Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 review

A photo of the Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 15.

The Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 is quite possibly one of the most ludicrous gaming laptops I’ve ever come across. Specs-wise, it has all the bells and whistles you could possibly want. There’s a brand-new 10th Gen Intel Core i9 processor in here, along with a massive 32GB of RAM, an RTX 2080 Super Max-Q graphics chip and a pair of 1TB NVMe SSDs RAIDed together to form one enormous 2TB storage bank.

Normally, the specs alone would have been enough to put it squarely in ‘overkill’ territory, but that’s not even the tip of this mad iceberg. On top of all that, this laptop has not one, but two screens, and is one of the first dual-screen laptops to make its way to the UK (with a US launch to follow shortly). The first is a fairly traditional 15.6in 4K IPS panel with full-fat Nvidia G-Sync support. The other is a skinny 14.1in 3840×1100 touchscreen that rises up from the top of the keyboard automatically as soon as you open the lid. It is, in short, bonkers. Best of all, Asus want a cool £4000 for it.
