#which is the same tech that 90% of “stylus compatible” windows laptops use

[syntaxaero]

yea I deleted the post bashing the dual screen laptop cus the screenshot i used didn't show the keyboard or fact that simply stands on a built in stand. and people started calling it a tablet

but i still think it's a less-than-ideal product for a few reasons:

1 - While I myself love having multiple monitors I sincerely doubt that it makes much sense to have both at all times for a product designed to be portable. You wouldn't be able to use it on your lap very comfortably I feel. The function only really makes sense at a desk or internet cafe sort of deal. Yes you can use it with the keyboard in standard laptop mode but at that point why get such a product-

2 - The extra concern for durability just probably isn't worth it. Both screens might not shatter if you close it too hard but that shit *will* get scratched up in a backpack. One bad day at the airport (assuming you aren't carrying it on- I doubt you'd be able to use both screens on an airplane) and that thing is Gone. Dust.

3 - No trust me unless ASUS put Wacom EMR in that thing, or even a fully up to date version of MPP, it would be an *awful* experience for drawing on without egregious degrees of stabilizers. Many windows laptops include very cheaply produced pens that have far too much wobble and inconsistency to comfortably use as a daily driver. Its usually fine for note taking or using as a pointer- but otherwise it's probably cheaper and much better to use a 12-16in drawing tablet plugged into the laptop- otherwise the ergonomics and detachable keyboard and extra screen space do make it seem fairly compelling as an illustration device I suppose!

4 - Oh God The Repairability

But yeah anyways at like 1500+ USD it's absolutely not something I'd Recommend Necessarily. Unless it's a deeply user serviceable device with good specs and an actually usable pen protocol, all it's probably good for is getting attention and maaaayyybee power users that cycle laptops every three years. Which is probably the target audience anyway.
