On the subject of high-end mobile workstations, I’d be remiss not to mention the 15in Apple MacBook Pro (2018) too. Jump up a grand and you could get yourself an Acer Predator Triton 900, a ludicrous £4,000 laptop with a rotating 4K 17.3in display and desktop-beating performance. Costing roughly £2,800 from Amazon, this is currently our favourite gaming laptop, thanks to a ninth-gen Intel Core i7-9750H, Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q graphics and a stunning 240Hz display.
Within a similar price range to my review unit, you could alternatively invest in a top-of-the-line Razer Blade 15 (2019). That’s a whopping wad of cash, but you can reduce the price by dialling back on the loadout or size: Amazon has a 14in model with an Intel Core i7-10510U CPU and Nvidia MX250 graphics available for £1,500, and there’s also a 15.6in version with a Core i7-9750H and RTX 2060 going for £2,500. Asus ZenBook Pro Duo review: Price and competitionĪt the time of writing, the only UK retailer that has this particular configuration in stock is John Lewis, where it’ll set you back £3,000. The lower display, known as the ScreenPad Plus, is a 14in LCD touchscreen with a matte finish and a distinctly letterbox-shaped resolution of 3,840 x 1,100. The primary display is a 15.6in, 3,840 x 2,160 OLED touch-enabled panel with a reflective glass coating. Then, of course, there are those dual screens. It’s powered by an octa-core Intel Core i9-9980HK CPU, supported by 32GB of RAM, 1TB of PCIe SSD storage and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 GPU. The model I’m reviewing here is the top-spec ZenBook Pro Duo UX581GV. But the ZenBook Pro Duo is the most ambitious take on the concept yet. Back in 2012 it even made a laptop with rear and front displays, the Asus Taichi.
Indeed, Asus itself has previously released ZenBook Pro models that feature a secondary display, or ScreenPad, housed within the touchpad.
