Use and benefits of two displays in a laptop
Many of you might be thinking what is the use of two screens on a laptop. Well, the answer is ease and productivity. Many people use two monitors in desktop to have more real-estate and working space. It helps to see and visualize more information at once. Also, multi-window work is possible. We can use different applications on different screens. It makes work much easier. We also use two monitors when editing videos and working on scripts or projects.
Sometimes in my home, I connect my monitor to the laptop to get such power, space and privilege. So if we have two screens already on the laptop, work can be much easier even on the go. The secondary big display can provide a fantastic working space for editors in Adobe Premiere Pro and Audition. We can also use it for copywriting, journalism and research. We can look at a source such as news articles, journals, paper at one display and then do a search in another or compose with the help of them. Different shortcuts can be implemented as well.
There are many possibilities and Asus has done very good implementation. The company has successfully made a very good series of a professional laptops with less gimmick. There are some things to improve and with those finishings, it can be even better. The screen glossiness is different and so are viewing angles. Else everything looks good on paper. Both Asus Zenbook Pro Do and Zenbook Duo have powerful Intel processors, fast storage and good graphics card. These are genuinely smart and productive products for the mobile working generation.
