Try the two -screen notebook PC "ZenBook Duo 14 UX482EG" (page 1/4) (page 1/4)
ASUS JAPAN's "ZenBook Duo 14 UX482" is the latest model of a two-screen notebook PC equipped with a 14-inch main screen and a 12.6-inch sub-screen (ScreenPad Plus) behind the keyboard. . It will be the successor to the "UX481" released in 2020.
While inheriting the overall image, such as the impressive blue-green (celestial blue) body color, the sub-screen has been completely improved by introducing a tilt mechanism, etc., to improve usability. It is also worth noting that the basic system uses the 11th generation Core processor, is equipped with advanced equipment such as Thunderbolt 4, and enables operation at TDP28W.
Three types of models are sold with different specifications, but this time, let's review the top model (UX482EG-KA143TS).
ASUS JAPAN's "ZenBook Duo 14 UX482" is a two-screen notebook PC equipped with a 14-inch main screen and a 12.6-inch sub-screen (ScreenPad Plus). Adopts the latest Tiger Lake (development code name) system and improves the visibility of the sub screenAdopts a high-quality, heavy blue-green metal body
The body material uses a lightweight and sturdy magnesium-aluminum alloy, and the top plate has undergone the ZenBook's symbolic spin processing. The build quality is excellent as it is tightly assembled with highly rigid materials. It goes well with the bluish-green body color called “Celestial Blue” and has a high-quality finish.
The body size is about 324 (width) x 222 (depth) x 16.9-17.3 (height) mm, and the weight is about 1.6 kg (both nominal values). It is about 50g lighter and 2.5mm thinner than its predecessor.
It's still a little heavy for a 14-inch mobile notebook PC, and even when you actually hold it, it feels heavy, but considering that it's sturdy and has two screens, it's doing well enough. It can be said that
The battery has a large capacity of 70Wh. The nominal battery operating time is about 10.8 hours (JEITA battery operating time measurement method Ver.2.0), ensuring a practically sufficient operating time while using two screens. The included AC adapter supports USB Power Delivery, and can be charged with either of the two USB Type-C (Thunderbolt 4 compatible) terminals.
Actual weight is about 1.6kg, which is the nominal value. The AC adapter supports USB Power Delivery and has a maximum specification of 65W. The measured size was about 63 (width) x 63 (depth) x 29 (thickness) mm, and the weight including the cable was about 211gThe top surface of the liquid crystal display is a symbol of ZenBook. Finished by spinning. The deep metallic blue-green color called "Celestial Blue" is also beautifulThe bottom of the simple design. Built-in stereo speakers on the left and right sidesBattery report screen. Equipped with a large capacity of 70Wh, the nominal driving time is about 10.8 hoursThe sub-screen tilts for easier viewing and improved brightness
Main 14-inch screen is 1920 × 1080 pixels, sub 12.6 type screen (ScreenPad Plus) supports screen resolution of 1920 × 515 pixels. Both are equipped with a touch panel with a non-glossy finish, and can be operated by touching the screen. It can also be operated with the separately sold ASUS Pen (ASUS Store price: 8778 yen including tax).
From this time, as a device to make the sub-screen easier to see, in addition to setting the screen brightness to 400 nits, which is the same as the main screen, a tilt mechanism has been adopted. When the liquid crystal display is opened, the body tilts, and the hinge of the sub-screen works in conjunction with it, so that it can be tilted up to 7 degrees. This tilt mechanism also has the effect of improving airflow and increasing heat dissipation efficiency.
In many cases, the sub-screen tends to look a little duller due to differences in lighting angles and color gamuts, but I didn't find it difficult to see even in environments with slightly strong lighting.
The main 14-inch screen (93% screen share) supports 1920 x 1080 pixels, and the sub 12.6-inch screen (ScreenPad Plus) supports 1920 x 515 pixels. Both have a matte finishMeasurement results (main screen) with X-Rite's color calibration sensor "i1 Display Pro"X-Rite's color calibration sensor "i1 Display" Pro" measurement results (sub-screen)The ICC profile created from the i1 Display Pro measurement results was loaded and displayed with the chromaticity diagram creation software "Color AC (made by Mr. Phonon)". . The solid black line shows the color gamut of the main screen, which almost matches the sRGB shown by the red dotted line. The sub-screen (dotted black line) covered about 69%.When the liquid crystal display is opened, the body tilts and the hinge of the sub-screen works in conjunction with the sub-screen, giving an angle of up to 7 degrees. is attached. The keyboard surface is slanted at 4.5 degreesWhen viewed from the front, the sub-screen looks a little darker due to reflections, etc., but in reality the brightness is almost the sameKeyboard The touchpad is placed on the right. The key pitch is about 17mm, which is a little cramped, but the build is solid and the typing feeling itself is goodThe separately sold ASUS Pen supports 4096 levels of pen pressure detection. The keyboard can be turned off, but it doesn't seem to have a palm reject function, so if your hand touches the screen, you can't draw wellContinuing, let's take a look at the newly added functions.
