Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 GX550LXS in Review: Unique Gaming Laptop with Lots of Performance Below the Hood

[Redaktion]

With its powerful hardware, the Zephyrus Duo manages to display the latest games smoothly on its matte 4K screen (IPS, Pantone-validated, 100% AdobeRGB, G-Sync). There are other great features as well: 2x NVMe SSD (RAID 0), 32 GB of RAM (in dual-channel mode), Thunderbolt 3. Additionally, the laptop comes with many accessories.

Nice to see that it is possible to dissipate all this heat efficiently. Helps that the keyboard is further down, so you don't get the untouchable keys in the center of the top row that try to turn your fingertips into pork souvlaki.

Content creators would want a 16:10 screen though. And a lot lower idle power consumption/battery life.

The price is pretty hefty! Not sure the extra display is worth the cost.

Dazzling specs for an eye-searing price.
And very clear priorities...poor power optimization, high noise and an unusually hot bottom surface for what constitutes a proper generational bump compared to earlier 2080MQ competitors.
And that second screen is interesting too.

The 4K version Good to play fps Or there screen response time is bad?

Hi,

Is it possible to verify if it supports Oculus Rift S Display Port connection through TB3 on this laptop? I absolutely can't find any info on that online. ???

Thanks!

Yes, oculus rift s works just fine with usb-c/tb3 to DP adapter.

Please edit the accessories section with the disclaimer that all regions will not have everything bundled. My unit did not have the mouse, USB-C charger and worst of all, NO webcam. I trust notebookcheck reviews and I am sure a lot of others do as well, so please make it known so buyers know they need to check what they will get before buying. The bundles are not properly explained, and they will still charge you full price.
