May I know what specs you're getting for the Zenbook Pro Duo?

I've recently been interested in the new Zenbook pro duo coming out, in fact I've pre-ordered one but I'm still unsure if it's the best option.

 

My requirements

+Good with spending around 3k

+50% gaming 50% video/audio editing

+I already have a PC with a decent monitor

+school use (so not super gamer looking)

+ Good storage 512+ (1 Tera would be great)

 

 

If anyone has any recommendations that would be great, I was thinking maybe a razor 17 2070 max q, but I honestly don't know.

Thanks!

(Also is there an estimated price on the Razor studio edition laptops?)

Do you really need 2 screens though. Also questionable reliability

For me the reliability is more of an issue, I've never owned any Asus product but their recent launches have been awful

Asus QC+QA aren't the best out there

 

Are you looking for laptop recommendation?

Where are you from? Preferred max weight and min battery life?

 

Also, would you cancel the preorder?

The US, no more then around 5 and a half pounds, for battery life at least 3 hours. The pre-order is from a retailer that doesn't even have stock yet so I probably still have a good 2-3 weeks till anything is final on that end. It sells out fast so I'm just keeping it as a placeholder In line

For your requirements you don't have to spend so much actually

 

Fine with 2060 GPU? Or you prefer 2070/higher?

Fine with 6c12t CPU? (9980HK is 8c16t)

Fine with 15 and 17 inch?

No need touchscreen?
