With a 16-thread Core i9-9980HK processor, a generous 32GB of RAM, and a roomy (and speedy) 1TB Samsung SSD, our review configuration of the Zenbook Pro Duo was well-equipped for productivity tasks.

And there’s just no denying the wow factor of maximizing a Web browser across both screens, going to a favorite visually appealing site, and scrolling with your finger or a mouse, watching content spill from the 4K upper screen onto the lower ScreenPad Plus.ġ5.6 inch 4K (3840 x 2160) OLED HDR touchscreen15.6 inch 3840 x 1100 ScreenPad Plus It’s also nice for media creation, letting you keep various workspaces or tools within easy visual reach, and bring out the included Asus Pen stylus (more on that later) for some light sketch work and/or fine-tuned media manipulation.
The setup can be handy for gaming, letting you put a chat app and maybe a YouTube walkthrough video below your game and at your fingertips.

I noticed this menu, for instance, didn’t pop up with Adobe Premiere Elements.īoth the placement and size of the second screen and the software that Asus includes to help you use it are the best I’ve seen on a dual-screen laptop. This menu doesn’t work for all programs, though. There’s also a floating menu that pops up when you’re moving a program or window around that lets you instantly add it to the ScreenPad display, maximize it across both screens (which is particularly fun for surfing the web), or pin it to the ScreenPad launcher.
Additionally, you can choose to snap two or three programs across the ultra-wide aspect ratio of the ScreenPad Plus. You can drag programs here so that they automatically launch on the ScreenPad rather than the primary display, tap to switch applications instantly between the upper and lower display, and save groups of programs in a particular layout, so that once you settle on a workspace that works well for you, you can get back to it with a couple of taps. Over on the right edge, you’ll find a Thunderbolt 3 (Type-C) port, a headphone/mic combo jack, and another USB 3.1 Gen 2 port.Ī ScreenPad Plus launcher hides along the left edge of the lower screen, and can be slid out by tapping a persistent translucent button. The left edge houses the power connector, an HDMI 2.0 port, and a USB 3.1 Gen 2 port. While Asus managed to pack a lot into the Duo’s reasonably svelte frame, the port selection suffers heavily from the fact that the laptop has vents on both sides. But still, there’s room for improvement, and not just when it comes to the second screen. Once you actually start integrating the second screen into your workflow (more on that later), it becomes more of a tool and less of a flashy feature. It’s likely that Asus had very few options in sourcing a 3840 x 1100 panel, but on a laptop this visually impressive (and monetarily pricey), the mis-matched screens are tough to ignore-at least at first.

Take a look at this example screen shot and more after the jump.In short, while I love the fact that the second screen runs across the entire width of the laptop, which is handy for housing multiple windows or, say, the timeline of a video editing app, the screens don’t mesh well together. Luscious textures, amazing lighting effects, and gorgeous colors. All in all, Zen Bound will be the app to show-off the iPad. Not only are there nearly nine times the beautiful pixels of this game, there are some new game play mechanics to enjoy. It's the same gameplay we know and love from Zen Bound, but there's more to love. We got a chance to see a near final build at GDC this year, running in the simulator. Inventive, amazing, and eye-poppingly beautiful. Cover the object in paint before the rope runs out. When the rope touches the piece, it spreads paint to the object. The goal is to cover a 3D piece of some kind with a rope that has been soaked in paint. While the game itself is more than peculiar, it's a wonderful puzzle game. Possibly the most beautiful we'll ever see. Definitely the most beautiful we'll see at launch. So I'm just going to go ahead and call this - Zen Bound 2 is the most beautiful iPad game available. Zen Bound from Secret Exit on the iPhone was the most beautiful mobile game we've ever seen.
