sd card reader and using the dongle port adapter takes very long to import files from a sd card, the screen is bright enough it looks decent tbf, but the duo screen trumps any negative about this laptop it unbelievable what you can do on this thing it really is
Thanks for sharing your experience with it! What sort of battery life are you seeing, and under what workloads? The battery results from my testing were some of the best I've ever seen, so curious to hear.
@@JarrodsTech prem pro up top youtube down bottom brightness up full but uno what maybe I was having so much fun I really didn't realise the time flying past but I'll see for definite how long it lasts soon and comment
Hey can you use a smaller charger for the zenbook pro duo? Like a small USB type C charger.
@@Zanderline I doubt, cuz the main charger is quite large at the moment. If you were to charge with type-C, you probably wouldn't charge or it might charge really slowly
@@ih762 max 3 hours and with some brightness adjustment max to max 4
Good to see that ASUS has found their differentiating feature, they just now have to double screen everything.
Next up, QUAD SCREEN
Great review. I'm thinking of buying this one and this review told me everything I wanted to know.
Thanks, glad to hear it was useful!
Did you bought it?
@@Charlieczek No, in the end I went with Lenovo S540-15IML. Less than half the price, almost the same specs. Great buy.
@@heretic124 Thank you for your reply :) I need max. 14inch laptop. I really love 2 screen model. But still not sure what will buy.
@@Charlieczek so, did you buy it ?
Thank you, Jarrod! Your review helped me to get a perfect laptop for me. Unfortunately, in Russia, there was no model with i7 and 16 GB ram, so I've ended up with i5, 8 GB of ram and 512 SSD. The only thing that really worried me was the ram, but with large enough paging file (mine is 8 GB to 16 GB) it all works perfectly!
You've earned a sub, man. Keep going!
Glad to hear it, welcome to the channel!
@@JarrodsTech hi jarrod. i am wondering whether to buy Asus zenbook UX334FA or this laptop. could you give me your opinion? thanks i will appreciate any opinion you give
Finally the review i've been searching for!
Woohoo!
You're Very Underrated, But U are the Best Man❤️
Cheers!
The best are always underrated
Thanks for this review, very detailed and balanced. I've just bought the UX481FL-HJ093T which has two touch screens: plus comes with a stylus and sleeve.
I love how much information and effort you put in this video ! Thanks a lot, exactly what i needed
Someone professional please address the issue of PWM flickering of the screen..it gives me headache 🤕
This is absolutely an amazing laptop, I've just ordered the 14 inch, because of much longer battery life and portability. We usually purchase Lenovo carbon and T series for their quality and durability. I didn't like HP spectre, we purchased quite a few of HP Spectre 360 for our business but their quality is not as great as they used to be in the past, problems with keyboard failure and power issues. After watching people using the zenbook and tried it out myself, I absolutely loved it.
Do you have any concerns about the heat being pushed out on the screen?
Thanks for this helpful comment... I was confused whether to go for HP or this one...
Best review on TH-cam ever seen i have seen n number of vlogger but you’re different keep it up love from India 🇮🇳
I'm planning on using this for digital art, and the fact that I can have my reference on the bottom is appealing cause I just have to look down. I'm also excited to use this for my online D&D cause I can have my notes on the bottom, as well as DnD Beyond so I don't have to have to borrow someone else's computer to run my games. Thank you for this, I fell in love with this laptop and need it in my life
Oh so you were reviewing the i5 model ??? geeze, not bad for such a budget system - makes me even happier I picked up the basic i7 model today ($2050 from harvey norman - knocked them down from $2299).
ImmortalInflames so how is it. good performance laptop? im really attracted to buy.
@@doniacx Overall it's certainly amazing what you can get for your money these days. The little 2GB dedicated GPU is what led me to purchase this over other brands and the one other competitor the Surface Laptop (Surface book) which has very similar specs but only half the ram (8gb).
In order to keep these running at its best for longer I haven't used it a lot yet, waiting for a 256gb SD card as i'll use that to store music and such on it.
However what I can tell you I was able to play StarCraft 2 on high settings while listening to music (video clips on TH-cam) & monitor the CPU/GPU on task manager at the same time with no real loss in performance. I'm unable to tell you the FPS but the frame rate remained smooth.
I don't know if it can handle the latest AAA games, thankfully for me this laptop I want for some light video editing, a few games of SC2 now and then & the option to stream or YT - all of which it's more than capable of.
Build quality things pretty top notch, speakers sound good but I quickly put on earphones.
The only issue I have is with the MYAsus app telling m that my warranty expires on September (less than 6 months), instead of 12 months and it's been a royale pain trying to figure out how to fix their mistake.
My other concern is down the track (and this basically goes for all laptops these days..) when the battery eventually needs replacing... will Asus sell me a new battery?
The drivers seem pretty easy to get so i'll be sure to download them all and store them on an external HDD/SSD just incase i'll need to replace the onboard SSD one day aswell.
after 3 days of ownership the laptop itself - 9/10
Asus support - 1/10
TL;DR - if you do a bit of everything - this could be a great pick for you!
If you are heavy on gaming - best consider the Pro Duo, other laptops or at least more videos about this computer to see what it's limits are for gaming as of right now i'm unable to provide that information (sorry).
Bro ur channel is the best in TH-cam.. Keep going
Thanks, will do!
This will work to play Minecraft servers, productivity in school and edit some videos or photoshop but not profesional or nothin like that ?
Me: Mum Can I Get A New Monitor?
Mum: We Already Have A Second Monitor At Home
Monitor At Home:
oof
Best laptop review I've ever seen ...
Thanks!
Thumbs up for a thorough review. You earned a subs here 😊 keep up the good work!
This review is undoubtedly the best of this laptop. And seeing your other videos, it looks like you really are a very comprehensive reviewer. Major props to you. Thanks to your review, I have come to a purchasing decision on this laptop, and I hope to get my hands on one within the next month.
Quick question. The only game I really foresee myself playing on this machine is League of Legends. I don't game much outside of my Nintendo Switch. If it can run DOTA 2, how would you say it compares to playing League of Legends?
Also, would you happen to have any idea how well it would run with GBA / Nintendo DS / Nintendo 3DS Emulators?
Cheers! I haven't tested that game but yeah like Dota I would expect it to work without much issue. No experience with any sort of emulators so can't say how it performs there, sorry.
Amazing review! Thanks!! A question: what is the brand of the second screen you show at 17:08?
I can definitely see the second screen being a huge benefit for tablet artists like me where the extra screen real estate means room for references without needing to whip out a phone or spending extra on a portable monitor. Saw this at JB HI FI the other day but I wasn't too sure how it would fare out spec wise so great review haha.
Thanks! Yeah some interesting use cases with something like this 👍
I am going to buy this very soon. I hope this notebook is still actually a safe and durable option to go ahead with, given the popularity of the brand. Thanks a lot for the detailed review
No problem!
One question that I have been looking for someone so long to answer this~
Is it a big difference between i5 and i7 processor in this laptop?
I also want to know
yes when you need to do programming or video rendering
I do a lot of coding, stats, and multitasking (emails),slack,etc. and couldn't afford the higher end version - and this laptop performs well, decent price for the specs-I love that i can use the screenpad to sketch, draw, take notes with hands while on zoom calls, and while coding the second screen is awesome-- etc. Not too heavy either. I have small hands -so the keypad fine for me, but for people with large hands the keypad might be too scrunched.
That's a COMPLETE in-depth review. Thank you very much.
Happy to help!
Hi Jarrod, the review is very much detailed but I am very new to computer things so I am currently doing Cyber Security course will this cheaper version of ASUS Zenbook Duo be good for me to operate LINUX and metasploitable in the virtual machine without any lag. If not which laptop do you think will be good for Cyber Security course. Thanks mate!!
Thanks for reviewing this base model since its more affordable compare to the pro model. Super helpful 👍
Why not just make it two entire screens and the lower one changes into a touch keyboard when you need it to? I believe there is something like that about to come out but it is a foldable screen.
I've seen some prototypes for that, not something I'd personally want, I prefer the key press feel of a real keyboard compared to touch screen but that's just me, I am way slower trying to type on a touch screen like that compared to standard keyboard. I'm not that desperate for a slightly longer second screen I guess.
Really appreciate for the good review! So, coming back to the speakers, are they loud with no distorsion? Thanks
Can you please confirm that it's a MICRO SD Card reader?
are you aware of the the szie limit it can used.. eg 256gb should be fine right?
Super laptop it looks like! Just do you know what s the difference between the UX 481 FA and UX 481 FL? Somehow it looks like the FL is sold out everywhere whereas the FA is not... thanks for your feedback!
Not sure what the difference is between those models, sorry.
Very informative Jarrod, thanks! Is the MX250 sufficiënt for video-editing and possibly 4k editing though? I'm truly stuck between buying the Zenbook duo and the MSI prestige 15 for content creation, as there both are good choices..
Cheers! You can do it, but the export process is definitely slower compared to a GTX based laptop from my own testing, I started including Premiere exporting results at 4K in more recent videos and have results from this laptop included too.
Hi Jarrod, this review is so good!
Love you accent too 😀 is this good for graphic designer like me? Adobe cloud is what is normally use. Thank u.
I'm a photographer using photoshop and lightroom with it and I'm in love. You can put your tools like the history panel, actions panel, basically any panel on the bottom screen. It can handle photoshop and I'm sure illustrator with no problem.
Jarrod I am just 1 step away to buy this. I have a burning question, can I upgrade the GPU somehow, as I need a better GPU for training neural networks and also deep learning is involved. I have reached ASUS but didn’t get a response
The GPU is soldered to the board and cannot be changed, however it has Thunderbolt so technically you could use an eGPU enclosure, just be aware of the limitations.
Thumbs up for the explanation for second screen
👍
Jarrod, first off thanks for all the awesome reviews! Is there any chance you could make a detailed comparison video featuring Alienware m17 r2 and the Asus Zephyrus S gx701? Would be very interesting to see how those two fare against each other.
Thanks, to be honest probably not. I've lost hope and given up. I kept following up with them at least once a month since they launched at Computex in June and kept being told they didn't have review units yet. I know for a fact they had them on show at PAX in Melbourne in October. I asked them if I could get one of those and they said they'd have them soon. Still being told they don't have them 1-2 months after that. I've seen other "influencers" and streamers get them in Australia, so I guess they're prioritizing them over actual reviews. I've got such a backlog of machines here at the moment that I'm not going to go out of my way to request it from them for the umpteenth time, if they want me to cover it they've got my details.
@@JarrodsTech Alright, I get the picture. Thanks for your response and best of luck with future endeavors!
Hey, amazing video! Could I ask you, I am deciding between this laptop and the HP Elite Dragonfly. Can you give me your opinion on which one should I get? Thank you
Thanks! I haven't used that one so really hard to compare, I suppose for this one it depends whether or not you think you'll benefit from the 2nd screen.
@Martin Wow! it's amazing to meet someone in the same predicament as me four months later :D I have done a lot of research on these two chic computers... Now can you tell me which one you got for yourself? 😍
Hey, great review mate! I'm planning on getting this but have you got any idea on why some units have the Stylus and some dont?:/ iv checked with two local suppliers and one has the version with pen and the other without.
Thanks! Not sure about that, it's a bit strange, the box obviously had a section for one, but mine didn't come with it and it was brand new.
Hi Jarrod and comments. I'm in the market for a gaming laptop, preferably a cooler one temp wise (as I'd be using it alot on my lap). Mainly for semi modern games (Overwatch, WoW) and a bit of light video editing. No budget. What would you recommend I look at from the top of your head? Thanks! 😍
For $1000-1200 USD the Acer Helios 300 2019 or Lenovo Y540 with GTX 1660 Ti will play any game fine with ok temps, good feature set/performance for the money compared to other options.
@@JarrodsTech thank you very much!
This may be a dumb question but this laptop should be able to CAD and CAM software pretty easily right?
So between this one version & the ipad pro 12,9 inches, which one would you buy & why as in general for everyday use & engineering work? & is it much the difference between i7 & 15 & 8gbts ram & 16 ram?
Can you put the taskbar on the second screen and remove it from the main screen? That would be nice. Even for an hackintosh, you can have a software touchbar on the screenpad and still having the function keys.
Not actually sure, I didn't try that one sorry.
Yes you can.
@Jarrod'sTech thank you for such a thorough review. I believe you are a professional expert. I am a mechanical engineer and having powerful hardware for simulation programs is important to me while a dual-screen would be helpful to work on my research with more domination on various windows. I just want to know your opinion on this model or any other models that suit me.
The Regular version of this with I7 with MX250 is selling here in PH for 1300usd
Not too bad given it's expected you pay more for a dual screen machine.
Hey. Could you please give me an opinion if the keyboard and trackpad being so far back makes it uncomfortable to use this laptop on your actual lap? Great Video btw!
Thanks! Yes, it does, you have to move your arms back to use it. It's fine on a desk as you can just push it back a bit more.
Hello there, allow me to have one question that is really important for me,
I want to get a very good looking laptop, with a stunning 4k display for media, and thin bezels, and also has the ability to play some games.
I am mostly going to use it for college so I need some battery ability...
I was considering the dell xps 15, it is gorgeous but you said that it has throttling issues so it is not so worth it...
I am loving the zen book pro duo, with rtx 2060...
My main concern is that it has short battery life,...
So the question is,
If it turn the 2nd screen off, and reduce resolution to 1080 while I am in the college, and only using Microsoft apps and some browsing...
Can it last ,say 4 or 5 hours?
It is really difficult to Carry the power plug..
Thank you so much
Don't buy gimmic laptop if you don't use the feature. You can try msi prestige 15, it has 1650 maxq, 4k resolution 100 AdobeRGB, thin bezzel, long battery life, 2 fan and other. Dell xps 15 is good though
@@aliefr2984
Can you trust MSI laptops to hold on for 2-3 years?
There's also the Zenbook 15 with the UHD display. gtx1650 and 4 core cpu but good battery life because lower powered CPU, good enough for most stuff unless you need the 45w cpu
You can see how big the power brick of the pro is and its weight in the full review, the machine is on the bigger/thicker side though. I also tested battery with the screen off, didn't see too much change there. Can't recall exact battery life it scored but again results are in that video. If you're looking at the XPS 15 also worth checking out the Gigabyte Aero 15, similar feature sets and 4K option.
I own both the duo pro & duo. The pro can last more than 5 hours for just some documents editing or web browsing. The smaller duo can last two days of using. Battery last for about 20hours Which is very good. منوعات Multi
Great review thanks.
Hey Jarrod! Great review on this interesting machine!
One question though. Being a 14" laptop, it looks like the keyboard is shrunk to a size similar to what we find on 10" or 11" tablets, which are frankly half-decent at best. Does it feel cramped to type on the Zenbook Duo?
Thanks! I didn't really notice much oh a problem, it still seemed alright to me while typing on it, but I recently moved to a 12.5" laptop for travel so maybe I'm used to it haha
How do you think this laptop would perform while studying? Is it hard to write on the keyboard over a longer period of time?
Probably fine, as long as you are using the laptop on a desk or similar so you can push it back a bit and still use the keyboard, otherwise using it on your lap is a bit awkward due to the front placement.
Another Great video! Not sure a mx250 will be able to handle too much tho. BTW still waiting on the Razer blade stealth with 1650 max-q review!
Thanks! Yeah I look at it just for basic GPU acceleration maybe for video editing etc. I'm working on that one now, the gaming benchmarks should be up this week, hopefully review next week.
I'm never going to own one of these, but I'm glad it exists
Hey, awesome review! Just wanted to ask if the main display works with the stylus?
No... Unfortunatly, only the screenpad plus is tactile...
Guilhem Coletti oh.. thanks for responding
Yeah you need the Pro Duo if you want both touch.
Alright thanks!
"This is art!" HaHaHa!
😎
Can you explain how to make the keyboard lights flash? I thank you in advance for this information!
It seems like the UX481 hasn't been launched on US Amazon website, I could only find it in UK Amazon
Yeah not sure what the deal is there 🤔
I'd use the main screen for an IDE, bottom screen for a terminal and slack, swapping one of those out for chrome as required. I currently use a portable monitor along with a macbook pro but the total weight is something like 2.6kg so I tend to leave the monitor at the office, meaning I don't have it with me if I go anywhere else. I also tend to forget to plug it in after returning the laptop to my desk. Overall I'd rather have a second screen built into the laptop, it's just a question of zenbook duo or Pro duo.
Yeah sounds like a good setup 👌
I bought the i7 one after watching your review. Really liking it so far. I was thinking to undervolt this beast but XTU is showing that it's unsupported. Can you let me know which software did you use to undervolt it ?
Yeah XTU doesn't seem to support U series CPUs, give Throttlestop a go.
Hey do you play games with it? how is the fps
So is the pro model worth the extra thousand dollars? Idk if to buy the non pro if it lacks a lot
Does tapping the touch screen move your cursor from its original position?
2:02 sir when you opened the lead of the laptop it gives a white blink is . This a problem with the secondary display? Is thre any issues on the laptop sir?
Jarrod, I have a GX531, and I love it so damn much.
Unfortunately, it's too unwieldy to bring to University everyday, and then go home and plug it all in again. Honestly, the GX531 is so beautiful that I worry about scratching it ... I wanted an ASUS laptop that is smaller that would be a lot more manageable to bring along with me everyday.
Do you find this noticeably smaller and a lot more portable than the GX531? I know the difference in measurements, but I'm wondering how this translates into the real world.
Yes it's a fair bit smaller, I guess you could cut a sheet of paper to the size of the dimentions and put it on top of your current laptop to get a rough idea of the size difference?
@@JarrodsTech that's a really good idea actually. I'll give that a crack.
The HP Envy has a very similar spec sheet with this (i7-10510u + MX250). I was wondering if you could do a review on that, since I haven't seen any videos on that at all. Unless you think it would perform similarly to this laptop?
Unfortunately HP don't send me review units and they cost too much in my country for me to buy just to review, sorry. I've tried everything to make this happen. I've sent countless emails to every address I can find, made phone calls, even met with their staff at various events and exchanged business cards but nothing has come of it, so I can only assume they're not interested.
@@JarrodsTech That's unfortunate. Thanks for replying though. Would you have a recommendation that houses the same specs, 10th gen i7 with MX250? (Acer Swift 3/5, Yoga S740, etc?)
Good review but you dont have the complete info. for example If the pen is included or not, some of your animations looks like another review , you can share more info from the asus site, but good intetion
Jarrod love your videos and i love how youre reviews cover every aspect. Much love man. And i have a small request. Can you please do a review on the lenovo yoga s740 14 inch
Cheers, I've asked for that and the S540, just depends on what Lenovo will send me, they're a little tricky to work with and get new laptops unfortunately so we'll have to wait and see.
Is the screen of the screenpad made of plastic or glass?
Is it good enough for full Adobe suite and 3D modelling?
Jarrod, thumbs up!
What about the number pad, is it possible to get it on the screen pad plus?
Thanks! I can't actually recall if that was one of the options, maybe, I guess worst case you could set on screen keyboard there.
Are u able to charge the laptop using a 65w USB c charger?
There was no mention of Type-C charging and I did not test it.
@@JarrodsTech ah OK. Thnx 👌
Is this out yet in the usa? Keep reading that itll be out in q1 of 2020 so march right?!
Not sure sorry, could be some delays due to recent virus issues.
My screepad plus had this white lighting on the edge and on the bottom right corner, I dont know if something is wrong or is it supposed to be like that?
This actually looks better than the pro model to me sadly. The pro version looks like a prototype model
Pro model needs a refresh badly
Hello, what is your opinion about the speakers?
Honestly at this point I have no memory of them, so what ever I said in the video about them, sorry.
Hi, I'm an architecture student, I want this computer to use programs like autocad sketchup, to render drawing, but I wonder if it uninstalls these programs?
This is currently avaiallblle in finland for 1000€ should i get this or an m1 mac for school? Im studying computer science
Can it be used to play games on lower to medium settings?
Can I use an external graphics card with this laptop?
You miss-diagnosed "bleed" for "glow"... Bleed you can have warranty performed on. "Glow" which on this particular panel with the official title as "IPS-Glow" is actually what is represented. If you have bleed the colour would be washed out in the "bleed" spots - asus and many other IPS panel manufacturers list this on their websites. Small gripe.
I just refer to it all as the same thing, it's suboptimal.
@@JarrodsTech the thing is, it's not the same lol. So it's misinformation and if you were diagnosing the panel it wouldn't be a fault. So telling people it's bleed is incorrect.
You also have "tech" in your channel name so it would probably be more professional to correctly label it
Hey Jarrod! i have one question though. is the version with the nvidia mx250 worth a pick or the one with the intel uhd graphics 620 is enough?
Depends if you need graphical power, the MX250 isn't great, but still a huge leap forward ahead of the Intel UHD 620 graphics.
@@JarrodsTech well im looking for something that can handle drawing, photo/video editing and some light gaming.. which version (mx 250 / uhd 620 graphics) do you think i should go for?
@@yansenkhu9254 If you're doing light gaming and video you will definitely benefit from the MX250. But tbh, even at this price you can much better specs (gtx 10 or 16 series) if you give up the 2nd screen.
My previous Asus Zenbook's usb-c didn't support usb-c to display adapters. Has Asus fixed that with this one?
DisplayPort over Type-C wasn't listed in the specs.
Please review Hp products also, especially Envy series!!
Unfortunately HP don't send me review units and they cost too much in my country for me to buy just to review, sorry. I've tried everything to make this happen. I've sent countless emails to every address I can find, made phone calls, even met with their staff at various events and exchanged business cards but nothing has come of it, so I can only assume they're not interested.
Which laptop is better for casual gaming like fortnite,roblox and csgo and doing homework. ACER Nitro 5 (2019) 8th gen i5 with gtx 1050 or Lenovo ideapad l340 same specs and your video?
Probably the L340 with higher end GPU, though the single channel memory could be a bit of an issue.
Jarrod'sTech does it run cooler cause I heard that the nitro 5 breaks down cause of the heat it produces
Hello Jarrod thanks for creating such good review videos.
I am planning to buy a machine but little confused,so want to share and get idea from you.
My requirements are
1-I want touch screen for photo manipulation and editing using Photoshop.
2- I want to use it for compositing software like Nuke .
3- I want to use it for unreal engine
3d application like Maya zbrush.
Please let me know which device will be better Asus zen book duo i5 or surface pro 7 i5?
( I do not have more budget to buy higher spec asus )
Can you please suggest. Thanks in advance.
Cheers! I haven't tested that many touchscreen laptops personally, most of them are ultrabook style and far less powerful than the specs available here, so if you need the power, something like this would probably do pretty well. Not sure about surface as haven't used it personally (smaller channel so I guess Microsoft don't care about lending me products haha)
Hello! Maybe the video is too late to ask, but is the MX250 a 25 TDP or a 10 TDP ? Thanks !
I am not sure, HWInfo didn't report it.
I was about to get a razer blade stealth until I found out the Zenbook Pro Duo had a portable version
I was planning on getting this for music production, hope it’s worth it :)
Let us know how you find it, really interested to hear how people use it for different workloads!
so is it good?
@Cloud Q and is it any good?
This laptop is really nice and i could really use those dual screens but the lack of usb-c charging is a dealbreaker for me.
Yeah fair enough
Can I use a higher wattage adapter to charge it?
I'm wondering if is it good gear to photo editing? some better option for the same money ?
It's alright in terms of the screen, hardware is ok for some photoshop etc.
Hi jarrod I am looking for a new laptop and I need it to be half cheap, I saw this one online for $1549 aud. Do u think this would be well spect enough to run some cad/solid works?
To be honest, I do not know, I have no experience with those workloads, though it is a weaker U series CPU and MX GPU so I'd be skeptical given you can get way more power (say Lenovo Y540/Y7000) for similar money, you'd want to check some benchmarks first that have tested those.
is the main 14 screen touch screen
How does it hold up to creative content tasks? (E.g. photo/video editing) Im concerned if the "U" processor would be able to hold up with those tasks.
It does ok, I think there were some creator workloads in the video
Can't decide between this laptop and zenbook UX433FLC. Where I want to buy them zenbook duo has i5 10210u and UX433FLC has i7 10510u and its is 200 euros cheaper. Every other spec is the same. Can you help me to decide 😬 ?
I suppose it depends on whether or not you want to pay more for the second screen. If you don't need the second screen, then I'd pay less and get the higher specced i7.
@@JarrodsTech thank you for your response ! But shouldn't zenbook duo have a better thermal performance ? P.S. you have a nice channel, with good in-depth reviews, you need more recognition !
Would be a nice replacement for my current carry-on laptop, which is a 3.5kg Dell.
Sounds a bit more portable!
