TLDR:- Battery lasts a few hours (4-5)- Only Bloatware is McAfee (You want MyASUS), Drivers Required for Alexa Bar- Keypad is intelligent, will recognize when you want touchpad and when you want keypad- Bottom screen can be dull unless in low light, otherwise excellent- Thunderbolt 3 works (no charging), connects to iGPU, dedicated HDMI 2.0 port on side connects to RTX directly- Actually useful custom keyboard keys- Great specs, incredible power, beefy power supply (Graphics kill on this machine, like a desktop) Ultra 2K gaming on any game, some are 4K HDR UltraI'll put my conclusion here, it's a wonderful machine and I would highly recommend it to those who want the most real estate from their laptop. Killer graphics and CPU, plenty of RAM, no major driver issues, no bloatware, and lots of genuinely useful software integrations._____________Longer version:- I'm a software engineer, when I review a laptop, I'm reviewing ASUS's additions, not reviewing Windows. Strictly ASUS hardware and software. If you have Windows problems, that is Windows, not ASUS.______Screen:The biggest plus on this laptop is the screen. It is gorgeous, colors are fine tuned and look fantastic. The top and bottom are 4K. Colors are same on both screens, just a matte finish on the bottom.______________Screenpad Plus:ASUS is calling their bottom screen "Screenpad Plus". Having used it, I have seen some very useful examples of it. You can custom assign a group of windows to the screens, so you can resume in one click from where you were.There is a surprising amount of integration here:- Quick button to switch top screen window to bottom and bottom to top- Custom window sizing on screenpad plus (3 squares not right and left)- Unity extends the Folders bar on the screenpad, with the top screen being strictly for object lists and the scene.- ZOOM puts the little videos on the bottom, and the main speaker on the top screen (I love this)- For coding, extending the code to both screens allows me to more easily see more of the methods that I am calling without having to scroll and lose where I was._________Keyboard:- There is a lot of useful software in the keyboard, but first, the hardware.The key strokes feel fluent, and the keys are spaced well. It feels higher quality than most keyboards I have used. It is no IBM keyboard, but the flux is little and the depth of the key presses make it feel quite comparable to a desktop keyboard. It feels slightly better than the modern Dell and HP keyboards that are given with Desktops.But the main point of the keyboard is the special keys. The screenshot key is really convenient, and the function keys are ones you would actually want to use such as hard disabling your camera, switching between power modes, and my favorite key, send top window to bottom and bottom to top. The Switch key. It's phenomenal and incredibly convenient to have mail at the bottom and chrome on top, then when I want to switch put mail at the top so I can respond more in-depth, then switch again to go back to chrome, all without having to touch the screen or use my mouse.As for comfort, if you are uncomfortable with your palms resting on the desk, a "rest" bar is included. I use it at home but don't take it with me, I feel fine in both places.__________Touchpad:The touchpad is smarter than I expected. I was expecting just a switch between a number pad and a touchpad, but it can tell when you would want to put in a number and move the mouse. If you are in a text field, or a math based app like Calc, Excel, Word, etc, it will assume you want numbers (you can turn this intelligence off if you want), if you drag your finger across, even with the lights on, it will assume you want the mouse and won't just input a bunch of numbers. So you don't have to turn the lights on off on off on off. I liked this more than I expected.The other thing is it has a swipe command from the top, by default it is set to open the calculator, but you can set it to what you like.I could very much get used to this design, which I am surprised by.____________Handwriting:This "integration" brings me to handwriting. I am kind of disappointed, but I will explain why.The included pen is pressure sensitive, and can adjust brush width based on pressure and tilt. It recognizes handwriting in many languages, I have tested English, Japanese and Chinese, all work well (and cursive too). It also comes with a battery (thank you).However, I am disappointed that it only can convert it to text. It was my hope that the Handwriting software would allow me to handwrite on the bottom, and it would appear on the top where I wanted it to be, like a magnified view on the bottom where I could write. Sadly, there is no ASUS integrated software for this. I would pay for a note taking software that did this correctly. Both screens can be written on, but writing on a vertical surface is a pain.Finally, it can deduce the difference between your fingers and the pen. The pen that is included has two buttons. I only use the eraser function which is the top___________________Ports & Connections:- The biggest one for most will be a Thunderbolt 3 dock. Will it charge? Do audio, video, USB and others work through the dock? No and yes. I have not been able to charge my laptop at all with any docks. The laptop takes 11.5 Amps at 19.5V before powering the ports. My 180 Watt dock would not charge, but audio, video, USB, ethernet and 4K HDR DisplayPort all worked.However ASUS isn't dock heavy. The laptop has two USB A 3.1, Nvidia GPU connected HDMI, DC, USB C Thunderbolt, and an Audio Jack. I've used it without a dock fine.One thing that is odd is multiple display setups. Since there are two internal displays on Intel, and Intel supports a max of 3, you can only connect one monitor through USB C or turn off Screen pad Plus. However, one through USB C and one connected directly via HDMI will give you four.Connecting directly to the HDMI also allows for Nvidia G Sync and other Nvidia specific features, as it runs through the RTX. If you are gaming, connect through the HDMI, there is a throughout limit on the USB C.Wi-Fi 6 is a plus, but I don't have 2000MbPS internet with 300 devices connected to see any benefit yet.________________Light Bar & Alexa:The light bar on the bottom is by default used to provide info on battery and power mode. If the fan is on full blast and you have it plugged in, it will turn red, if normal and plugged in, green, if on battery, blue/off (depending what you choose)Alexa does work, but you need to install the Alexa app, then install some obscurely named drivers stored on the ASUS file server. Why they made this so hard IDK, but you can get it to work. There are tutorials on it.
