What is the cost of POWER? | ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 Review

I agree

[@LIA-52]

3:10 'HUGE heavy laptop'....and I sit here with my G703 Chimera, dual power brick version. I miss the truly huge and heavy gaming laptops from the olden days.

[@TheHamburgerInspector]

I personally run this laptop. Have had it for about 2 years, easily worth the money.

[@zdravkohorvat8522]

I bought mine in april and I absolutely love it ... yes, it is a battery hog, it is pricey, it is heavy ... but ... but it's gorgeous and powerful, even with my 4080 configuration, and added 2TB SSD on top of original 1TB. Mine is plugged in main literally all the time, so battery life isn't really a factor ... Great review 🙏👋

[@KevinEvangelista]

Totally agree! Thanks for sharing your experience with this laptop!

[@ambertervoort3744]

Hey I'm a graphic designer and I'm looking for a new laptop, do you think this could be a good laptop for my needs? I use all of the important Adobe programs.

[@zdravkohorvat8522]

@ambertervoort3744 Yes, I think it'll cater to your needs perfectly. The main screen is gorgeous, and the 2ndary screen acts as a dock for your tools, so the main screen stays uncluttered. I've bought mine mainly for gaming, though I've bought a standalone after that, so I'm not using this one for games that much anymore. But I'd say it's perfect for graphic design, photo editing, etc...

[@ambertervoort3744]

@@zdravkohorvat8522 That's great! I'd also like to use it for some animating in After Effects and a bit of videoediting in premiere pro, do you think this laptop would suffice for this aswell?

[@sheesh2519]

Damnnn just realised he has less subs ,the content is much better than huge channels ,they don't even explain it this well and way it's shooted is much better

[@EliteClyderX]

The thing to note is that the things you get in the box varies from region to region. Here in India, we don't get the 100W Power Brick, but we get a Backpack instead.

rly?

[@EliteClyderX]

@@mehmetkizilyokus yeah

[@chronoking4399]

I'd also add that if this is a fulltime desktop replacement, take out the battery (yes it will run without it) and enable hibernation because the heat generated by this laptop will kill it overtime even with the the battery lifespan protection toggled on.

[@NVGEAR]

lol Just to save yourself a $60 battery replacement? Not logical man. Just get a brand new battery in 2-3 years. 😂

Awesome, thank you very much!

[@qaz3761]

Love your editing style and your video is organized. Thank you for this review!

[@cohenlu9963]

U can probably increase the battery life to 6h+ if u turn on silent mode, set display to 60hz Everytime u unplug, turn off the second screen, set GPU mode to eco/optimized so it doesn't run the GPU since 4090idle drains tons of battery

[@maxmoch6044]

I have one with the 3070ti and Ryzen 9. Its actually an insane peace of tech and i love using it every day. I would have never bought it new, i bought it for 1800€ used. I kind of need the secondary display everywhere i go just to monitor something like discord, youtube music or watch some tutorials and making the main thing one the primary screen. Battary and the Trackpadproblem was never a problem for me just because i have it always plugged in and using a mouse.

[@Leavenfish]

VERY nice review. I have found one with a 4800 GPU and 64BG RAM at $300 USD off. Two questions: 1. The smaller screen: is it easy to put, say an EXCEL document there to work on or perhaps a browser to surf the internet while working on an application in the main screen. 2. If you are not using the GPU much, can you run the CPU at say 10-12 cores fairly well maxed out for many 30 min or more at a time and not reach bad thermal throttling? I ask because I really want a laptop with the 7945 HX (for its multi threaded abilities) and the selection is fairly limited. The Asus ROG Strix G17...but there are some things about it I do not like.

[@renderinginprogress]

I had the previous version of this for 3+ years (3090rtx). Laptop turned off randomly at times, when I closed it and reopened it had restarted (sleep function was basically non-existant), bugged out all the time, crashed. Sent it back to Asus twice in total, they inspected it and said it was fine, problems permitted and they never bothered to help after. This went on and off for 3 years, troubleshooting with the support team, until I cracked and sold it for petty cash as it was going no where. Paid 5k + What a waste. Good to see the newer version is supposedly better.

[@graytower1786]

Sa presyo pong 380k makaka pg build na po ng high end gaming pc , with monitor,keyboard and mouse Kung nilagay po lahat ng spec na to sa rog strix scar 17 ,tingin ko mas better yun na high end gaming laptop for its price

[@TX.Raider]

Amazing review!! I purchased the Zephyrus G14 fully upgraded, but it came in, and the screen didn't work! Then i came across the duo as I'm sending this one back in trying to make the decision on having mine replaced or refunded to purchase this duo. It is a very tough decision!

[@feraldrgn]

I wonder if the 2nd screen was just an excuse to allow extra airflow & that the setup would run too hot if the gap wasn't there & the keyboard was pushed back. The compromises were too much for me though.

[@abhijithnarayan1370]

Scarlet Fire being your speaker test music brings so much joy to my heart.

[@RentedLipz]

Can you use USB-C power adapter for charging this unit? Power adapter looks huge for traveling?

[@JinKee]

Yes. You can charge the machine from the left usbc power delivery port only. When i do it on mine it pops up a warning that says: low power delivery detected, close some apps to prolong battery life.

[@TwistedkittensGaming]

Loved the video. Funny thing, I just purchased one of these to carry with me to the Philippines to remotely manage my game servers while I am there for around a month. Talking about battery life. I have a Lenovo Legion Y740 with an RTX 2060. Now it games alright at medium settings, but even if I turn brightness down half way, I only get about 30min of runtime out of her. I have learned that if it has discrete graphics in it, you can probably assume your battery life is gonna suck. We don't buy gaming laptops because we can game on battery. We buy them just because it's easier to travel with it vs carrying your whole desktop rig. Lol. So I don't think anyone should expect good battery life. Now I am able to extend my battery life on my Lenovo by going through integrated graphics instead of always through the RTX. However, I don't believe you can do that with the zephyrus duo. But I guess I'll see what I think about it when I get it. I would not have gotten it if I didn't get it on a sale! Lol. Thanks.

[@NEMISES1701]

Bought the 32 gig a few days ago, I love it so far but mine did not include the mini charger nor the headphones. would of been nice. YES it it loud when gaming, but had hard coil whine and feedback issues with the 3.5 jack Even on Bluetooth. Had to do a Bios update than reinstall plus a special update from ASUS that was not available till contacted support.

[@Mezjo]

I love the keyboard placement. Wish more laptops would put keyboard front

[@Fluffyninja7]

I have this with all the bells and whistles hooked to a Samsung neo g9 and a lg c2 65” OLED. ITS NICE

[@KevinEvangelista]

That's a great setup my mans! I've got a similar setup too (Zephyrus Duo 2022 connected to a Lenovo Y44W-10), but yours is much better! Happy gaming!

Respect, my dude. John Mayer is my favorite modern guitarist, that's why he's in the background a lot in my videos!

[@deuxmaster]

This exact laptop arrived yesterday and the ONLY notable issue (if you can call it that way) is the very short battery life, I understand that both the GPU and Integrated Graphis from the CPU are very power hungry and that this is made for power but it would have been nice if it lasted a but longer, besides that it's perfect

[@gentamustaine]

How long were you able to use it before it is completely drained?

[@deuxmaster]

@@gentamustaine basically if you wanna game on battery with both the screens and the keyboard backlight you get 1 hour, if you use it casually with the second screen turned off, silent mode and the keyboard backlight turned off, you can get up to 4 hours max

[@nikamekvevrishvili6739]

I've been thinking of purchasing this one for myself, could you tell me how the temperatures been holding up? any notable issues?

[@deuxmaster]

@@nikamekvevrishvili6739 with the cpu boost active (doesn’t matter the boost mode) the cpu goes up to 99ºC when doing intensive tasks, if you disable the boost it reaches top temperaturas around 83-86ºC which is much better, the GPU heats up around the same temps while maintaining excellent performance, a very very solid machine, I strongly recommend it (I also strongly recommend disabling the cpu boost, at least if you want the laptop to lasts for a long time)

[@Ultrakillerism]

The problem is that current limits on laptop batteries is 99Wh due to airline regulations on devices with lithium batteries: ASUS wouldn't have seen the point to add an extra 9Wh because it wouldn't help at all, and making the laptop impossible to take on a plane is fundamentally unacceptable.

[@eddiebombay]

Damn, after watching your video I don't even know if I should get one or not. Currently I have an Asus Flow x13 with an RTX A6000 via eGPU.

[@Eesydu]

Do you recommend this laptop for traveling,for school and overall ?

Merong mas mura yung zephyrus duo rtx 4090 with 32 gb ram & 2 tb ssd nasa 242,000 pesos At yung iba nasa 250k ang benta 64gb ram 4 tb ssd

[@morsebaittackleco.5250]

I don't know a whole lot about computers but if I wanted one of these but the ryzen 7 rtx3060 version to not spend $4,000 on a laptop how does that stack up performance wise against the ryzen9 rtx4090 version. My main use will be for content editing and business, Im just attracted to the dual screen display for cutting up video segments on a separate screen. I'm not a big time video editor but I do want a laptop that is just as capable as my imagination and creativity can be.

[@averycalderon3917]

I would 100% buy one with an 18 inch screen

[@jcurry3school]

I had the former 2020 3060 15" duo 551QM. I got my (2022) 4090 16" last week. I already had two 8tb m.2's; the Inland and the Rocket Q4 to push it to 16gb. I ordered the ram to push it to 96gb@4800. I'm wondering what else I needed to max it out? Also, what separate's it from the 2023 4090? I guarantee you, I did not pay $7,000 for the laptop but, it still isn't cheap. I think it's OCD at this point. 🤷‍♂

Kevin ... A piece of advice. Wanna make it cooler than this ridiculous 99°Celsius ? Open up that Tin Can , remove the pipes , " Yes, you will most likely have to remove the fans " Get Rid of this garbage liquid metal and replace it with MX 6 thermal paste . Did it on my M16 zephyrus 3070ti . Night and day . ASUS should be fucking ashamed for the cooling paste job they do . Open it it up and look at it yourself you're up for a big surprise . Good luck and great great video man the best one out there !

[@KevinEvangelista]

Thanks for the tip, I'm actually looking to re-paste my Zephyrus Duo 2022. Will definitely do this and make a video of it!

[@BLACKPANTHERFIGHTER]

@KevinEvangelista good thing they went with Ryzen ... Never Ever again a Intel way to hot of a chip . The only reason I'd upgrade to another Asus this time a duo would be because of the extra openi that provides additional cooling. If there was another manufacturer that would make duos I'd never go back to Asus . I've seen bad jobs with thermal paste... but this was just a shame . Mx 6 dropped my temp over 20 Degrees . Tells you something. Take care
