ASUS ZenBook Duo 14 UX482 14” FHD NanoEdge Touch Display, Intel Evo Platform, Core i7-1165G7, 8GB RAM, 512GB PCIe SSD, Innovative ScreenPad Plus, Windows 10 Home, Celestial Blue, UX482EA-DS71T

Hi Guys,This review is after just having the Asus UX482EA, 14”, FHD, i7-1165G7, 8GB RAM, 512 SSD, for two days. I really wanted to have the 16GB version, but that was hard to find. What I wanted to do on this laptop is basic office stuff, Word, Excel, PPT, internet searching. The heaviest work would be reviewing high school football film. A little streaming. I am not a gamer. Pretty safe for the 8GB model. So, I just went for it. I think I was in the mood for something revolutionary. In short, I love this thing! I was debating between the Dell XPS 13” and this one. They have different applications, and I would have been happy with either one. I just wanted something different and not the standard clam shell, open it up and use laptop. This second screen set up is more than a gimmick and becomes particularly useful. The reason why I am posting this is for the external monitor question/answers that were minimal. I was able to hook up a 27” external monitor via the HDMI port. Like I did with my previous Asus Q324u 14”. Windows identified the external as a #3 display (Yeah!). This is great for me for breaking down game film. I have zero complaints really. Just the adjustments like in previous posts. You must move to the left a little bit to reposition for the keyboard and you have to get used to the touchpad on the far right. It is not so much the touchpad, but the left/right “mouse keys” on the far right. I, like most would be, am used to the pad at center point. So, invariably I keep hitting the space bar instead. Absolutely not a deal breaker. I am getting used to it and use a separate mouse anyway. The graphics, screen brightness (almost too bright at max setting), board keys, speaker sound, battery life are more than adequate for me. Also has a USB 3.2, so I do not have to carry a hub with me. But has the USB-C if I do! This unit (again with 8GB) was $300 less than the XPS and I got it in three days. After all the shopping and researching overkill! I'm super happy with this one! Maybe I'm too easy to please? I hope this helps someone out there!3.31.21 Had this thing for almost 4 weeks. Still love it. Addressing some comments about the hard to see second screen plus or that you have to look over the top. I just found a $10 angled laptop stand on Amazon. Easy fix or adjustment. see added pic. for what its worth.5.22.21 Update: Still love the thing. I'm with the posts that think the Duo is a fingerprint magnet. To address it, I put on a carbon skin designed for a Dell. Trimmed it down and here we go. Corrects my fingerprint OCD. note: I lifted the "Dell carbon circle". Now I have a teal blue spot on my lid. Just to be different.

This laptop is literally the best decision and money I've ever spend. I'm so happy I bought this and didn't waste my money on a mac book pro. This laptop has some many more advantages I don't know where to start,lol. touchscreen, 2 screens that you can use separately, superfast, comes with pen unlike the Microsoft, graphics are great, good sound, every type of port you need, super-fast 3d rendering, looks sexy , the only thing I don't like has nothing to do with the actual laptop but more the program , unfortunately it cant connect to your phone if you have a iPhone when trying to pair them on the connect my phone option . Other then that little issue this laptop has not only surpassed every expection i had it shattered them, its gona take a lot to top this baby ...........

I love it

Realmente demoró mucho en llegar hasta mi país el equipo, tenía mis miedos y recelo de saber equipo funcionaría y si realmente iba a ser útil, apenas lo he tenido cuatro días y es una máquina excepcional, nunca me había pensado lo útil que es tener dos pantallas realmente me facilita mucho en mi trabajo y eso que no es nada en edición si no simplemente trabajar documentos y entretenimiento. Realmente estoy muy feliz con la compra en lápiz funciona muy bien para coger notas para que funcione como un Mouse incluso el pad realmente resulta un poco incómodo pero es útil yo en vez hubiera eliminado el pad y dejaba un teclado más grande, ya que si es cierto que en uso constante cansa mucho las muñecas pero de ahí si me preguntan si valió la pena incluso por el precio ya que es alto, yo digo que si vale la pena es un gran equipoLos contra luego de un mes de uso, la batería es mal realmente cuando esta sin enchufar y funcionando las dos pantallas el máximo es de 5 horas Asus miente al decir que funcionara 17 horas. Pero muy independiente de todo es un gran equipo

Love the dual touchescreen. perfect for multitasking. you can text and have your phone on the bottom screen or fb messenger or you can use it as a whiteboard. you can have 2 different internet pages open. or you can extend one screen on both screens and it's all very seamless. this tech will only get better, but this is a great start and can't wait to see other companies and laptops start experimenting with dual screens. brightness is good and windows 10 runs perfect. you can swipe from all sides of the screen and each direction has its own function as well. asus and microsoft did a great job with this laptop and it runs very smooth for a gamechanger in design!

I bought this computer for my son as a high school graduation present for college. He loves the dual screens because he can take notes or work on documents on one screen and have reference material displayed on the other screen. He says it's great for multi-tasking. He likes the light weight and the tilt design that allows for better cooling.

I think the most interesting part of the ASUS ZenBook UX482 is the dual touch screen feature. On this point the laptop is great! Both screens are responsive and functional; whether you're using a finger or a stylus there is a very accurate and consistent response from touchscreen functions. The second screen requires a bit of manipulation for different screens, but for most applications that is not a great hurdle to overcome.The only issue I really have with this is the sound quality. In video meetings, video games, and movies I think there is a degree of reverb (or some other technical term that I'm not sure of) where there is some static-y sound even at what I would consider a normal volume. Its almost like a vibration that hits through the keyboard and can be quite bothersome. Still a solid purchase overall for work and entertainment.
