ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo (15.6-Inch, 2020)

Stunning looks ; Useful second screen ; Power to burn ; Excellent creative and gaming performance

A bit heavy ; Mediocre battery life ; Missing key ports

Great performance ; Intuitive secondary screen ; Gorgeous 4K screen ; Relatively thin and light

Insanely expensive ; Poor battery life

New, lower starting price ; Innovative, angled secondary display ; AMD Ryzen 9 5000 CPU delivers chart-topping performance ; Retains sleek portable build despite added power ; Muscular enough to leverage 120Hz refresh of 4K main display

Still pricey (especially as configured in our test model) ; GeForce RTX 3080 of questionable worth versus competing RTX 3070 systems ; No webcam

With AMD's and Nvidia's latest components joining the party, the dual-screen Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 gaming laptop is now even more powerful, and it has a lower starting price. It's a joy for early adopters and streamers.

Legitimately useful second screen ; Decent gaming performance ; Nice 4K display

No webcam ; Quite expensive ; Awkward keyboard and touchpad placement

The Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 puts two screens in one 15-inch chassis. But it’s more than a gimmick. The second screen is useful, and the system puts forth some decent gaming performance.

The twin-screen Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 is the rare laptop that does something completely new, and executes it well. It's priced out of reach for the average user, but we applaud this peek into a possible future for gaming notebooks.

A tilt-out second screen! ; Top-of-the-line performance

Very expensive because of the second screen ; Puzzling performance on low-intensity gaming

All this work Asus has put into the ROG Zephyrus Duo would be meaningless if it weren't worth the effort to have a second display. The primary display in our case is a 15.6-inch 60Hz 4K panel. It's factory-calibrated, G-Sync-certified, and can hit 100...

Gorgeous design ready for work or play ; Beautiful displays ; Powerful overall and gaming performance ; Good battery life ; Seriously fast SSDs

Extremely expensive ; Runs hot ; Stiff keyboard

The Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 brings its dual-screen technology to gaming laptops and introduces the evolution of the genre.

Stunning dual displays ; Serious firepower ; ScreenPad Plus is a big add-on

Very high price ; Awkward tracker placement

Keyboard too cramped for gaming ; Performance not optimal for 4K gaming ; Gigantic 280W charging brick

Like I said in the beginning, the Zephyrus Duo 15 SE is very much a niche offering, meant only for a select set of users looking to maximise screen real estate without having to invest in a second monitor. But even for a niche device, the Zephyrus Duo...

300Hz color accurate display ; Multiple accessories included in the box ; Top tier CPU and GPU

No built-in web camera

The combination of the RTX 3080 Mobile and the Ryzen 5800HX works as expected and can easily handle any game or even workstation-grade software with ease. This is also a laptop that looks future-proof given it has a GPU with 16GB video memory and 32GB...
