I think this is really interesting. I think the display and the keyboard should be swapped--but I suppose they tested this and their configuration is preferred?
I can't see this catching on but maybe it would. I am not the target in any case. But very cool design. I like when new concepts are explored in tech.
They did not discontinue their cooling-focused max-q designs with this layout. The more standard models you’re speaking of are separate (not replacements).
Is the screen on bottom also OLED. Then its lots of hardware for 3K price. I wish they had used better SSD at this price despite optane. QLC SSD at 3K is too much.
As edzz111 said, 2nd screen isn't OLED. And you can get a Clevo laptop with the exact same OLED panel, a GTX 2070, and much better I/O options for $1,800.
It's expensive, but they can get away with it since there is really nothing like it. The same way the Surface Pro was $1000+ when it launched with $600 specs.
And before that, the Samsung tablet was $1250. I got one as a prize and sold it - then bought a Surface Pro clearout a year or so later for half that. The battery is bulging out and it's probably close to dying now, but five years (four of them doing almost constant work) isn't a terrible run.
Is the lower display a regular windows display, or is it limited to running asus proprietary apps? Extra toolbars in lower display would be great for developers!

They've already done that in their gaming laptop series, and they've discontinued the design in favor of a more traditional layout.ciparis - Sunday, September 1, 2019 - link

Dude its two 4K OLED screens with DisplayHDR certification. It's a miracle its less than $3000 to begin with.trivik12 - Friday, August 30, 2019 - link

It's viewing angles are 178 so it's probably IPS lcdLolimaster - Friday, August 30, 2019 - link
See your eyes bleed with a crappy ips speciallyo. dark content while you display the dark content on the oled panel, even worse at night.nico_mach - Friday, August 30, 2019 - link
And an i9 with discrete graphics! That's a lot of computer!? $2k is perfectly reasonable.samerakhras - Tuesday, September 3, 2019 - link
$3K with i9 ...Freakie - Saturday, August 31, 2019 - link

This is very interesting, and potentially useful. The price is reasonable too.Vitor - Friday, August 30, 2019 - link
I would prefer one with just the traditional screen.MarcusMo - Sunday, September 1, 2019 - link
