Seeing how Linus has recently put out a review for the Zenbook pro duo and I am looking for a new work/play laptop, I figured there is no better place than here to ask this. I am currently attempting to decide between the blade 15 (i9 with 2080 and either FHD or UHD) and the new zenbook pro duo (max specs) and I am looking for some advice on which to choose.
Both of these units have some pros and cons for me as follows:
Blade 15:
Pros:
-option for a high refresh rate monitor
-more powerful 2080 for increased gaming performance (I do a lot of gaming. Mainly wow classic, RTS, and FPS)
Cons:
-only 512gb ssd for storage
-razer synapse (I hate synapse 2 but haven't had any issues so far with synapse 3)
Zenbook pro duo:
Pros:
-dual display (I am extreme when it comes to multiple displays. My desktop has 3 at all times and sometimes 4 if I have my drawing tablet in use)
-better processor
-more storage
Cons:
-slightly heavier
-only a 2060
I want to make a decision based on not using an egpu because I already have multiple desktops for this. The main reason I am deciding between these 2 are due to the fact both of these are outstanding laptops and don't have the "gamer" look that most gaming laptops have these days. Any input or suggestions are really appreciated!
