Should you buy the Asus Zenbook Duo? How about the Yoga Book 9i?

Once again proving that you’re the most trustworthy laptop reviewer on YouTube. Thank you!

Thank you for being the only channel mentioning the ergonomic benefit of these dual-screen laptops! I've been sick of no one talking about how all other laptops make me crane my neck to look at the screen!

As a former Samsung Galaxy Fold owner who left the bandwagon for the current LG V50 with its detachable Dual Screen case, I can easily vouch that dual display turns out to be far more practical than foldable screen. One of the biggest perk with dual display is that I never have to worry about app incompatibility. Not all apps are developed for larger screens and can't do screen splitting.

It's the same story when I tried out both Lenovo X1 Fold and Lenovo Yoga Book 9i. I have more problem using apps/softwares in the X1 Fold than in the Yoga Book 9i. The only thing I would complain about the Yoga Book 9i is the keyboard. Missing out the trackpad is a deal breaker.

Regarding the Lenovo Yogabook 9i: You can fold the origami stand reverse, this allows a steeper angle in book mode. Thank you for this very informative video ❤

Here in the U.S, I got the Zenbook duo. It has 3200 x 1800 resolution screen, Intel Core Ultra 9 185H, included a backpack, and the Asus pen 2.0. Maybe international units don’t come with it, but it matches what you got with the yoga, except for the mouse, which I’m sure people replaced with a bigger one. Mine was $1699.99 usd.

I got the ASUS Duo and the displays were beautiful. It has VRR options which was never advertised and I was happy about. Battery was pretty terrible even running just one of the screens though, so I look forward to a snapdragon version of it or next years intel. I ended up sending it back because if you press on the bottom screen when using it as a track pad or keyboard (physical on top or virtual) it made a cracking noise, even though the screen itself was not damage in any way. Gaming on it was pretty awful (895 cpu) - I had hoped for something similar to a 7840u/780M but it didn't even achieve that.

thanks for a great review as usual. note that my asus zenbook duo did include the stylus. I use it at the table in the elevated position with the keyboard left on the lower display. You can tap out short searches or whatever when needed and still have the upper display positioned at that super comfortable spot. Of course, a laptop stand would do the same, but...

Love that you guys reviewed the x1 fold

As someone who has been holding out for a dual screen or folding tablet-style device for years now, the only way I would purchase one is if someone finally comes out with the proper aspect ratio, especially for the folding screen - - - the single folding screen needs to be 2560 x 1920 (4:3), which makes the screen in laptop mode 1920 x 1280 (3:2) with at least a 12.5 or 13 inch diagonal size. It is the only way I would consider one, and a backlit keyboard is another requirement. The same size and aspect ratio requirement would go for the dual screen devices.

I think this would solve the majority of the issues you mentioned in your review - larger keyboard, more space for battery, and proposal better sound. I'll never understand why these always comes with an Intel CPU instead of AMD, which perform better at less wattage and less heat. Maybe the next Gen will include some AMD Strix Point alternatives?

7:03 that was like those infomercials that had people who just couldn’t figure out that storing 10, 000 Tupperware containers in an above-head-height cupboard was a bad idea

[IMueTz]

That is by far the best review of the duo books I've seen so far. Thumbs up for honesty and showing the weak sides of these devices aswell! When you say 'light gaming', do you mean light games like League of Legends or do you mean light sessions playing light games like LoL only for a short time and not for a whole bunch of hours?

I just subscribed to your channel. I love what you’re doing. Keep up the good work!!! I hope I made your dear mother proud.

Just commented on another vid but I love this channel, literally my go to source for getting my new laptop!

My father has been using the Asus duo for some months now. He uses it for trading on the go and he is incredibly happy with it. The only issue it had is the trackpad became loose and it doesnt work properly anymore

[JayDee-bu]

Thanks Josh. I had been waiting for a meaningful review on these laptops.

[angrytrader]

It's a shame the Zephyrus duo was discontinued. I have one from 2022 with none of the build problems others experienced. I guess there isn't a high-end gaming laptop with dual screens.

I chose yoga 9i over asus, asus does not feel worth it, and it scares me to own it for next 5 years. Having used yoga 9i for 6 months now. Here are some more issues that needs improvement:
1. The software used to make touch screen keyboard has a lots of bugs. It sometimes lags, the widget bar does not function fully. Outlook still does not load.
2. The laptop just does not gives confidence to use as carry on or on lap mode. I struggle to operate it on lap. However the dual screen mode bets is very productive and gives good keyboard and neck support.
3. The lower graphics configuration gets you when using heavy application like AutoCAD
4. Windows is not designed for dual screen laptops yet. Switching and dragging applications is still a task.

Hi there! The clearest review I have seen for this laptop so far - this answered a lot of my queries - thanks a lot :). I’m tempted to buy the asus zen book duo because of its cool ergonomic quirks- I use my laptop for a lot of research and film viewing so it’s processing power shouldn’t be a problem. One question though- how did you find its structural integrity? I am terribly clumsy and all my past laptops have never lasted more than three years as they have always gotten bashed up to the point their performance takes a hit. Trying to change this habit and will make sure I get a solid case and the warranty, but thought it’s worth looking into mabye potentially sturdier counterparts- what do you reckon its competitors are? Thanks

This is the most detailed review I have ever watched on YouTube. You can really tell he used and abused them to get this much info on them❤
