While some laptops are going for bigger screens, Asus has been offering a different solution: more screens. The Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 ($3,999.99 as tested, starting at $3,499.99) is the latest update to its line of dual-display gaming laptops, providing room for your chats, guides or other programs while you play games.
Asus has bumped up to the latest chips from AMD and Nvidia, including the Ryzen 9 7945HX "Dragon Range" CPU and GeForce RTX 4090 laptop graphics card. They work well enough, but to get maximum performance, we found that it's worth switching performance modes to the ones that use the most power.
The new main mini LED screen is colorful and extremely bright, rivalling the panels on many of the best gaming laptops. They look fantastic. Paired with a solid six-speaker system, games and just about everything else look and sound great.
But the keyboard and mouse, even a few generations in, are still awkward. It’s a good thing that Asus includes a wrist-rest in the box.
