Latest Rog Zephyrus Gaming Laptop Sports Two Screens And A Unique

I'm debating how long it'd take for the novelty to wear off.

Have you ever looked at your laptop and thought you needed more screen space… vertically? I certainly haven't. Nevertheless, this new ROG gaming laptop offers just that. And there is at least one interesting way to use it for gaming.

The Zephyrus Duo. Fit with two 16-inch, 3K, 120 Hz, OLED screens, and one of which sits right where a keyboard usually would. The entire laptop is hinged: able to rotate up to 320° with a kickstand on the rear to sit it upright.

In the promo materials, Asus shows how one might use the second screen in a number of different ways. Including laying it flat for a large tablet surface, setting it upright in 'Book Mode', or flipping it into an A-frame via 'Tent Mode' and playing local co-op games with a friend on both sides of the device. Hey, that's… actually pretty neat.

There is a keyboard and trackpad. These are included on a separate, detachable slab that can be attached magnetically over the second screen. It can also be used separately via Bluetooth. The keyboard offers the same 1.7 mm key travel as normal Zephyrus laptops. So, for all intents and purposes, you'd not lose out on a more traditional laptop experience with the keyboard overlaid the second screen—the device looks a bit bulky with the keyboard installed, though.

Dual 16:10 3K 120 Hz/0.2 ms Nebula HDR Display with OLED

Up to 2 TB M.2 PCIe Gen5 SSD (via 2x upgradeable M.2 2280 slots*)

2 x Type-C Thunderbolt 4 with DP 2.1 + PD 3.0 (100 W), 2 x Type-A USB 3.2 Gen 2 10 Gbps, 1 x HDMI 2.1 FRL, 1 x SD Card Reader (UHS II), 1 x 3.5 mm Combo Audio Jack, 1 x Asus Rectangle Power Connector

Performance hasn't taken a knock here. Asus is opting for the very latest Intel processors—so new, in fact, we heard a lot more about them at Intel's press conference yesterday. Specifically, the Intel Core Ultra 9 Processor 386H. Asus has this noted multiple times as a 16-core/32-thread chip, though it's not. As per Intel's own specs page, it has 16 threads from 4 P-cores, 8 E-cores, and 4 LP E-cores—Intel disabled HyperThreading with Lunar Lake and hasn't brought it back for Panther Lake.
