Initial Impressions
If we talk about the design, build quality, internal specs, etc. it is one of the best laptops in the Nepali market. However, the secondary screen, I am somewhat skeptical about it. I use the MacBook Pro for a while, I didn’t find it useful. However, the ZenBook has a bigger secondary display it might come handy. For now, the support for that display is minimal. Nevertheless, the devices are already available in the market. And, of course, you need to have something to carry this expensive and delicate device, how about a professional-looking bags, check it out here.
