![]() ![]() I’ve said it before, but I really appreciate it when laptop makers spread the ports out as they are on the Duo 16. On the rear of the laptop’s housing you’ll find three more ports – another standard USB port, an HDMI 2.1 port and a 2.5G Ethernet port. On the left side of the deck is where a 3.5mm headphone jack, a microSD card reader, a second USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port with Power Delivery and DisplayPort support, a standard USB 3.2 Gen 2 port and the charging port are found. On the right side of the deck is a single USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port that supports DisplayPort for connecting an external monitor. Along the top of the display is a 720P infrared camera that works with Windows Hello to use facial recognition for tasks such as signing in to your Windows account or logging into apps. The 16-inch display is sandwiched between two vertical bezels that are impressively thin. When you’re done, you long-press on the same button to go back to a standard touchpad. After a second or two, the touchpad displays a red numpad that you can use to quickly punch in numbers. ![]() To switch between the touchpad and number pad you long press on the small silkscreened button that’s on the touchpad itself. Underneath the display are a couple of airflow vents to help improve the cooling system.īelow the Screenpad+ is a revamped keyboard and a larger touchpad that can be transformed into a digital number pad. The resistance comes from the lid also pulling up the touch-capable Screenpad+ display, which rests at a 13-degree angle. As you lift the lid, you’ll feel a touch of resistance the further you push it up. The hinge connects on both outer edges of the housing, with another dot matrix-like design found on the back portion of the housing, along with status lights. The black exterior is broken up by a dot matrix design that’s cut in half diagonally on the lid by a blue and purple line, with the rest of the lid left plain, save for the ROG logo that uses the same blue and purple color scheme. Connectivity: WiFi 6E 802.11ax, Bluetooth 5.2.Ports: 1 x microSD card reader, 1 x HDMI 2.1, 1 x 3.5mm audio jack, 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C w/DisplayPort support, 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C w/DisplayPort support and power deliver, 1 x Ethernet, 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A. ![]() Graphics: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU, 16GB GDDR6.Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX 3.3GHz (20M cache, 4.9GHz max boost).Model: Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 (GX650R-XS97).It is reminiscent of the boat-shaped glass pane at the back of the ROG Flow Z13 2-in-1 gaming tablet by Asus.Here are the specifications of the Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 I’ve been testing: ![]() As the display angle widens, the ScreenPad Plus also lifts itself towards the user and exposes a glass window with a view of the motherboard inside, bathed in glorious RGB lights. It's gorgeous to look at, but more than just offering extra screen real estate, the whole assembly lifts up to offer some precious airflow space for colling the power-hungry internals. The ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 fits a secondary 14-inch elevating 4K display right under the main screen. However, once you open the lid, it becomes apparent that the Taiwanese company has done a mighty impressive job with engineering this machine. Tipping the scales at 5.73 pounds and with a thickness of 2.05 centimeters across, it is not the thinnest and lightest gaming laptop out there. The ROG Zephyrus series of laptops from Asus have traditionally sold the promise of a gaming laptop that doesn't look like a hulking gladiator's shield. ![]()
