80% Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 SE review: Outstanding, complex and costly
Source: India Today
The possibilities are endless with ROG's premium gaming product. The Zephyrus Duo 15 SE can run the most demanding of games and tasks with ease, it is equipped with the best of both hardware and software for seamless operations, and it is sports aesthetics that are nowhere to be seen among the competition. All in all, the Zephyrus Duo 15 SE is one gaming laptop you will drool over and for all the right reasons. There are, of course, some shortcomings, though these are largely ignorable. What can't be ignored is the mammoth price tag on the laptop of Rs 3 lakh. It then becomes hard to justify such an amount of money simply for the device's peak performance. You then consider the worth of the secondary display on the Zephyrus Duo 15 SE and treat it as a luxury rather than a necessity. For those who do not mind spending all that money - go for the Zephyrus Duo 15 SE. Others can probably get equal specs at a much low.er price point if they give up on the temptation of the ScreenPad Plus

Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 15SE (2021) Gaming Laptop Review: An Excellent Desktop Replacement For Content Creators
Source: Tech2.in.com
The Duo 15SE is an excellent laptop and a worthy upgrade over its predecessor. For certain use-cases, particularly when streaming, the secondary display almost feels essential. Performance is great, the display is bright and fast, and battery life is excellent. If you have a very clear idea of what you want to do with that secondary display, and have Rs 3 lakh to spare, go for the Duo 15 SE, because there’s nothing else like it right now.

I know choosing a laptop, especially a gaming laptop, is getting hard these days. But the Zephyrus Duo 15 SE isn’t for those who spend their money consciously. This notebook is for those who want the best one, and who have surplus money to splurge on Louis Vuitton bags and the ROG Zephyrus Duo without a second thought.

80% Asus Zephyrus Duo 15SE review: Double delight
Source: Gadgets Now
The addition of a secondary display added a freshness to the laptop and also brought a new way to work. At the price of Rs 2,99,000, the Zephyrus Duo 15SE seems to be a complete package as it can easily handle anything, thanks to the AMD Ryzen 9 5900H processor and 32GB of RAM. The ScreenPad+ software is not improved and it offers tons of practical features rather than just being a gimmick. Also, the gaming performance, battery life, display quality and everything else is top-notch here. If you are looking for a really powerful machine that can handle anything without breaking a sweat, then Zephyrus Duo 15SE is the laptop to go with. Sure, there’s a price to pay but it’s worth every penny spent. As we say ‘it can be a creator’s machine by day and a gamer’s paradise at night’.

Review: Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 SE GX551
Source: Hexus
Ryzen 9 5900Hz and GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop are about as good as it gets, there's ample connectivity, the four-speaker sound system is impressive, and the goodness of the 4K 120Hz primary display is augmented by a 3,840x1,100 ultrawide that, while not as vibrant, succeeds in offering extra desktop real estate in a portable 15.6in form factor.

Two screens and super-powered components make the Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 SE GX551 a potent laptop, but it has issues, including an incredibly heavy and bulky design and an awkward keyboard. It's very, very expensive as well.

More conservative buyers may feel that despite all the features on offer and remarkable specs, for every area where the Zephyrus Duo triumphs, it's somewhat hindered by practical concerns. The high-end components and the ScreenPad inflate the price, and with alternative components not far behind in terms of performance and other laptops without second screens proving far more affordable, it leaves the GX551 a more ideal option for hardcore users only.

The Zephyrus Duo has more power than any other laptop we’ve tested. The dual-screen design can be useful in some scenarios, and the machine is surprisingly slim. The second screen is hardly an essential, though, and it hampers keyboard and trackpad quality. Also, the GPU can’t handle demanding 4K gaming, and the Asus is expensive and sometimes hot and loud. If you’ve got money to burn and you’ll benefit from the second screen, then the Asus is an impressive showcase of new technology, but most people will be better off saving a big chunk of money and buying a conventional laptop.

85% Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 SE Review — An Addictively Powerful Machine
Source: Pokde
The ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 SE builds upon its predecessor in a pretty big way. The display has been upgraded to a 4K 120Hz panel, which provides the sharpness I expect of a flagship-class content creator laptop in 2021, without sacrificing on the fluidity that I want on a gaming laptop. The display is without a doubt the perfect balance between the two worlds. To support the more demanding display, the CPU and GPU under the hood is also significantly beefier, and yet the ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 SE still deliver better battery life than its predecessor. But these are not the only impressive things about the ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 SE.

The cooling system is improved, too, to make sure you can keep those new components running at top performance. While much of the rest of the Duo remains unchanged from last year, Asus did add one small new feature: A microSD 4.0 card reader.

15.60":

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.

2.508 kg:

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.

Asus: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. is a major Taiwanese computer hardware manufacturer based in Taipei, founded in 1989. Under the Asus brand name, the company manufactures a wide range of products, including laptops, desktops, motherboards, graphics cards, monitors, smartphones and networking equipment, complete systems and PC components for end users.

Under the ROG (Republic of Gamers) brand name, ASUS manufactures gaming laptops known by gamers for their powerful specifications, dedicated graphics cards, high refresh rate displays and advanced cooling systems.

Beyond gaming, a wide range of notebooks are offered for different needs and budgets, from ultra-slim and lightweight ultrabooks to versatile 2-in-1 convertibles and budget-friendly options. In 2023, Asus had a 7% global market share of the PC market.

Customer satisfaction with ASUS notebooks concerns performance, the features, and the good price-performance ratio of ASUS notebooks. However, as with any brand, there are occasional reports of problems such as overheating, driver compatibility, or build quality issues.

85.26%: This is an above-average rating. Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that about one fifth of all tested models receive a better rating.
