Hi! I am looking for a laptop mainly to learn CAD and 3d modelling, MATLAB, Ansys and all other programming languages.
But I need a laptop on which I can also carry out my hobbies like video editing, digital art, music production.
I was eyeballing Asus zenbook pro duo as it almost fits my demands but I'm seeing mixed reviews about it. Can someone suggest me a laptop that would fulfill my requirements with minimum compromise? Preferably with a stylus available.
My budget is from $1500- $2000

Well, digital art is not my career, so you'd better ask some specialists (or live with them!). But they use workstations with Nvidia Quadro GPUs, iMacs, high precision stylus pens, specific tools and so on. Some professionals even don't use digital pens in the first step. They draw and paint with whatever their materials are and then convert their artworks to curves and lines (vector graphics) and then advance to next steps like adding color, etc.

I was about to suggest an MSI GS65 Stealth with Nvidia RTX graphics card with a Wacom Intuos Pro bought separately until I read the last paragraph of your post.
ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo is tremendous and does everything. Haven't had one, but If you can afford it, I think you shouldn't be thinking of any other laptop!

How is Asus proart studio book compared to the zenbook pro duo? Actually I want to try digital art more as an hobby than professionally. My main focus is going to be on AutoCad, Matlab, ansys, python those sort of softwares.
