I've been rocking an Asus zenbook duo(first gen from like 2020) for a few years now. Well... Since 2020. It has to be said, in the case of the zenbook, there's a lot of compromise in terms of user experience. The small screen is useful on the go but I do use a desktop computer 95% of the time. I'm ignoring the fact that the linux drivers are a bit of a pain in the ass. The bigger problem is the fact that although you gain some additional screen area, the keyboard is a bit awkward but nowhere nearly as awkward as the trackpad. It is practically unusable so you need to carry around a mouse with you. Setting those things aside, I have mixed feelings about adding more hinges to laptops. In my experience the hinges have always been the Achilles' heel of laptops. Also any additional screen adds up a fair bit of weight which seems trivial until you end up stranded on an airport for 20 hours and have to figure out how to take a nap on the bench while your stuff is secure(looking at my dumb younger self who decided to buy a 17 inch Sony laptop at the end of my first year in university). And the extra screen means your battery life will suffer. I mean yeah, I have 4 monitors on my workstation and when it comes to work, they actually make sense: one for a terminal and logging, one for actual code, one for documentation and one to manage chats and music. But when it comes to laptops... I'm not so sure anymore.
