The new ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 is one of the most powerful, expensive and exotic gaming laptops out there! But is it really... a gaming laptop?!

Yeah I know it's expensive but it's unique. I don't look at that 2nd screen as a gaming display but more like a screen where I could put other things on there like KZbin and on the other side a communication app like you mentioned.

I think this would be good for professional gamers that stream, using the second screen for OBS or other software needed, especially since it’s touch screen you can adjust settings on the fly without having to tab out. It also looks good for music production 😸

I've been using zenbook 14 duo from a couple of years now and I'd say this is a good upgrade once you get used to using the TouchPad and keyboard it's good also the 2nd screen really comes handy in any case so I'd NOT A marketing gimmick

7945HX mind blowing scaling due to efficiency of Zen 4 and 5nm TSMC node. CBR23 Multicore: At 65W -> 29000 At 128W -> 35000 Cons : Higher Idle power draw due to chiplet architecture ( separate I/O die) and so poor battery life (all 7045HX laptops). For the best balance of performance and battery, you have to stick with 6 or 8 cores monolithic APUs i.e Pheonix Range 7040HS series.

Too much problem with drivers. I bought this laptop and faced the problem of blue screens and a dead keyboard driver after a reboot. It turned out that the critical error was the fault of Aida64. But that's not all. AMD's Adrenaline Driver could also be the source of the problem. Many buyers complained about the unstable operation of the laptop.

This is definitely what ASUS is marketing the Zephyrus Duo 16 as a Gaming First and Creator Second laptop. Someone that reviews or play lots of games and uses the laptop as a secondary for content creation. Asus has another laptop with dual screen that is directed for those using content creating first and gaming second. Zenbook Pro Duo You need to study the ASUS line up before making such a comment

I got this version I use it for Unreal 5, Substance Painter, Blender, and all my game development. I use the second screen for all my shaders and color palettes and also for watching tutorials when working it's fucking amazing. This is not for playing games it is for professionals who are making games on the go :) If you are not a game developer it's not for you just get a gaming laptop. Also, you can turn off the second screen.

Funnily enough, buying this laptop is still cheaper then buying a display calibrator on its own. 16:10 apect ratio is perfect also for my timeline as well as the second screen having space for my hdr color knobs in DaVinci.
