Underneath the hood, the Asus ZenBook Pro Duo comes with either an Intel Core i7 or Core i9 alongside either 16GB or 32GB of DDR4 RAM. While the laptop is open though the keyboard is magnetic so the stylus will stick to it.
When the laptop is closed there is nowhere to attach the stylus to – no magnetic strip of any such thing to keep it stowed away. Maybe after a few months of using it, stick a spare AAA battery in your laptop bag just in case it runs out of battery while you are out and about. The battery life is expected to be months, but it is still disappointing that the stylus is not rechargeable. The response is accurate and without any lag with the stylus powered by a AAA battery inside. The Asus ZenBook Pro Duo also comes with an active stylus which is supported by both displays.

The webcam does include IR for Windows Hello logins and that worked as it should, without delay – I’m not sure I’d buy a webcam or laptop without this IR for easy login these days. If you think you’ll be recording using the laptop at any time I would suggest purchasing an external webcam for better quality but then that adds yet another item that you will have to lug around with you.
Zenbook pro duo 720p#
This is not a cheap laptop but instead a powerful, expensive beast of a laptop and thus deserves a 1080P webcam.ħ20P was just okay for basic video calls but if you are doing any recording while out and about 720P just won’t cut it. At a time when most manufacturers are including a 1080P webcam in their laptops Asus seem to have missed the boat and in 2022 is it inexcusable. Let’s talk about the webcam located above the display.ĭisappointingly, the webcam is just 720P – which is likely why Asus list it as a HD camera and not the actual specs. Of course, when talking about hardware with this laptop we need to talk about the displays but I will leave them to their own discussion below.
Zenbook pro duo update#
For those after a faster experience, there will be an update to this laptop this year to include an 11th Gen Intel chip and Thunderbolt 4 ports. I used them to connect to my Thunderbolt monitor and it ran it just fine without any issues. The right side, along with its air vent houses a USB 3.2 Gen 2 port and two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C/Thunderbolt 3 ports. It also has a full-sized HDMI port along with a headphone or microphone jack. I’m not a fan of numpads as they have very little to do with the way I work and the work I do so this is not a massive addition for me.Īs mentioned above, the left side of the laptop houses an air vent but wait, there’s more. While sliding on the touchpad at this time still functions as a touchpad, tapping the lights will input numbers. Asus also has included the option of turning the touchpad into a numpad by pressing and holding on the top right icon on the touchpad which brings up a touchpad in the form of lit keys on the touchpad.
It is responsive and accurate, but its size is disappointing – but I’m not sure how they could make it bigger without affecting the keyboard size which is already cramped enough. If you are relying solely on this touchpad and keyboard for your input methods, you are going to be sorely disappointed. If you are going to be using this laptop for creation though there is no doubt you would and should be using a decent mouse or external touchpad. I’m not a massive fan of that and even after using it quite a bit I found it, although accurate, uncomfortable. The touchpad is tucked to the right of the keyboard and is rotated to portrait rather than the usual landscape. Asus has included one in the box and after trying to use this laptop on my lap I decided the palm rest is required while typing for any period of time – take the included palm rest with you wherever you go. The other issue with the keyboard location is the lack of a palm rest when used as is.
Zenbook pro duo portable#
The laptop is also quite heavy so I think the term for this one should be a portable desktop rather than a laptop. This makes it difficult to type, especially if the laptop is sitting on your lap. What is uncomfortable about it is its location.įor it to be not only pushed to the bottom of the laptop but also off centre to one side to allow for the touchpad to be located somewhere. While the keyboard is slightly smaller than a normal keyboard it doesn’t feel that much smaller when using it. It sits where the keyboard would normally be and thus the keyboard is moved to the edge of the lower shelf and the touchpad tucked in next to it.
The issue with the design lies in the location of that second display.
