However, that does not hinder the performance of the trackpad. TrackpadĬramped to the far right side of the ASUS ZenBook Duo UX481F, the trackpad is obviously tiny.
#ZENBOOK DUO WINDOWS#
It has a few built-in apps like handwriting, number pad, and also acts as a companion to fling apps and windows between the main display and the ScreenPad Plus.
#ZENBOOK DUO SOFTWARE#
The ScreenPad Plus does have its own software here called ScreenXpert. I can also mix and match between any of the two scenarios by splitting the ScreenPad Plus into two halves – so I can have Spotify on the left side and have other documents on the right side.įunny enough, I think some apps like Synthesia can utilize the ScreenPad Plus by having the notes displayed on the main screen while the ScreenPad Plus is where I can touch the piano.
#ZENBOOK DUO PRO#
Using Premiere Pro with the timeline on the ScreenPad Plus.Messaging apps (Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram, etc).YouTube while working on other things on the main screen.Spotify as a touch-screen jukebox on the laptop itself.This screen is useful for a number of things – I’ve tried using it in these scenarios, and they all work great. Though, the matte finish does make smaller texts a little fuzzy. The matte finish on the ScreenPad Plus also makes it feel more like paper while using the ASUS Active Stylus SA200H to write on it. The ScreenPad Plus itself also has a great display with good colors, but ASUS opted for a rough matte finish instead of a finer matte finish on the main display.Īs a prosumer, I presume that ASUS did this to further minimize glare and reflections because of how the display is positioned. While the specs just say 72% NTSC coverage, I think the color accuracy here is pretty good.Īs for the ScreenPad Plus, ASUS also opted in for a touch-sensitive 12.6-inch screen with the resolution of 1920×515. I immediately noticed the bright, beautiful colors on the main display when I started up Chrome and browsed around my frequently-visited websites. It’s a really nice screen too, by the way.
#ZENBOOK DUO 1080P#
The ASUS ZenBook Duo UX481F here comes with a 14-inch 1080p screen without touch capability. Once I opened up the lid of this laptop, I realized that the engineers need to make sure that these 3 things are able to fit together, alongside the ScreenPad Plus. I feel like for the ASUS ZenBook Duo UX481F, these 3 things go hand-in-hand. Maybe include a full-sized SD card reader in the future? Screen(s), trackpad, keyboard That microSD card slot is a great touch, by the way. I’m personally okay with the list of ports here, though having a Thunderbolt 3 port here would have sweetened the deal here. The ZenBook Duo UX481F comes with quite a good selection of ports here. The ScreenPad Plus requires a certain thickness to be fitted in, and yet the motherboard and cooling systems will still need to be placed underneath the ScreenPad Plus. While some might say the laptop is thicc, I say the laptop is quite okay in terms of thickness because I understand it in terms of engineering. The entire laptop is made out of metal, by the way.
It is only available in the Celestial Blue color – which essentially is dark blue, and retains the iconic ZenBook concentric circle design on the lid itself. The overall aesthetic of the ZenBook Duo UX481F is really clean. The only thing new here is the pearl white color scheme. Perhaps ASUS will sell them as replacements instead?ĪSUS also included a sleeve to carry the laptop around with, and it’s nothing new in terms of design and quality. I find the exclusion of replacement pen tips of the Active Stylus to be really weird here because the pen’s tip will surely wear off over time – especially since the ScreenPad Plus has an aggressive matte finish. The 14-inch version comes in this box that is covered with soft-touch material and opened by lifting up the lid. Opening up the box here, we can see that the packaging design is overall just simple and plain. They both have quite a lot of differences, so we sat down with Tech Critter and shared our user experience with the new ZenBooks with ScreenPad Plus. The ZenBook Duo UX481F is the 14-inch version, whereas the ZenBook Pro Duo UX581G is the 15-inch version.
