The graphics card is excellent, and the very fast processor allows for smooth performance even when working on heavy-duty projects.One of the standout features of this laptop is its very quiet operation, which is a significant improvement over my previous laptop. The cooling system works exceptionally well, even during long sessions of music production or video editing. The laptop stays cool and maintains optimal performance.The laptop is also lightweight and easy to transport, making it perfect for on-the-go work. I have used it on planes, and in coffee shops without any issues.Overall, I highly recommend this laptop to anyone looking for a powerful and reliable tool for music production, video editing, and graphic design. Its excellent graphics card, very fast processor, innovative dual accurate display, quiet operation, and excellent cooling system make it the perfect choice for professionals and creatives alike.

Originally I ordered a simpler ZenBook and unfortunately has an issue with it, but it worked out because I am so impressed with this laptop. It does way more than I currently know how to do because I didn't really need some of the features before. I did a ton of research before purchasing and I will say I think the value for the money is definitely there, but I also picked this up on sale during cyber monday and saved $1000 so there is that. I wasn't planning to spend this much, but its very clear where the money went. Honestly, just having another screen right there at all times to minimize a screen onto while multitasking is awesome. I train online, create content such as PowerPoints, newsletters, and blogs. I can't wait to get back to work and see what this machine can really do.If you don't create content or have a need for the extra features it may not be worth the price tag, but if you truly need the features this machine is pretty spectacular. Battery life does take a hit because of the extra screen and size of the laptop, but it's worth it. This isn't meant to be an on the lap type of laptop so don't expect a super light and small machine. Considering what it does though, I think the weight is reasonable.I am very happy with my decision to purchase this laptop and all of the research I did matches the experience I have had so far. Only we can know what we need, but if you are in the market and on the fence I would be surprised if you weren't happy with this purchase if you have the coin to pay for a premium laptop.

Zenbook Pro 16X and the ProArt Studiobook 16 were the other two in contention for my money... which all of these options cost a considerable amount of... and ultimately landed on this model and very happy with the choice.I need an everyday computer that also happens to crush multi-cam timelines and renders several times a week. Despite what you read in the reviews, those others get uncomfortably hot under normal (non-stressed) conditions UNLESS you're running the fans full throttle.They really need to stop calling this category "laptops" because you can't use them that way. The air vents below need to remain open for them to pull in cool air from below and you just aren't when they are on your laps. Also, if you're young and married, and trying to produce heirs, this is likely impacting your odds of success.I was initially drawn to the other two for the Asus Dial on both and large stylus compatible touchpad on Studiobooks. I quickly found out that it's too easy to trip up the dial while typing and the touchpad palm reject causes a lag in typing. Also the heat from the laptops when not running fans on full power makes it an uncomfortable place to rest your hands. I love having the keyboard front and center and the palm rest they ship this model with.OLED factory calibrated was a requirement for me. They all have that, but this one comes with the second screen that I find immensely more valuable than the dial--and it even gives one, albeit virtual, along with additional customizable controls for Adobe app suite. Screen real estate is so clutch for multi-cam timelines so it's nice to move that down to the Screenpad Plus.Another thing to love about that is the dedicated ScreenPad Plus key that allows you to toggle on/off/hide for when you're not using, as well as fan speed button for a quick blast of air to cool it down when needed. As of now I'm not finding the need to go off whisper speed given the cool to the touch palm rest and ample airflow this design affords. You loose ports with this one but you gain air flow (vents) and I feel like that's a big part of why it remains cool for me while the other two were not. On the subject of ports, it seems everywhere I looked it was described as having Thunderbolt 3 but in fact the manual states 4 in case that matters to you. They're updating these rigs with new configs so fast it's no surprise the online material isn't keeping up and Asus' own site is no exception.If you're looking at these Zenbooks, you need to factor in that you can only upgrade the SSD. If you hope to get 5 yrs out of these before you feel the need to replace, you really should consider ponying up for whatever the top of the line config currently is on these. This model in particular is particularly all over the map with 10th and 11th gen intel chips and mostly 3060 graphics. If you find a 3070 it usually comes with compromises on RAM and/or chipset. I had searched and searched for 3070i and 12th gen i7 or i9 with 32GB and was about to give up because Amazon doesn't seem to be showing this model in the top spots.The Zenbook Pro 16 had 12th gen i9, 32gb of ram but only the 3060 onboard. It turned in a middling 430 on PhugetBench. The Studiobook had 12th gen i7, 16 gb of ram 3070i and 2TB SSD in RAID0 and turned in a respectable 750. This model faired better but not as much as I had hoped given the higher processor and RAM, so i'm thinking the RAID0 might have helped Studiobook keep up.**I don't post product reviews often, but was motivated this time to do so in exchange for receiving a 90 day warranty extension from ASUS... and you should to if you spent this kind of money and a few additional months might be the difference between being in or out of warranty.

Did not and have not received any paperwork or information. I still would like to get instructions and information on setting up the laptop

The option to work with two screens whilst on the go is awesome. If you (need to) work with many simultaneously open windows and you travel a lot, this laptop is a great solution.On the heavy side for schlepping, but great specs.
