There's plenty of potential in this extra panel, especially considering it boasts a crisp 3840 x 1100 resolution and responds to taps particularly quickly. It's touch-sensitive as well, which means you won't need to wiggle your cursor all the way down to quickly navigate, and easily reachable when used both on the lap and on a desk.
ROG ZEPHYRUS DUO PLUS
The ROG ScreenPad Plus can be used to keep track of your stats in-game, control and view your chat when streaming, or simply act as a standard additional display during work. Of course, we're going to have to pay that second screen its due attention first.
Perhaps it's the lack of sloped corners or thicker grill sections but the Duo feels far slicker than these lighter machines. Yes, that's a chunkier laptop than the Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 or the Asus ROG Zephyrus M16, but it just doesn't feel like it in the hand. Measuring in at just under 3cm thick, it's on the smaller side of current-generation gaming laptops and doesn't pack a cumbersome weight at 2.67kg. In fact, I was impressed with just how slimline this machine is for all its extra features and power-hungry components. While I did notice performance dropping slightly (and one benchmark test cut out completely) when closing the lid slightly, there's plenty more airflow all around the machine here which is always a bonus.ĭespite all those moving parts, the Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 still feels sturdy and durable. In fact, the tilted angle of the screen actually provides additional cooling. Of course, it won't be for everyone so it's well worth putting some careful consideration into your typing style if you are looking to invest. In short, that extra screen doesn't sacrifice your keyboard or trackpad comfort, it just takes some minor tweaks to muscle memory.
ROG ZEPHYRUS DUO FULL
I was also able to comfortably type on the keyboard for the full work day without shifting my position too far from ordinary. Yes, I had to adopt a new method of using the trackpad when seated in a laptop position, but it certainly wasn't as unnatural as I had first imagined it to be. However, the whole experience was bizarrely comfortable. A simple diagonal line with an embossed ROG logo is all you get here, and it's really all you need. There's nothing loud or particularly 'gamery' about this design, and that's an easy trap to fall into when the inside of a machine looks as futuristic as this one. That's why it's so refreshing to see the same subtle iconography running along the back of the lid as the previous iteration. You can't pack a secondary display into a gaming laptop without seriously considering the aesthetic, functionality, and durability of the build. The Asus ROG Zephryus Duo line is all about the design.
