Hi, Thanks for a detail review. I am wondering how do you compare this model with ZenBook Pro Duo UX582? Specially from display and thermal perspective. You mentioned poor image quality on the ScreenPad Plus; is it also true for the UX582 model? Is the 120 Hz main display much better than previous one if not for gaming? Also, is the new hinge design better? Thanks!

It is nice to see that they matched the horizontal resolution of the displays. They missed that detail on one of the 16" models, with 2560 connected to 3840. That would be less big of a deal if Windows released a patch to make extended display setups and their configurations properly account for DPI scaling settings from an alignment perspective, but having them match is probably better either way. In any case, it's a shame the particular matte finish they used makes the bottom display look so grainy. I can only imagine they did that because the display points straight up towards the sun or ceiling lights. Secondly, this OLED+LCD setup might also bring one of Windows' small but noticeable visual bugs to light: when the taskbar is set to auto-hide, using the mouse cursor to reveal it can cause it to temporarily show up on the top of the screen below, which is a bit cheap feeling from a UI perspective. With the OLED, users might set the taskbar to auto-hide to improve longevity -- if it isn't already set that way out of the box. (Or one could just set the bottom display as primary so that it shows up there instead).

I just bought an Asus ZenBook UX550VD. There are problems with the keyboard. Certain keys are not giving the correct characters. For example: when I press the key "0" it returns the character "/". Shift + key "0" returns the character "/" as well. In the same way the key "p" returns "*" and the key "-" returns "+". When I press these keys together with the Function key "fn" the correct characters appear. In Windows 10, the correct keyboard layout is selected. The problem also occurs without Windows e.g. when I use the keys in BIOS setup. Has anyone had a similar problem or any idea what could be the problem?

Hi guys, was wondering if the temperatures in your stress were reached after undervolting/software optimization or out of the box? Just wanted to know if I can game on it (no AAA titles) without it getting very hot and throttling heavily.

Hi guys, correct me if I am wrong - I don't see .icm profile anywhere at the page... Thanks. Text from the review states: Our calibrated .icm-profile is available for free in the display box above.

Hello, Do you have any idea when the 302 version of BIOS will be released?

@Serhio: Depends on what you do. RAM management is pretty awful on Windows, for instance, streaming a high-res video online would take more memory than necessarily needed. By "potential", if you mean "perceived snappiness" during graphic intensive work or navigating an interface, things like sustainable max CPU clockspeed, amount of cache, random read and write speeds of storage, and software optimization will determine most of it. As for paging on low RAM it won't be as speedy, even on an expensive NVMe SSD. Better to just buy more memory and disable paging to begin with (which shouldn't be an issue unless you do something that says it'll absolutely malfunction without setting the paging file on a GUI level).
