Title: Dual Monitor Laptops are the Future of Productivity!
Review: I had seriously considered the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i last year as I've long wanted a dual monitor laptop. However, I could never pull the trigger, partially due to the cost, but mainly because the "stand" and keyboard solution Lenovo came up with seemed to be just as cumbersome to travel with as a second monitor would be. What I had really wanted was a dual monitor laptop with the keyboard stowed in-between the screen like Lenovo did with their X1 foldable, and with a built-in kickstand. Just waiting one more year after the Yoga Book 9i came out allowed me to purchase this ASUS Zenbook Duo 2024.My model is the "lower" end Core i7 with 16GB RAM and 1080p monitors. For my purposes, the i7 and 16GB RAM are plenty, as is the 1080p resolution. I'm not even sure why the higher end model has such high resolution displays, as the screens are only 14" so 1080p is plenty for me, while 3K displays on such a small footprint means more battery drain pushing all those additional pixels. The additional cost is worth it if you need the RAM and higher speed processor, though I'd still lower the resolution to 1080p had I purchased that model.Regarding build quality, I did not buy in the first production run, (which didn't even include this model as far as I can tell) and I have zero complaints. No creaking, ill-fitting, or unproperly spaced components. It feels extremely solid and well made. If there were early production-run QA issues it seems that they've been addressed by ASUS at this point. The laptop is on the heavier side, but for what it includes it is well worth it, and still significantly lighter than carrying a laptop along with a second monitor.Upon receiving and booting up the laptop there were definitely some software quirks related to the displays, (they wouldn't properly rotate when the physical orientation changed). However, I went in to Windows Update and had it download all new updates, which also came with new ASUS drivers and that fixed the rotation related issues I was having while also making the system run much more smoothly. Obviously the system was manufactured some time ago while software development has continued, (and still continues). I had expected some Windows-related issues as this is a new form factor, but other than the first rotation bug, it's been pretty seamless and you can just use the second display exactly like you would any other second display - it is just built in!The keyboard solution is great, as is the keyboard itself. No compromises here and all keys register quickly and easily, whether docked or on Bluetooth. I'm quite happy with the keyboard and trackpad, and when using it in regular laptop mode, (with just the top display) you'll easily forget that there's a second display underneath.Opening up the laptop and propping it up with the built-in kickstand is a game changer. Everything you need, (with the exception of an external mouse) is built right into the machine. You can carry it all with you in a compact and relatively lightweight package. If you are the kind of person whose work benefits significantly by having a second display, this is a form factor you should highly consider.I am also quite pleased with the quality of the displays themselves. They get plenty bright for outdoor use, (I used them outside for a week on a recent trip to Grenada) and "pop" with bright colors while being easy to read in just about any environment. These seem to be quite high quality panels, which I would expect given the price, but you never know.I can't really comment much on system performance as all of my work is browser based, but I can say that it is extremely snappy with dozens of open tabs and at least four applications running side by side across the two open displays. If you're running Photoshop, editing CAD drawings, or other CPU/RAM intensive programs I'd probably just opt for the higher-end model as it is only a few hundred dollars more. Still, for my use, this model has been fantastic and a significant performance upgrade over my previous 2021 laptop.Overall I am extremely happy with this purchase. The ability to have a second display is crucial for my business, and working without one adds a significant amount of time to any task I need to complete. In many cases my work is very time sensitive, and I value my time highly, so this is the perfect solution. I am excited to see how ASUS continues to innovate on this idea.

Title: Great for prductivity if you understand what you're getting
Review: If you tend to work in multiple locations ad hoc and need the convenience of multiple displays, that laptop will give you a flexibility that beats carrying a standard laptop plus an external portable display. When it's closed or used with one screen only, it is just like any other laptop. Working with stacked displays vs. side by side will take a bit of an adjustment (I am usually not a fan of manufacturer software on PCs but Asus utility to manage the multiple screens does help quite a lot). When propped up, the stand does feel very sturdy but it is a table top situation, not a knees / couch situation. If you want to use it in multiple screens mode in a plane, you'll need a business class seat on an international trip... the footprint is not small!Another review mentions the keyboard not standing flat on the bottom display. I did notice that for the first few hours but it eventually fixed itself surprisingly and now the keyboard has no flex and feels very good. The keyboard battery when used in bluetooth mode is not great (4 hours-ish), so drop a short USB cable in your bag. The displays are excellent. The speakers are OK (Dolby Atmos but not much bass). The performances are excellent too (better be based on specs). The touchpad is good, not great but it's large and very serviceable. . The battery life is good for what it is... It is rated for 8 hours of dual screen uses and I doubt it will come close very often, but then again, my only test was to watch a video on the top screen and browsing with multiple tabs on the bottom screen and I must have been close to 6 hours. Acceptable in my book, you shouldn't get that laptop for its battery life, that's not the point.If you know how you want to use it, especially considering the price, this is a solid buy.

Title: Most impressive
Review: I am a daily MacBook Pro user. Here is my biased assessment. PROS: I am impressed with this laptop. It is very well built. The dual 3K screens are very bright. The GeekBench 6 score is 12,700 which beats my M1 MacBook Pro. It feels very fast. The keyboard is very light and works well. I can connect this laptop to my dual LG Ultrafine displays using the dual Thunderbolt ports. It will power one of the Ultrafine displays at 5K but will power them both if the resolution is set to 4K. So I get 4 screens connected in this configuration. The screen navigator detects all 4 screens and allows apps to be sent to any display easily. CONS: A few times I've had to restart the laptop to get it to recognize both LG displays. I don't know how long the battery on the keyboard/trackpad will last. It appears to only run a 4 or 5 hours on a full battery but it accepts USB-C power. I recommend this laptop. It is my favorite piece of hardware. Using dual 3K screens is a game changer. It makes this laptop a pleasure to use.

Review: Me tardo en llegar mas de lo esperado, y el portátil va con mucho lag, se supone que tiene el procesador mas rápido pero se traba en muchas aplicaciones y mas cuando se usa la doble pantalla, creo le falta optimización a la computadora, esperaba mejor rendimiento por el precio y por lo que se supone ofrece.
