Verdict

The Dell XPS 13 is a premium laptop that can be configured with a touchscreen. It has a good quality keyboard and large keys with less gaps, and low backlight bleed. It also has an overall good quality, though it may have some issues with difficult monitor set ups. It is compatible with Linux and comes with Thunderbolt charging capabilities. However, it is on the expensive side.

Verdict

The Asus ZenBook Pro Duo is a powerful laptop with two 4K touchscreen panels, making it ideal for graphic creators. It has great specs and performance, but the RAM can be quickly used up when utilizing both screens simultaneously. It is not compatible with the Windows 1909 update or the HTC Vive VR headset. It is a great concept, but falls short of expectations. It is more expensive than other laptops, but is still a good value for the specs and features it offers.

Battery Life

So lightweight!

The battery life is very short (4ish hours) and it takes a long time to charge (about 1 1/2 hours). The brick on the cord gets very hot as it charges as does the bottom of the laptop. Otherwise it runs cool. I really like that there is no separate place to plug in the charger

Awesome tech with real potential, but some real life drawbacks make it not for me.

The specs of the machine are great and performance is high. The second screen is not terribly bright and the viewing angle is not great unless it is truly on your lap. And even then, it’s a heavy laptop by most comparisons. The big worry for me was the battery life, which was not averaging above 3 hours under my real life normal use

Performance

BEWARE!!!! Paid full price for a new one and received a used one!!!

Laptop seems to be working "ok" as of now besides the WiFi issues everyone has been having and apps like Netflix and Hulu not properly working. Another thing that is concerning is the packaging. I'm pretty sure I was sent a used product considering it came in a cheap cardboard box and not in it's original XPS box/packaging. Also the laptop itself was not even wrapped in any kind of plastic or padding or anything and I am at a military base in Iraq

You can then decide for yourself if my negative marks are worth considering. For starters this is not a laptop. It is too heavy and uncomfortable to use on your lap. Apart from being very heavy the screen jabs you legs and cuts of your circulation after 20 minutes and then your wrists are aching because there is no proper wrist wrest
