There are some open source voice assistance on GitHub you can tweak everything yourself and give it a voice u like. Well those aren't as smart as google assistant but u can program it to be if you're a brilliant person😉
It depends on what sort of 3D rendering. I do game development and my SP4 works fine. It even plays BF4 decently at 40-50 fps on low at native resolution which was pretty surprising.
I love this thing. I do hope that they continue this line. I'm not sold on 4k displays on laptops it just seems like too small a form factor for such a high resolution. If they made a 1440p version of this at a lower price I'd be all in.
I know that it has been a year, but I am writing this from my Asus Zenbook Pro Duo! This video does an excellent job in highlighting the pros and cons of this device. I love this computer and I highly recommend this to anyone who might be looking into buying it.
I would put marques ahead comfortably, mr Mobile is incredible presenter and much more stylish than anyone else, but marques takes it to whole another level when it comes to script/insights. He would be great even as a print reviewer.
I wouldn't call these reviews..more like introductions. They are great, don't get me wrong.. although I prefer windows central for this kind of thing but.. here's an example of a comparison between this kind of "review" where it is basically impressions and the "reviewer" doesn't know what he's talking about and someone like Lisa from mobile tech review who is a bona fide reviewer.. Mr mobile says the second screen acts like a secondary display just like an HDMI display would.. this is somewhat true but also incorrect.. Lisa says it acts like a displayport secondary display and that so points out that because of this you'll get the extremely annoying problem that affects windows displayport secondary monitors where it will not detect the device then will redetect it and as such windows thinks you lost a monitor and then reacquired it and so your windows will move to all new positions and then maybe be restored or maybe not to the correct places on the secondary monitor.. very annoying since you put laptops into standby often..
Marques is in the same boat as Mr Mobile.. they both give impressions rather than actual reviews and it serves its place but it would be nice to have more real reviewers. Mr mobile jokes here about not even doing his own benchmarks
Marques is not "much more stylish" than everyone else..sure he has great equipment though. But who to like is just a matter of personal preference.. personally my favorite of these "mini reviewers" are windows central Rubino and tech chap
Love that you are flexing the brick on the desk towards the end of the video. :D. Went to get one last week, but couldn’t bring myself to as while awesome tech, i couldn’t find any point to it over the Note 10+.
I'm making it my goal to have one by next year for my architecture degree, it will be perfect since I dont own a laptop or desktop. The power and sketch pad will be so useful for using CAD and photoshop, I hope it comes down in price by then because I really cannot afford it
Have spent the last 2 days non-stop searching for a second laptop w/ a bigger screen but nothing made me want to spend over even $500. Going to shell out $1,500 for the Duo version of this! Thanks for the review!
Another fantastic video for a very intriguing device. I made the switch 3 years ago from Windows to all things Apple, but being a gadget guy, this has be looking back and was wondering how someone cross-operates across competing ecosystems?
The Zenbook Pro Duo and the Galaxy Fold are very different devices, but also have similar characteristics. Both devices are very expensive, attempt to maximize the screen real estate and have their own shares of 1st-gen compromises that make the expensive price harder to justify; but there's pretty much nothing else on the market right now like these devices.
I don't think this directly competes with the Macbook Pro 15 though. That would be the XPS 15 and Asus' very own pro art lineup. The Duo lacks battery life the Mac/other similar 15 inchers have (for a good reason. Gotta pack all those cooling somewhere).
Got my Asus ZenBook Pro Duo (i9) at the Microsoft Store in Atlanta on Oct 5. I love this thing and can't stop using it! I thought the trackpad would be too small. It isn't! After 3 weeks of use, there's no question, all track pads should be at the right of the keyboard like this one. Did you get your own yet, MrMobile?
You could always use a card reader to use SD cards so there's that for a SD card slot being useless. All the other stated cons are fairly trivial besides battery life as they can be solved easily. This is the essentially the most practical laptop as well as foldable screen/device application and is not gimmicky at all. Pretty great stuff to be honest.
I brought it. Battery life is terrible, but at the same time, this laptop has a specific use case. If you are doing what Mr. Mobile was doing, using web-based apps for work for 8 hours, buy any other laptop on the market. I brought it to emulate networking equipment for work and study, and it does that well and more. It's as not as heavy as you think, and it does fit in a laptop bag well. Gaming is awesome!! not a big PC gamer, but I have Xbox game pass ultimate so I figured I download some games and test it out. Played Gears 5 on it, graphics are better than on my Xbox one S. Screenpad Plus is cool and I do use it for my work, and the keyboard is very, very good. I don't use the wrist rest. It was a small learning curve to get use to the position of the keyboard, but it's not terrible. When plugged in, the laptop is extremely fast when you are heavily using the CPU/GPU, but when it's on battery you will see noticeable slowness. I don't think this laptop was ever meant for you to use it without the charger because of the amount of power it draws. Other than that, this is a fantastic device and it's worth the purchase especially if you have a laptop or computing device for your day-to-day tasks, and you use this for work that needs power.
I know this sounds a little too ambitious, but why don't they make the chassis and the entire keyboard out of glass with mini LCD screens for each key? Maybe they can allow there to be an entire double screen embedded within a physical glass keyboard that goes away when it's not in use and has a sensor to allow the keyboard to appear every time it reads when the user is ready to type. I know it might cost a lot to produce but I'd be a for sure buyer. It'd be similar to the Asus Zenbook Pro duo but with a glass keyboard. That way there is still touch screen functionality above the keyboard, along with a fully seamless double screen.
I own this laptop. Something people should know, and which doesn't seem to get mentioned in reviews, is that the Screenpad+, the thing that you're paying all the extra money for, disconnects every time you close the lid of your laptop, or it otherwise goes into sleep mode. This results in all open windows and application panels being shuffled back to your main display, erasing any panel layouts for Adobe CS products or other software. You have to rearrange your displays *every time you re-open the lid of your laptop*. ASUS engineers have informed me that this is expected behavior and there is no plan to fix it. I wish I had known this before purchasing mine.
One of the nice upsides of the Apple eco system is that the MacBook Pro/iPad already work like the second display setup at the beginning, which to me is less portable but more useful.
Very good review. I am not a computer girl at all. Recently just got a break in and lost my laptop. It has been so long for a old school girl to shop for new laptop.
Missing SD card slot, battery is not good and it weights more than it should, but if Asus can tackle these 3 issues in the next product revision, this could be the product we all have been waiting for (business, productivity, content creation, gaming, music producers...)
That beach scene with the robo-puppy at 7:32 - LOL! So weird! If that's part of another UA-cam video, could you please post a link, I'd love to see it.
I could get behind a laptop with two screens with the other screen on the lid facing away so that it’s easier to give presentations to small groups without need for a projector or second display.
Pretty sure Asus tried that once, it was called the Asus Taichi 21. It wasn’t very good, but it was also pretty compromised. Nonetheless, I can’t imagine ever wanting to present on a 15 inch display.
It looks like the perfect machine but Weight and Battery Life are my top parameters so I will wait for version 2 or 3 as they refine it. In desktop mode I just use a separate screen if I need, the problem this is a laptop. Price is also steep at $3k But I remain tempted.
I like it, a lot. But I would prefer not having the trackpad at all since I prefer using an external mouse. Plus, you won’t miss it that much when you’re on the go coz it’s touch screen. Although, to be honest, I do sometimes find myself using the trackpad a lot more for quick selections than an external mouse but these are all the same things I’d probably then just start using the touchscreen for.
“Every laptop should have two screens” Man, you timed this perfectly with the announcement of Surface Neo
Yeah, looking forward for Michael Fisher to review it when released next year.
what wrong with just split the screen in half like what i do right now...?
I wish you were the voice of Google Assistant...
"Hey Google, play Star Trek on Netflix"
Let Google know the same.....
Wait, this is brilliant
We need to make this happen somehow
The Alexa is adding new voices. Maybe we can petition Amazon? Thoughts @mrmobile?
There are some open source voice assistance on GitHub you can tweak everything yourself and give it a voice u like. Well those aren't as smart as google assistant but u can program it to be if you're a brilliant person😉
Great review my man! I only had this for a few days but it's most certainly the best use of a second display on a laptop

Hands down, the gold standard of tech reviewing is Mr Mobile!

He would be great even as a print reviewer.

This would be perfect for Ableton or any other DAWs! A mixer at the bottom
back in 2008 lenovo had the W700ds with a secondary screen built in, really cool concept
"I almost wish there was a mechanism that made this pop-up when you open the laptop." wow Asus actually listened, they made Zephyrus Duo.
Earned yourself a subscriber. Excellent combination of humor and research. Love your audio and video btw
All his reviews are always so pleasant 😊😊😊
Productivity you say? I see that BlackBerry Key2 LE Atomic edition at 7:36 mark.
Nice one Mr. Mobile.

"I am NOMAD! I am PERFECT!"

I appreciate the use of LCARS in one of the opening shots.
I PURCHASED THE I9, I AM REALLY SATIFIED WITH THIS PRODUCT, LOVE ,LOVE, IT DOES EVERYTHING

I just got one of these, very excited
This thing is cool, and seems really well thought out. I have no use for it, but I would have in the past. I'd definitely buy it if I had the money.

Szymon Krasuski With Apple you aren’t just paying for the hardware...It’s also MacOS/iOS/iPadOS. Overpriced, yes, but it is also high quality.
