It’s called the Zephyrus Duo for a reason, and that’s because it has dual screens. The concept is not new, ASUS already has two dual screens notebook already in the market in the form of the ZenBook Pro Duo UX581 and the smaller ZenBook Duo UX481.

The Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 is an eye-catching gaming laptop that looks to pack as much horsepower as it can into an impressively sleek design. The specs look set to rival the best of the best when it comes to gaming and creative workstations – and it has a hefty price to reflect this. It's obviously the dual-screen setup that's most fascinating, but whether Asus can get the developer support to make the most of it remains to be seen.

As far as price and availability goes, we have no idea. It’s also not out of the question that there’s going to be significant delays getting this notebook here because of the medical emergency we’re all experiencing.

You can never have enough of a good thing and the newly announced ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 is perfect evidence of that as it takes everything gamers want in a gaming laptop – a svelte design and powerful specs – then, dials it to 11 while adding in a little something extra: a tilted 14-inch 4K touchscreen dubbed the ROG ScreenPad Plus that acts as a secondary interface and to offer more screen real estate.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
