This laptop is easily the best I have ever owned. That second screen is transforming how I work. I am a programmer who spends their day in Visual Studio, so being able to move some tool windows to the second screen and use the primary screen for just code gives me a lot more room to work with.I had some starting pains with it though. It refused to install Windows 10 Update 2004 through Windows Update and would stop halfway through. I collected logs and did my own research on the error which was related to drivers. Since the only drivers installed were those that came with the laptop, I was forced to contact Asus support. What a joke these people are. They are obviously trained to follow a script and only have access to the same articles you do on the website. So if you already researched the problem yourself, don't even bother with them because you aren't going to get any additional help. I asked them to escalate and accept my Windows update log to determine the problem but they would not. The first representative even disconnected me twice after not being able to offer a solution. Luckily, Windows Update 20H2 came out the very day I was reattempting to install 2004, and version 20H2 installed properly, thankfully.Back to the actual laptop. It isn't nearly as heavy as I was afraid it was going to be. I think it is like 5.5 lbs. I had a gaming laptop once that was almost 10 lbs and THAT was unmanageable. It remains cool when you increase the fan speed (there is a dedicated button for the fan speed on the keyboard or you can do it from the Asus app).The second screen is awesome, as well as the included software for making the best use of that screen. The software allows you to dock applications, automatically resize windows, and perform a variety of other functions to maximize productivity. It is surprisingly well-thought-out and designed and I haven't had any problems with it.The only wish I have is that the screen would tilt more toward me instead of facing upward. There is another version of this laptop geared for gaming that has an adjustable second screen that tilts a bit, and I assume the next version of this laptop will have one, too. I am waiting for a laptop stand to arrive that will allow me to position the laptop up a bit on an incline so I can see the second screen better.The 4K resolution and screen quality is fantastic. Clear visuals all the way. The main screen is glossy while the second screen is matte, which is a bit weird. I probably would have liked the main screen to be matte as well, but that's okay. The sound is meh... nothing too special.Overall, I am extremely pleased with this laptop now that I was able to get all Windows updates applied. Hopefully, I will never need Asus support in the future. I purchased an extended warranty just in case because I assume repairs on this thing will be expensive. Highly recommended laptop.

I recently got my hands on the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo UX581, and I must say, it's been quite the delightful experience! This laptop has brought a whole new level of joy to my computing life, and I can't help but share my cheerful thoughts about it.First and foremost, let's talk about that screen - oh my goodness, it's a stunner! The display on the ZenBook Pro Duo is nothing short of vibrant. The colors pop, and the images come to life with incredible clarity. Whether I'm watching a movie, working on graphic design projects, or just browsing the web, the screen never fails to impress. It's like a burst of sunshine every time I open the laptop.What's even more fantastic is how effortlessly this computer operates. It's a testament to the quality ASUS brings to their products. Everything runs smoothly, and multitasking feels like a breeze. The power under the hood of the ZenBook Pro Duo is definitely top-notch.Now, here's the cherry on top of the cake - I was fortunate enough to snag a used one, and it arrived in pristine condition. No defects, no scratches; it was like it just rolled off the assembly line. It's a testament to the durability of this laptop.Of course, there's one tiny hiccup in my otherwise euphoric experience - the stylus was missing when I received it. But hey, I'm not letting that dampen my spirits. I'm sure I can get a replacement without much trouble, and honestly, the overall package of the ZenBook Pro Duo more than makes up for it.In conclusion, the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo UX581 is a great laptop that's brought a lot of cheer into my tech-loving heart. The vibrant screen, top-quality performance, and its impeccable condition (minus the stylus, of course) make it a laptop I can't help but smile about. If you're in the market for a fantastic laptop, this one should definitely be on your radar. Happy computing!

I'm a huge fan of the 2nd Screen. The Specs are fantastic, and the software for screen snapping is surprisingly good.I've never been so excited about a new computer... but the keyboard placement is making me consider a return... It's really slowing down my typing speed and comfort when using it on my lap (which is where i use my laptop most)However, it's very wierd typing on this device while it's sitting on my lap. The wrist-rest accessory would have been great, but it doesnt snap onto the laptop in anyway. So it doesnt stay on a desk, and cant be used while on your lap.The ASUS software for the 2nd screen is nice... The Task Group feature is smart, but you can only have 4 groups. and it doesnt remember which website you set to google chrome windows. So, when you want to have 3 different web apps on the bottom screen, it just gives you 3 fresh browsers instead.

I bought this Laptop for a home recording studio to multi task and to bring it on the road and so far the Asus Zenbook pro duo has been solid right out of the box! I'm not a fan of the blue and wish it was all black...but it is, what it is. The main screen is beautiful and bright images look fantastic. The second screen has a flat finish and works great for multi tasking. An awesome laptop so far...will start to load it up with music DAW and pound it with plugins and really test drive the capabilities!! But so far, solid Asus!!

I was hesitant about this laptop, but the negative reviews seemed to be mostly user issues, or QA-related, and I have no problems dealing with unhappy hardware -- I figured if it was having problems out of the box, it'd be going back.So far, it was a good call. The screens are gorgeous, the machine is more than snappy, and while it weighs every bit as much as I expected, it's manageable. The biggest downsides I've found are the short battery life (again, expected, given the specs) and the heat generated, even when not 3D gaming. Also, 16GB is a little slim for RAM these days. Still, it runs every game I've thrown at it at full graphics settings, and while it runs slightly hotter than the Dell Latitude 5400 I'd been using previously, it's no louder and a heck of a lot more powerful. I'm calling it a win.

Ist halt amerikanische (englische) Tastatur. Hab auf Deutsch umgestellt und deutsche Tastatur gekauft und einbauen lassen (ca. 60,00€). Immer noch günstiger als hier gekauft. Sonst alles super...Klang/Lautstärke, Grafik. Super Gerät und Qualität. Bin sehr zufrieden und hoffe, ich werde nicht enttäuscht im weiteren Verlauf.Wie gesagt, bis hierher top!

The touchscreen works great, I really like that second screen being a matte finish since it goes way better to write with the pen than the glossy primary screen. It is quite slim for the power it packs but it might be a little heavier than your average notebook. I got it $750 off and jumped on the offer right away and I don't regret it. I can run all my favorite games with very high quality even if it is not a gaming laptop. The only downside I would have to say is that there is no ethernet port on this laptop, you are only limited to 2 usb ports and one USB-c port, the mouse pad/number pad may be a little fidgety sometimes and the batterie life isn't the best but overall it's a great laptop. And on top of that I got it 3 days earlier than expected.

If I could give this item zero stars, I would! The item was an Amazon Warehouse Deal, which arrived defective and the Screen Pad Plus, second screen was non-functional. The item was discounted from $2999.99 to $2789.99, and for the hassle of trying to save a few hundred bucks, I had to waste many hours going through the rigamaroll of unboxing, setting it up, and then reboxing, and delivering to a UPS depot.I called Asus for support, and was told by the customer service agent, after waiting on hold for 45 minutes to speak to a live person, that she'd send me an email with the manual. I indicated that I waited on hold for a while, and was owed an explanation of what could be done to troubleshoot this. The ASUS customer service agent was rude and abrasive, and had no interest in dealing with the problem. It was an utter complete waste of time, and at the end, the ASUS customer service agent hung up on me while I was speaking to her.Not only is that rude and unprofessional, but it shows that customers should think twice before buying an ASUS product, because if you have a problem and need assistance with a very expensive purchase, you're only going to get an abrasive, rude, agent who doesn't care.STAY AWAY FROM ASUS PRODUCTS UNLESS YOU WANT A HASSLE AND NON-EXISTENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!
