![]() ![]() And yet load endurance is almost 4 hours. Yes, nominal capacities are typically determined at a much higher draw where it's going to be less. How can you claim 10 W average idle draw and then 22 hour idle endurance? That would take about 220 Wh. You need to do something about your power measurement methodology. I've got a USB PD trigger to Asus barrel jack (4.5mm x 3.0mm) adapter coming in the post so then I'll be able to charge this laptop off USB-C just as Asus should have allowed from the factory. I've even found a good pen-input notebook program so I spend a lot of time with work video calls on the top screen while I take notes on the bottom screen. The touch and pen element of the lower screen usually needs tying to the lower display but that's a couple of commands on each boot. ![]() I even have the IR camera working for login and sudo using a program called Howdy. ![]() Ubuntu 19.10 and Elementary OS didn't detect my wifi and a few other bits so I dropped them in favour of Manjaro which has been pretty flawless after choosing non-free GPU drivers. My primary LCD panel has already been replaced as my cats jumped on it, I went for a 14" IGZO panel with 70ms response time but double the contrast, 100cd/m^2 higher brightness and less power consumption than the stock display. My model doesn't have a touchscreen on the primary display (irritatingly, I was waiting for a dual touchscreen model and they've released it just after I bought) but it looks like they've done it with a glass overlay so I'd be interested to see how that's hooked up in case I can retrofit it. Sometimes to help with the trackpad limitations I extend a browser window across both monitors then use the bottom screen as a touchscreen to scroll. Dual screens has been amazing, usually I've got youtube or an IM window open on the bottom screen and some article I'm reading on the top. The keyboard placement is a bit awkward, the touchpad's too small, that could be helped if the front edge were lower to the table so you don't need a wrist rest. I've owned one of these for 15 days now and generally agree with this review. ![]()
