Whether these will prove useful will depend on your workflow, usage habit, and adaptability. When you open any of these apps, you’ll see customisable shortcuts on the ScreenPad Plus. There’s now added support for Adobe applications including Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects, and Lightroom Classic. The ZenBook Pro Duo UX582 gets all of the software enhancements that were introduced earlier on the ZenBook Duo UX482. The lift also helps with cooling, which I’ll talk about more later. Importantly, the effect of creating a single big screen is more believable on the ZenBook Pro Duo UX582 than it is one the smaller ZenBook Duo UX482. There’s still a visible strip of bezel between the two but it is more inconspicuous. The result of this additional lift is that the two displays of the ZenBook Pro Duo UX582 looks more like they are one big display. Interestingly, that's 2.5° more than the recently released ZenBook Duo UX482. According to ASUS, the ScreenPad Plus now tilts up by 9.5°. The big change to the displays, however, is the new hinge mechanism which lifts the ScreenPad Plus to a greater angle. This discrepancy in display quality can be jarring. The secondary display, because of its matte finish and the fact that it doesn’t get as bright, looks noticeably less punchy and sharp. No question, this is easily one of the best displays I’ve seen on any notebook. It’s sharp and thanks to the glossy finish, colours look super vivid and yet natural. Visually, the main display looks fantastic. Both displays support touch and stylus inputs. It has a matte finish to reduce glare and reflections from the main display. The secondary ScreenPad Plus display uses an IPS panel and is 14 inches large with a resolution of 3,840 x 1,100 pixels (which is exactly half of a 4K display). The main display is 15.6-inches large, 4K, and it uses an OLED panel that is Pantone validated, supports 100% of the P3 colour space, and has a maximum brightness of 440 nits. The specifications of the two displays are unchanged. Blue might not be everyone's cup of tea but it is incontrovertibly more interesting than plain old black. It comes in a colour that ASUS calls Celestial Blue. The lid has a circular brushed finish and the sides have distinctive bevels. Though that doesn’t sound very portable, it’s comparable to other 15-inch notebooks with similar specifications (which I’ll get into later) and is tad better than the first iteration.Īesthetically, the notebook has all the classic ZenBook design cues. Thanks to the use of magnesium alloy, the ZenBook Pro Duo UX582 is around 24mm thick and weighs just 2.34kg. Yes, that’s a long name so let’s just call this notebook the ZenBook Pro Duo UX582, shall we? The basic idea of the notebook has changed, and that is to cram two displays into a clamshell that’s as compact as it is physically and technologically possible. Meet the new ZenBook Pro Duo 15 OLED UX582. Now, these improvements have been brought over to the larger ZenBook Pro Duo. It was a commendable first attempt but it had its issues. Naturally, ASUS made improvements to address these issues earlier this year with the smaller ZenBook Duo UX482. It wasn’t the first notebook to have dual displays but it was the first time a big-time notebook brand committed to the idea of making such notebooks. In 2019, ASUS made headlines with the ZenBook Pro Duo UX581, which was a notebook with dual displays. Note: This review was first published on.
