    I've been looking for a very thorough gaming review for this laptop, and I was glad to have stumbled on this! It didn't appear in my initial search, but it appeared in my homepage after 2 days of watching whatever videos about the Zenbook Duo 2024. I knew that CPU-wise and RAM-wise, it's a good laptop, but I was really curious on the gaming aspect (since I play milder games like DoTA 2, Valorant, and occasionally Satisfactory).
    I wonder when will these integrated graphics get as good as the lower end dedicated ones from a few years back. When it does, it'll really fulfill my dream of a thin and light, portable, functional, (+gimicky) and productivity-oriented laptop. This is getting quite close and I might look into this if they refresh it next year or the next to replace my XPS 15 9500 now.
    Thank you for the informative video!

    I'm typing my response on this very laptop. I've had it for a week now and I'm actually pretty blown away at all that I got for the $$. You mentioned it was 2500 euros but I didn't pay anywhere near that here in the states. I got the tricked out model from B&H Photo (same price at CDW) for 1585.00 euros ($1699.99 USD). I don't know if the price has come down significantly or if it's just more expensive wherever you got this (Australia? UK?)
    Excellent review. Very thorough. My experience has been exactly as your review states. An amazing amount of horsepower, features, and utility for $1700 USD.

    • @Techtablets
      @Techtablets  День тому

      Great to hear that, yes I think it's an amazing laptop especially with that dual screen for using with video editing has been amazing for me. As for the price it's what I was given for the top spec model 9 185H and max storage but it seems they dropped that pricing very quickly which is just as well. Great price you got!

    I just received mine. I bought the I9 version with 32GB. Last year I bought the Lenovo. Compared to the ASUS, last years Lenovo was slow with a low powered CPU and less memory and SSD size. THis one is a huge improvement. I am not a gamer but I use my laptops for stock trading and analysis. THe extra monior on the road is a huge win. Not using a handicapped CPU is a big win. Having a small lightweight charger for a road warrior is incredible.

    this thing has EVERYTHING I am looking for. 32GB RAM, and 2 TB SSD. New core ultra chips, icing on the cake is dual screen. now if the battery life can double what I get with my surface pro 7 I will be buying one. I currently get about 4 hours of life on battery with my SP7. I usually has either VScode, or Rstudio open, along with email, youtube, google search, and claude3,gpt3.5, and/or gemini. I love my SP7 but the battery life really kills me. I have to bring my charger and a power brick with me wherever I go because of battery anxiety.

    • @Techtablets

      Well light work and the screen (just one) at 30% it's 10 hours so really good. But using both screens at 3k 120hz it's half that. But that charger is tiny so not really a big issue to take it with you.

    I've been using a Gigabyte Aero since 2019 (upgraded to newer model in 2020) and this laptop is very interesting to me as my next upgrade. The only thing that's missing is a dedicated GPU. I personally am not looking for a super-small laptop so I'd be willing to trade some weight and thickness for something that has a massively better GPU. My laptop has an RTX 3070 in it that can run Red Dead 2 at 4K and it plays great. For this, I wouldn't be opposed to docking to an external GPU, but that's a cost I'd like to avoid. Still though, the dual screen and the way Asus put it all together looks very compelling. Will definitely consider this one.

    Would you say that the *Core Ultra 7* variant would a better pick for long-term battery health and heat management? considering the lesser-resolution screen and less-intensive chip on the base model that should perhaps take a lesser toll on the battery and system.
    And do you know if there's a way to switch it to Windows 11 Pro? Their site says that that's what ASUS recommends but they don't seem to give you an option to do it.

    • @Techtablets
      @Techtablets  3 місяці тому +1

      The chipset would make much of a difference to battery life but the lower Res screens definitely would give battery life improvements over the top spec model here.

    Is there something wrong with the Arc GPU driver or the wattage perhaps? This Core Ultra 9 should be stronger than the Core Ultra 7 which (correct me if I'm wrong) seems to perform similar to the mobile Ryzen 78XX APUs.
    edit: I just went back and checked some other vids and it looks like the 7840HS (etc) outperforms these Core Ultra chips, but still it seems a bit too low.

In the asus system setting app i put 8gb allocation to the arc GPU & the fan speed option to performance mode with the AC power and was able to really play all current games on high setting with few tweaks in graphics setting of the games including cyberpunk 2077 on high settings with ray tracing off. Quite impressive tbh. Having a 65W powerbank with me i actually don't have any issues with this lol

    Sorta disagree regarding the price. It keeps getting brought up when comparing the price to other normal laptop, but this thing has to include a whole extra high res OLED panel, as well as the extra complexity of a detachable and standalone keyboard/trackpad. Honestly I've been impressed with the price they can sell these at, the Ultra 7 spec is $1500 which feels fair
