The ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo is a high-performance laptop with two screens! That’s right, a secondary display above the keyboard offers more screen real estate than we’ve ever seen on a mobile workstation or gaming laptop.

Linus did you play with Taran's render?
We will fix asap
@@LinusTechTips I enjoy that error actually, leave it in, if its real deal - render messing about ^v^
@@LinusTechTips lmao
Better yet, put in a caption “Linus actually ruined the render :D”
he did ahhaahhahahaha
8:44 I thought my PC was malfunctioning, luckily it was just Linus' rendering
hahaha same
Same here
you weren't alone about it 😂🤣I was quite worried there 😂😂😂
Same! I just had my desktop die and I thought "Great..now my laptop is being weird too" haha
ya that was weird
Really had to make sure my computer wasn't going sicko mode at 8:43
Isn't your computer always in sicko mode?
Please bring back orange Lad 🗿🍊
Guessing your going to have to make a meme out of this
linus messed it up over there
Your computer must hurt half the time
*Linus:* Your Move
*Apple:* _Adds two zeros to the price_
LTT: Hey let's mention Apple in the title it's at least a 50% boost on views. You know how much unreliable and how costly is the Pro Duo? Do you own one?
@@BrawndoQC Unreliable and costly? It's half the price of the closest spec MacBook and it's perfectly reliable?? And yes I own one.
@@BrawndoQC Damn...iSheep sure get butt hurt if you're talking about their products. it's a freaking computers, no need to defend it. Machines don't have feelings...
@@kobedabest Oh yeah I'm sure butt hurt.. Just received my ROG 2 Phone yesterday, have a killer build with a 2080 Ti etc. But I do use Apple products for actual work. I'm just not a sheep like you. You know, being able to be not biased.
@@BrawndoQC You seem upset iSheep, put down the iPhone and get some fresh air.
your editor has a great on screen personality and presentation skills
almost too well
@Forza Horizon 4 Gamer ok
What video were you watching?
It is a paid actor...
I thought the same thing, came to comment and saw this comment immediately! Lol
End of the video didn't export right I guess
Probably shouldn't have done it on the laptop.
Linus was fucking with the render
LoL
Glad it's not just me
Lol, whoever the editor is forgot the intro and already fucked this up as well
8:43 loop engaged.
I blame Linus when he messed with the render
Apple: Here is Touchbar, our innovation !
Asus: lol
Asus: lol
APPLE(Mother): "awwwhhh..... cute, look at the little tyke, look at what my boy did ...", "What? Yes Asus, that does look like Daddy, good job!"
APPLE(The daddy): www.macrumors.com/guide/sidecar/
Asus: (15 years later after attending art school); "ughh... Mom take that off the fridge, it's so embarrassing."
ME: ... Innovation goes farther than adding a feature. I hold efficiency in the application/use of the tool high above what I think I wanted (expectation) of the tool.
They described in the video all the hindrances that will prevent them from using the features in the future with happy faces.
Come on Apple innovate, lol... just a bunch of youtube tech sycophants trying to keep you in a loop of worthless consumerism.
@Masiosare II No it is more like a star being devoured by a blackhole of nothingness.
Didn't Lenovo have a touch bar on their laptops first though with the haswell based Thinkpad X1 Carbon, I believe.
@@AchakBrooks You ok buddy?
@@AchakBrooks who hurts you buddy?
folks at apple has some innovating to do...
Apple: we innovated dongle designs
apple: "Quick remove a connector, and invent a way to do the same thing at 5-20x the cost, give it a cute name and wait for the billions to roll in"
Brand new matte black monitor stand pro for only $2000
Dual Screen Dongles 2020 MacBook Pro
Apple will say that this is the same as their "touch bar". And they might actually deserve credit for the idea. Yeah, touch bar is gimmicky, but make it really big and allow the user to decide what gets displayed, well, that is a bit more interesting.
Yep
8:43
Now what the hell just happened there.
Linus did you play with Taran's render?
lol, yepp
Michel van Briemen I agree and "glad" to read that I'm not the only one having issues with the end of the video
I thought my phone was dying or something. Glad I wasn't the only person see this
Thank goodness, I thought my phone died
Same here!
8:43 , that's why you don't let Linus touch the rendering machine xD
I saw
What happened? I don't see anything wrong...
@@rishabhrawat7856 There was a bug in the video, and they fixed it unfortunately, so the timing doesn't work anymore. They cut the good part :|
@@sotirispa lol ok
Great review. I just recently bought this with the i19 12th gen and 3060 GTX. Been working great and love the second screen not only for the portability (since I use two monitors all the time) but also the features that the second screen allows for. I love using it especially for video editing. Some people use it for meetings (with camera view on top screen and note taking and emails split side by side on the bottom screen. You can even use the Pro Art Hub to set up the second screen with "digital" dials and buttons that work with the software of choice. For example, they have presets for Photoshop where the dials could be used for brush size, etc. or you could customize and resize your own button and dial functions as well.
THIS
A laptop that is focused on productivity, with the touch pad on the right of the keyboard, without it looking like an edgy kids toy. This is the way forward.
Yes, because only 10% of the population of the world are left handed.
@@mrljgibson So if they see a public demand for it they could also release a version with the trackpad on the left, what I meant was that as soon as I saw the first laptop with the trackpad along the keyboard I said "yes, that" and now that they jammed another screen in that dead space? yes, that's the laptop I want
I'm a lefty for writing but use my right for mouse anyway.... Plus this isn't the kind of laptop you throw in your bag and transport every day, so why not use a wireless mouse anyway? I do on all laptops.
@@Russh1 I put in my bag every day and carry it around lol it's not that bad. The power brick is quite unforgiving. Oh, and I'm a lefty.
It's much easier to move your hand 5cm lower and use touchpad below keyboard, than to move whole arm to use touchpad to the right of the keyboard. Idk, maybe it's just me, because I use laptop as God intended it to be used - with no external keyboard and mouse...
Saw this happen to me and had to check down into the comments to make sure my computer didn't just die
lol
I thought my phone had finally kicked the bucket
i did the same lol
Same
same, freaked me out, I shrubbed the video and it was fine before that point, so I checked the comments to make sure it was some strange buffer issue and... I guess not.
Taran: "Oh yeah, I'm rendering, please don't mess with that!
Linus: "....."
Linus breaking things as usual. Nothing to see here!
Looks like he did, rendering atvthe end is messed up :)
Its cool, i really like the idea, even if its smaller screens. It really helps out. I feel so bad on a tiny laptop screen usually, i miss multi-tasking.
"This video..."
**skips 20 seconds immidiatly**
Who else thought, "Oh great, what's happening with my computer now?"
Sean Russell I thought my new TV broke I was going to be so mad 😭😭😭
I spilled beer the other day on my laptop and thought this was it.
I had that heart drop moment followed by laughing at this comment section.
Ye that scared the shit outta me
From the moment Linus sat in the editor's chair I knew something was gonna get fucked up.
*8:44** Linus fu*ked up the video render haha*
thats the tricky part
He can't have been rendering this video while filming this video. Time doesn't work like that, interestingly enough.
This multiple-perspective review style is really good, makes it seem much more reliable than a normal kind of review. Thanks for doing it
Pen + monstrous editing hardware + slightly gaming laptop = FUTURE
-Linus, video is rendering right now. Dont messed up.
-OK
8:43
great review! thanx guys!
I’ve been waiting for so long to watch this review. Thanks LTT!
8:44
I thought my pc was about to bluescreen omg you guys scared me
same, dude
Was in the middle of a few driver updates. Almost grabbed my windows recovery usb-stick for preperation.
I was watching on my TV and that scared me shitless
Same but on my s10e . They scare us lol
same
Linus: several people involved in the creation of the video review the episode before publication until we remove all the errors and inaccuracies
Also Linus: 8:43
Wow. Linus was speechless in the end
9:13 i can't find the vidéo about the diy ultimate NAS it is me or is the video no even online yet ?
@@tatzecom that would be a shame, though
I am going to wait through October just to confirm if Apple's MacBook Pro is IN or OUT. I would love to jump now and get the Zenbook Pro Duo. As a lifelong Mac user, this is a HUGE jump for me. But it looks like the Zenbook Pro Duo may be the best overall compromise (productive mobile workstation) available. THANKS for the review :}
Omg @ 8:44 I thought my gpu was dying! Mini heart attack lol
I got a 2nd hand RX580 and hearth attack today. It's already buggy after 1080Ti.
i though my router was f-upt, then i took playback on the video.
Someone tell me what's wrong here? I don't see anything wrong...
@5:43 Linus is asked not to screw up the render
@8:43 Three minutes later, Linus screws up the render
Amazing review guys. Well done.
Someone professional please address the issue of PWM flickering of the screen..it gives me headache 🤕
Only Linus can drop a render.
Old school Linus Glitch Tips. Such a nostalgia. Love you guys.
Don't touch the render machine Linus lol
I can guarantee you the "glitch" was intentional and produced.
@@tovsteh I totally agree with you. Those guys are awesome.
I don’t know if it was the music or the way it was delivered but this was the best hardware review from LTT I’ve ever seen. Great job! I won’t buy that laptop but I’ll probably watch this review again.
4:18 Do I spot new merch? Oh, and I like the new hair style, Taran!
8:43 RIP video. I’ll be waiting for a reupload
Is it just me or is Taran slowly becoming Bob Ross?
Happy little macros
@@Dood_ Well, you made my day, thank you
The Bob Ross of keyboards
Every key needs a happy little friend
no he's clearly Bob Ross' mortal enemy, he was mostly the negitive
Best review so far thanks guys
*Apple releases similar type of laptop a year later.
"We have revolutionized the laptop"
pisses me off
They won’t
Apple usually releases tech they feel sure about. Both touch screens and fingerprint scanners existed before Apple shipped them out, but theirs were vastly superior. For Apple it has never been tone first, but to make it better (some things, at least). Take ProMotion for example, they could've thrown 120Hz in the iPhone last year, easily... would've had same issue as the rest. That's why they aren't completely sure if iPhone 12's gonna have it this year, unless they're sure the battery life won't be cut like in Samsungs, for example.
@Rajveer i guess everybody else got a lemmon but yourself, and expert are wrong as well, huh? not even fucking Samsung has figured out how to use 120Hz all the way with killing battery, but here we have you and your stupidity and ignorance. GTFO
@@disco.lemonade damn... you IT guy or play stock?
5:44 - "Oh yeah, that I'm rendering Linus, please don't mess with that..." -Taran
8:43 - "The sp..." - Linus
Just wanted to comment the same thing, haha
LTT goals 2020:
Stopping Linus sitting on any editor desk.
4:10 "lets talk about me"
*Taran laughs in the background*
Such good background music!
I thought my Bluetooth headphones disconnected at 8:44 😂
Bro sameeeeeeeee
Yup me to bro
What are you describing?
It’s been fixed
8:43 sound is gone. Is it me or it s actual video lack of sound?
Nah it's glitched for me too 😂
Definitely something wrong with the video.
Something wrong with the upload
Linus messed with the render smh
It's the video
'Apples got some innovating to do'
Translated to 'Apple is going to claim to be the inventor'
I met the Zenbook Pro Duo at a retailer last year for the first time, and as a person who hasn't into laptops and PCs back then, the thing just blew me away. I immediately fell in love with it.
And now using the next gen but more basic model (UX482). I agree with Taran, I do Photoshop and Premiere Pro, and having an integrated second screen makes editing just a little bit enjoyable.
"I'm rendering, Linus. Please don't mess with that."
Is that what happened to the end of this video? :D
Such a deep and conceptual ending. Great work guys!
I own the first generation Zenbook with ScreenPad and I love it - I like it even more than this one, because it's more ergonomic even though the second display is smaller.
Want it! Would be so great for live event production...
Visuals, Lighting, Lasers would all be awesome on that second screen, controlling virtual faders, circular color pickers, XY pads, step sequencers etc.
Glitched video at the end, 8:48
Because Linus starting fiddling with the video Teron was working on obviously
Trying to do endings like markiplier now.
That scared the shit out of me
thought something was happening to my computer
Let's hope they didn't edit the end of the video on that laptop...
1:31 I'm calling it. They had way too much fun filming that.
no such thing as too much fun
That was fucking hilarious
Would love to see the review of the Zenbook Duo with the 1080p screen and the more portable design when that comes out!
I would love more videos focused on the "productivity" aspect of hardware
Taran has a really good screen presence! If he's willing he should totally be in more videos.
Just an FYI, he has his own UA-cam channel, just search Taran Van Hemert
@@okaywhatever2657 holy crap, I had no idea! Thanks!
Umbra watch out, its a blackhole of long videos
He used to do videos, specifically reviews on productivity-focused items and tech educational toys. He was also on Channel Super Fun a good bit. Those were the days!
Yeah, Taran is a really good personality and is experienced on this channel.
Linus: I feel like I'm forgetting something.
Editors: If you can't remember then it wasn't important.
Linus: Yeah, you're probably right.
Intro: *Sad pun-less noises*
Linus! When will laptops start coming with a power plug-in on the left AND the right side? I hate having the cord run over or under cuz the outlet is ALWAYS on the WRONG side!
Pretty cool. I'd love to see someone finally put out a dual screen laptop with no keyboard. Active digitizer on at least one screen. I know it's not for everyone, but a growing group, including myself, prefers to bring their own keyboard and mouse. This would open up so many avenues in my opinion. Portable tablet style convenience (maybe dual boot Android or sex?) but ability to open up for a full 2 monitor desktop workflow when needed.
Lmao the ending because Linus messed with the render. Also why two videos in a row didn't have the intro.
I think some people complained that an intro is "outdated" so we need to complain louder that we loved the bad puns in the intro!
He prob wanted the vid to be 10 min
I mean they were still shooting the video when he touched it so it couldn’t have been this video he screwed with...
Linus has mentioned on the WAN show that he's been thinking about phasing out the intro altogether, maybe they're experimenting to see the response.
Linus has wanted to get a new intro for a long time. I bet they’re doing this either to slowly transition into a new intro, or they decided to not have an intro at all
Am i the only one who noticed lack of intro in the beginning? Where is it?
YouDll362 forget the intro, did you see it glitching out at the end?
It's the third video they skip it. Maybe they are trying to speed it up a little bit.
Forget the intro, what the hell is going on with that ending? I guess that Linus really did fuck up the render.
@@Tom-xy7mx I hadn't actually watched till that moment when i was writting the comment. Yeah, that is quite creepy
It gives off a professional , serious vibe whenever its missing in action, while his funner chill linus videos have it and feel alit more happy and fun loving.
Important question - is that second screen will works on Linux? I planning take it for job (hacking & programming) but dont read much about and not sure how works with for example Debian Linux...
can you use the second screen as a drawing pad with the included styles?
That end bit was glitchy as anything. Scared the crap out of me
me 2 lmao
I thought my new phone just got fucked up😂
@@ElektroSSx I THOUGHTI FUCKED UP MY COMPUTER CAUSE I HAD MY LEG NEXT TO IT
Same here; didn't know if I was having a stroke, or even worse, hardware problems.
I thought my life went into a loop
4:19 the 8K quality always gets me on those zoom-ins...
nobody : .....
red owner: free zoom estate
@@royk7712 People are still doing those "nobody" comments, huh? Just when I thought those stupid things were long gone.
@@xenonram people are still being dicks for no good reason? I had hoped that was long gone
@@JoeNokers Oof
@@JoeNokers OOF
Where is that "Ultimate Performance DIY NAS" video you mention?? Cant seem to find it.
+1
+2 I want to see it also!
I also would like to find this. I rewatched the video to see if there was a link I missed.
@@cnesler me too, lol
Hey, I just wanted to see if you have a verdict on the smaller 14 inch zenbook, I was looking for a good portable laptop, thanks :)
8:44
Linus, what did Taran say about touching the computer while rendering?
Can you explain these 8:44 jokes, I can't notice anything
MG_Anon they fixed it
@@raidzor5452 what was it
@@Anon.G when the video is first launched, there is an encoding/uploading error that results in some broken images and sound. It starts at 8:44. They have now fixed the errors.
@@jimmygan6386 they probably just removed that part
0:33 - "...has been editing our videos for the past FIVE years..."
- Cuts to Taran looking disheveled, his eyes darting between the screen and keyboard like an asylum patient. 😂
* five years NON-STOP!
why does he still have to look at the keyboard?!
BAD ACTOR!!!
@@insomnia20422 still a better actor than this ua-cam.com/video/u8qgehH3kEQ/v-deo.html.
This machine is so annoying to use specially second screen
Seeing that waterfall video on the laptop makes me think a live background of a waterfall on the top and a pool with ripples on the lower screen would look pretty awesome.
Is this hi powered diy Nas build you speak of coming soon or the one for 2014? Just built a Freenas system my self out of an old pc with Amd 64 x2 and I will be posting my build on the LTT forum. Keep up the good work guys 👌🏻
Is it just me or from 8:44 and till the end, the video is corrupted?
me2
'cause Tarren told him but Linus went and messed with the render anyways
Linus touched something in DaVinci Resolve on the rendering computer, despite Taran telling him not to touch anything there.
I loved the touches your video editor added at 8:43
Hey Linus, which docking station did you guys use? does it have any flickering issue?
I got this puppy when I started studying Game Design a year ago. It has been my daily driver before the pandemic and will be again, when we can get back into the classroom this fall.
All I can say is, it is an amazing piece of hardware. For my studies I have to use Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects, Cinema 4D, Blender, Unity and much more. The extra screen and with it the extra real estate make my fellow students envy. I have so much more space to work with and can get so much faster, once I have set everything up properly. The full color range screen is also a godsent for someone who has to work with pictures and colors on a daily basis.
Plus, when we have to play a game for the studies I don't have to wait to get home to install and play it, I just do it in a working room or the cafeteria.
It is really unbelievable, how well it checks all boxes for me. Yes, it is expensive, but I'd much rather invest into a beefy working and gaming machine than in a blingy MacBook.
Does LTT have merch? I haven't heard enough about it.
I think they make headphones.
-I'm going to get an HD 6XX someday, dangit..even though I already have technically superior headphones. But the HD 650 still has unbeatable qualities, like its extremely low distortion, and balanced sound signature.-
pretty sure they sell computer stuff
They sell strictly Asus laptops and nVidia products.
Disgusting plugs.
@@odinsplaygrounds You're so dumb.. lol.... "How dare you try to sell me something while I watch you for free.... How dare you-- I'm disgusted"
Apple NEEDS to innovate since 2011...
Edit: 8:45 Linus reupload the video!
Edit: don't reupload Linus, im getting so many likes lol
@Order of the Eternal Doom lol
AUDIO FAILURE & VDIEO GLITCH
Here's another like just for more likes.
@@twoolfrx7 lol my record is 18.6 K likes on a everythingapplepro video
Lol, be careful what you ask for!
I like the background music at the end. Linus should let the editor make his own videos. He is a great speaker.
I like the calm Linus
End of the vid made me think you were making a joke.
Seems Linus did ruin that render
Heavy Stuttering starting @ 08:38 (at least for me)
im seaing it as well
Same, don’t know if that was a rendering error on their part or UA-cam fucking up
Linus messing with the rendering I guess
Dame here after the mention of the stylus...
Linus touched it while it was in render
Wow, this Zenbook looks really great. Would you recommend it over Dell XPS 15 for video editing?
6:47
That is what I was talking about in a forum about Apple products months before Apple ever launched it's iPad. A contextual entry screen with customizable menu layouts that can be mapped to keys, characters, functions and scripts. That same post was initially held back from posting by the forum moderator for fear I was leaking insider information. The concept is old, but the implementation method is newer. Sumographics and others produced large magnetic tablets and pucks in the 90's with plastic menu overlays for drafting applications like AutoCad. I see these entry screens as a superior means for applications that have dozens upon dozens of menu commands and for truly unencumbered Unicode entry. Having to press ALT and a memorized string of numbers and then pray that the font set included with the operating system is complete enough to display Pi or a checkmark glyph, assuming the functionality was turned on in the register beforehand, etc! is a technique that should have been made obsolete well over a decade ago.
you're not wrong!
Taran: is rendering the video
Linus: *I'm going to end this man's whole career*
Technically Linus would be ending his own career.
8:44 LINUS did you play eith the encoder/render!!!!???
I expected a smoother transition for the sponsor at the beginning, seeing how well the first words were said.
Presumably if its just a second screen it'll work with any OS? I can see it being useful to have a couple of terminals or simple editors at the bottom, and an IDE or the running project at the top in big.
Linus played with that render didn't he? 🤦
8:43
Alon Noiman Yeah, but it’s always more fun when he messes up. He’s a very productive person, sometimes the error correction gets dropped to increase productivity.
Am I the only one who can't find the "recent video" about the DIY file sharing NAS? Help would be appreciated.
I think they made an oopsie and it'll probably come out either later today or tomorrow.
Nope, I’m looking for it as well and can’t find it. Hopefully it comes out soon, cause I’m really interested haha.
Maybe he is referencing the "jellyfish fryer"?
ua-cam.com/video/zeAce9pofvk/v-deo.html
I can't find it either. #Fakenews
I'm too looking for that video 😑 #WhereIsTheNASVideoLinus?
Id love to see a review of the new Zenbook flip 15, which doesnt have a lot of Review in youtube :)
The epic music makes it work 👌
*Sees "Apple" and "innovation" in the same sentence*
Me: Aw shit, here we go again.

Comment: Posted 7 minutes ago

Linus riding the wave of post-Apple event traffic anyway he can. The video has nothing to do with Apple.
AWWW SHIFT, HERE WE GO AGAIN
@ It sort of does, Apples 15 inch "pro" toybooks are supposed to be for creative types, good luck with that. If you are not married to MacOS this would be far more sensible for editing photo's or video's when you are away from home base.
When you head to the comments to make a funny joke and 1.1k commenters get there before you...
1:37 When Jonny Sins enter your Room, while you are on Mission
Just brought one of these and holy molly it actually makes such a difference, i can actually work remotely now. Previously i was bringing a monitor with me every time i went away from home just so i could work with dual screens but no longer. Honestly this computer is a life changer
that hinge is genius
alright, time to add a piece of metal to my laptop
nah, you just need to peel open the bottom cover of your laptop and place in some PCB board spacing pillars to support it
We’ve seen that hinge in many laptops.
I’ve used a post it pad as a rear kickstand.
@@utubekullanicisi Yeah, I have it on my Vaio Z Flip.
Imagine actually using this laptop on your lap, though. 😬
Clever, how you introduced an Apple parallel to ride the iPhone wave. 😉😉
Hey :) can you please review the smaller version, Asus Zenbook Duo? No UA-camr has reviewed it yet, so I don't know whether to buy or not.
I'm excited to see Gen 2 in a year :) This sounds like my future laptop
not gonna lie, gen 1 is pretty frickin sweet, if you can live with 3 hr battery power (keep an outlet near by at all times xD
