#Is this ~~ADHD~~ Dual-screen Laptop good or bad?

Been out of the loop for... a while. Last major tech upgrade was 2019 or earlier so the specs are all just numbers on me:

How's this looking broadly to your trained eyes?
I'm mostly needing it for DnD, especially DMing as the current PoS I have is, well a PoS.
However some light gaming on it would certainly be a bonus but I know I'm not running 2077 off of it any time soon!

And yes, I didn't know I needed a dual-screen laptop 'till I seen this and I know it's a bit gimmicky... But I'm ADHD as hecc and I know having even half a second screen's going to help me hugely.

Probably a geography thing

I can see it. Is that lower panel just a display? Not touch?

Changing any option on the second picture there changess all them to the other option and adds £500 to the price, which is a bit out of my range XD

If it's like the one I seen in the store today, and they both seem to be, both screens are touch because that's how the second screen functions. You swipe windows between them. Took some practice flicks but simple enough.
Issue was the damned program showing you how to do it actually prevented you from doing it 'till you closed it xd

#

I can take or leave touchscreen (although the current PoS being touch means I paw a the screens of my friend's non-touch laptops sometimes so wouldn't complain)

Just the second screen really appeals to the ADHD. Can manage without if the rest of the specs are crap though... probable...

To me the specs look decent enough for what you’re describing. The price point strikes me as a little high and I’d want a closer look at how the mechanism for the displays moving would work. But if I were in the market for something that could use for work and light games I’d probably be all over it for those touch options

Very light games, IGPUs are not great

#

On a strictly performance level, you are paying about 2x what a laptop without those displays would cost

I understand the fundamentals. I’m talking about how it’s structured and actually assembled

Same as on the ROG Zephyrus Duo

That doesn’t communicate anything to me

Hard to explain, but it works😃
