Nevertheless, the speakers are tuned by Harman Kardon, and they sound pretty good, to be honest.ĪSUS ZenBook Pro Duo 15 OLED UX582’s main display has a touchscreen UHD OLED panel, model number Samsung ATNA56WR14-0 (SDC4143). Sounds like (pun intended) ASUS hasn’t had a 16-inch MacBook Pro in their office recently. Here, the speaker setup is placed on the bottom side of the notebook, and according to the manufacturer it is “the most incredible sound ever heard on a laptop”.

Plus, it has a shortcut that brings the calculator app and toggles between two brightness settings of the backlight beneath the glass surface. In addition to that, the touchpad doubles as a NumberPad, so it’s safe to say that ASUS has shot all their shots with this device.

The reason for that is that you don’t need to double-tap or hunt for the buttons when you need to click on something. However, we feel that it is more comfortable without the buttons. Some would be repelled by its lack of dedicated keys. The modes are named “Standard” and “Rendering”, with the latter being the high-performance mode. And the third one is your fan profile toggle. In addition to the button that enables the ScreenPad Plus, there is one that switches the content from the main to the second panel. This would make it generally comfortable for use. Interestingly, it really does the job and makes the notebook far more convenient.Īs for the actual user experience of the keyboard, it has decent key travel and clicky feedback. However, ASUS is apparently aware of the issue, and they supply an armrest, which is attached to the front part of the device. Because of the second display, it had to be pushed downwards, which results in strain after even short-term usage. As we said in our review of the ZenBook Duo 14 UX482, using it is a bit of a pain in the …arms. Currently, the supported programs all come from the Adobe portfolio, but ASUS is promising that more apps will be joining them “soon”. Once it’s turned on, you can use it as a secondary screen, a mapped shortcut, or as a Control Panel for your creative app. In terms of the ScreenPad Plus, we can say that it is enabled by a designated button above the touchpad.

Additionally, above the glass-protected display, you will see an HD Web camera with an IR face recognition sensor enabling Windows Hello functionality. It covers most of the bottom bezel, which leaves the illusion that all four bezels are extremely thin. Respectively, this makes it a lot more comfortable for work and opens room for the fans to breathe.

The way they work is that when you open the lid, the main hinges start rotating the secondary ones, and the ScreenPad Plus lifts up from the main body. This is particularly impressive, as there is a double set of hinges. Thankfully, the lid opens easily with a single hand. First, the laptop is built out of aluminum and feels extremely sturdy. Also, it weighs 2.34 kg, which is a bit heavy, but there is a reason for that. In contrast to the politics of the ZenBook lineup, the ZenBook Pro Duo 15 OLED UX582 has a slightly thick profile that measures from 21.5 to 24.5 mm. Well, this device definitely looks different. You can check the prices and configurations in our Specs System: However, the only other notebook that can offer a similar user experience, and amount of performance is the ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 (GX551). Of course, the MSI Creator 15 (A10Sx) is fighting for the same customers. So, this device is a bit unprecedented, and we don’t really have anything to compare it with. Weirdly, both of this laptop’s displays come with different panel technologies, so it will be interesting to see how they work together. Ultimately, it is a 4K OLED panel with supposed 100% DCI-P3 coverage and Pantone-validated colors. It packs quite a bunch of features, including ease-of-life software, and the productivity-oriented Control Panel.Īnd the last bean-spiller is the OLED, which reflects the type of panel, used for this notebook’s main display. Then, the Duo means that it has a secondary display, neatly called the “ScreenPad Plus”. And this is not a gimmick from the manufacturer – it indeed comes with an 8-Core 10th Gen Intel processor and the RTX 3070 with 110W of TGP (20W of them are thanks to the Dynamic Boost). Actually, its naming gives away pretty much everything about the device.įirst of all, it is meant for professionals and is built with them in mind. It comes from ASUS and is called the ZenBook Pro Duo 15 OLED UX582 – a mouthful of a name. Today, we will show you one of the most popular, and perhaps important laptops in the creative world.
