![]() ![]() The touchscreen on the secondary display is not that helpful in such situations though. It is perfectly possible to use spreadsheets and instant messaging apps on the secondary display, despite everything appearing smaller. This single tap button is incredibly useful. ASUS has smartly anticipated the requirement for this on such a device, and they have given a button on the sidebar that makes software jump between the screens. There is a way to do this, but that involves first pressing Alt+Tab anyway to select the window you want, then press Windows+Shift+→ or Windows+Shift+←, to get it to move to the display that you want the windows on, which is a bit clumsy and roundabout method for doing what you want. ![]() (Image Credit: News9/Aditya Madanapalle). The secondary monitor is great for monitoring things. This laptop requires some other single shortcut that allows you to cycle the screens through the different displays. The additional monitor above the keyboard allows you to keep a few more windows open continuously, which means that you also don’t need alerts anymore. When doing regular office work on this laptop, you can completely forget about Alt-Tabbing. Note that the secondary display actually has a higher resolution than the primary display, but this is a smart choice considering that it is also smaller, and positioned closer to the user. The secondary display has a handy slider that allows you to adjust the brightness on the fly. The primary display is a 16 inch QHD+ 16:10 screen with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, while the secondary display is 14 inch 4K display with a resolution of 3840 x 1100 pixels.

The material used for the slash and the eye catches the light. This is… kind of cool, but would have been waay cooler if this space was used for displaying some stats such as CPU and GPU temperatures. Towards the bottom of the secondary display, there is a subtle ASUS ‘Fearless Eye’ logo, along with windows on the sides that open up directly to the motherboard below. The secondary display, or the ScreenPad Plus is pushed up towards the display, and is elevated from one side. ![]() The laptop passes the first quality test, which is that the base does not move upwards too when the lid is lifted with a single thumb. With all that out of the way, let us take a look at the device itself. The case for the laptop is made using sustainable packaging, and folds up neatly into a stand that elevates the laptop. ![]() The device is this surprisingly small laptop packed into this massive box, that contains everything that you need to use with the device, including the ROG Gladius III mouse, the ROG Fusion II 300 gaming headset which has RGB highlights to light up the back of your pinnae, and a laptop bag. As soon as you get the device, you can imagine using it for all sorts of scenarios, setting up control and monitoring software for the integrated secondary display, but as I found out, ASUS does a lot of the heavy lifting for you in this department. The top end hardware is meant to provide unparalleled multitasking capabilities. Of course this is a device made for practically everyone, ASUS is looking at the gaming market, as well as the market for creative professionals that every major manufacturer of gaming laptops is trying to capture as well. ASUS provides a rich and powerful suite of software for the ScreenPad Plus. ![]()
