The Asus Zenbook Pro Duo represents a massive change in laptop design. It's the first laptop I've featured on Unbox Therapy to include a useful, ultra-wide secondary display above the keyboard. The Zenbook Pro Duo is a surprisingly polished product considering it's ambitiousness from a design perspective. Are we ready for a dual screen laptop future?

Alright, so this is exciting. I saw this thing featured, I guess it was at Computex recently and amazingly it's on the desk already
0:15
This is of course the Asus ZenBook Pro Duo. It's a dual screen laptop. We've talked about these various screen implementations
0:24
This is this new modern take on what a laptop could be, might be
0:28
Let's take a look at it. Plus, apparently they're giving you horsepower too, so..
0:34
I'm gonna put that down for a minute. There's a pen also included. So the screen is going to have pen input
0:41
Also, this little wrist rest. Now the power adapter, pretty large, but..
0:46
The specs on this thing, my understanding, the specs are kind of powerhouse specs
0:51
So this one in front of me has a 9th gen Intel Core i9, and it also has GTX 2060 graphics
0:57
That's pretty wild for something with two displays. 4K UHD OLED main display and then LCD on the smaller display above the keyboard
1:05
Oh my goodness gracious, this is wild. Okay, Thunderbolt 3 over here
1:09
Type C connector. We have a headphone jack, a traditional USB port over there
1:14
HDMI port, DC in, and then another traditional USB. Also looks like these are the speaker grills which, that's kind of a nice location for stereo separation
1:23
Looks like there's a grill there and a grill over on this side as well. Whoa
1:29
It elevates the deck of the of the laptop for cooling purposes so the fans, if you take a look here on the bottom of the device
1:37
You've got the keyboard, chiclet style, down here at the very bottom part of the laptop deck
1:44
Now over here on the right is where your track pad lives, it is glass And you're gonna have to figure out the trade-off, right
1:50
Obviously you're getting this giant display in here So that might be worthwhile for you, like I don't care where the trackpad is in exchange for that
1:59
Yeah, we're in. Whoa, that is strange. Look at this. It's kind of cool. It's like one continuous display here
2:08
And apparently the reason for LCD on the bottom portion even though you have OLED on the top is because it cuts the reflections This section down here is very matte
2:18
And look at that! It's magic. Whoa, that is so weird. There's Kawhi right there
2:24
Raps' run has cost McDonald's millions in fries? Raptors' Kawhi Leonard put McDonald's on the hook for $5.4 million and counting in free fries
2:33
McDonald's franchises in eastern Canada finalized a sponsorship deal with the team for a free fry program
2:39
18 days before DeMar DeRozan was traded 2 million orders of medium-sized french fries
2:45
Clocking in at 5.4 million dollars of free fries Jack, are you going in for free fries or what
2:52
Look at that, I'm reading off the second display here Can I do this? Okay Take a tab, drag it up there
2:57
Now I got two, I'm double browsing immediately, just like that It doesn't have to be just a browser
3:02
it's not just about having more than one window, it's also about multiple applications
3:07
Okay, fine. CorelDRAW. Oh, wow. Actually, by default, opening it up, the tools go down here
3:12
Are you seeing this? And this is touchscreen, so I can just ruby red. Light yellow
3:17
So let me get the pen out. Might as well. So touchscreen on the top and also on the bottom
3:24
So now you got the tools, you got the palette. You're up here, you're down here
3:28
See that? What do you know about that? You never saw anything
3:34
Got the game playing over here. And then up top I'm just browsing, you know
3:39
I'm just reading. Bradley Cooper. He's getting split up. Bradley Cooper. People are going gaga
3:46
Oh Jack, speaking of body language, look at that. He's not impressed with the dual screen laptop
3:52
This is cool! Look at this! You're browsing! You're tweeting! I have the game over here
4:00
I got Bradley Cooper And I got and then I can also draw Bradley Cooper
4:09
I'm sketching because I'm looking at the real Bradley Cooper and look the pens working everywhere. This is futuristic Jack
4:15
It's fun. It's different if you really got to get work done You just go with this one and you typing out the emails Jack I multitasking You don understand this laptop also very powerful gaming capable oh my goodness so with the thunderbolt 3 you can also output dual 4k video signals so you
4:36
could get real wild with it intel core i9 i think is the one that i have here that's i9 9980 you get
4:43
an i7 32 gigs of ram the display up top 15.6 inch oled so that's 3840 by 2160 up top one terabyte
4:54
pcie ssd the screen pad plus is 14 inch also 4k 3840 by 1100 close to two 4k displays in a package
5:06
that folds up flat harman kardon audio system endorsed does that mean much we'll find out
5:11
yesterday's show speculated on what google was gonna say today you know why it's pretty wild
5:18
having oled on a laptop there's way more color the blacks very deep i like having a panic and just
5:24
i mean oled's just impossible to beat this is why it took over the whole smartphone universe and now
5:29
it's making its way into laptops including innovative unusual ones you know moving windows
5:36
around being able to just have an extra spot for it it's kind of i mean that's compelling on its own
5:44
jack take a look dude can you imagine you can't even handle all that multitasking
5:50
that's your future right there you're not getting enough information right now
5:55
you need a video you need kawaii leonard you need bradley cooper you need lou later and what's this
6:02
up here inside the private item well you should come in here for this i know you got a lot to say
6:07
round of applause for willie do because this thing's not even out yet all the videos is just
6:11
like people that were at computex and then willie do was like oh oh lou would you want you want that
6:18
in the studio because no big deal like shout out to ryan he's the one who helped me with it are you
6:24
yeah i don't want to give all the credit to myself it's actually mostly him you're giving
6:30
Ryan some credit? Yeah, man. He grinded it out It not often that a company gonna send out something early in know so and for the record we kind of interpreting it through that lens because it not out on the market yet it an
6:47
early look i think they really knocked it out i mean with this ambitious design like this is a
6:54
powerhouse as well top top tier specs i mean this is really cool this is honestly i feel like this
7:01
could be the start of like a new line of laptops start of something special second screen yeah
7:07
what do you think about the keyboard you know it's your chiclet style more travel than a macbook but
7:12
though you don't want to get me started on keyboards well look at that right there i think
7:16
it's really cool man they didn't tell us anything about price did they it's got to be expensive no
7:21
no price availability yet no price how much do you think well it's got to be over 2gs for sure
7:26
okay yeah i think so too yeah 20 it might even be close to three it might be that's an ultra wide
7:33
monitor down there i would say the only thing i think people might be critical of or not like is
7:38
the trackpad being on the right right since this is in my opinion it's in desktop replacement
7:43
territory like it's probably going to be in a single place or like two or three places yeah
7:48
the idea of a mouse here probably comes into play yeah exactly typical asus but it has some weight
7:54
to it i mean it's two and a half kilos yeah it's pretty heavy it's two and a half kilos but again
7:58
for this spec list that's not that unusual they're they're trying they're trying something different you can't knock on them for that so
8:07
good for them you know um well end it it's a pretty nice laptop i think it might be actually the future
8:18
this one in particular is for a lot of people i mean you said it yourself could be for gamers
8:24
could be for content creators. So yeah, check it out. Done. What you think, man
