So this is the 2019 ZenBook Pro, and this is a device that gets updated pretty regularly by Asus,like every year there's some kind of iterative change to this thing,

but this year in 2018, they brought something that was... well, I think this is the first true innovative, laptop technology that I've seen in quite a while

So every year we're seeing like things like thinner bezels, better materials lighter materials, thinner laptops, which are cool and everything,

but they don't really change the way that we actually work with our laptops, right?

They're nice upgrades and stuff like that, but THIS, is different

This is a screen that's built into the touchpad,

so you can run it as a screen-pad-thing where you're running basically Asus apps and an Asus interface,

so you can pull it down and you'll see stuff like your calendar, a number pad,

so this keyboard doesnt actually have number pad, but you can use the number pad feature on the bottom thing,

a calculator, and you have your Spotify music player & you have other apps that Asus can develop and put onto this screen pad interface.

Now you can also run as a secondary display, which is actually pretty cool,

so it essentially is a smaller, secondary screen that you can just kind of use to drag-and-drop your programs,

or your Windows folders, or whatever you would use your secondary display for.

Now, Mac (like the Apple Mac books),

they have that touch bar at the top and I said this in my original review,

but the utility of that strip, like the actual functionality of that strip, is pretty limited,

and it's highly dependent on the developer, so you need Adobe or whatever app you're using,

you need those developers to create functionality in that strip for the user,

which is cool, but it's not nearly as functional, or even practical

as something like this screen pad.

So I've only been using this device for a couple of days, and my initial reaction was,

"Wow! That's really cool, like, you know, what can I do with it?"

but then like, the secondary immediate reaction was that,

"Is it really that useful because like your viewing angle on this thing isn't ideal, right?"

like if you're staring at your screen, like you normally would now you have to glance down to look at this secondary screen
