Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 2022 GX650RX

An extremely powerful gaming laptop from Asus with the flagship AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX processor, one of the most powerful RTX 3080 Ti graphics cards on the market, a liquid metal thermal interface and an unusual ScreenPad Plus secondary display that sits right above the keyboard. On the second screen, you can display the main Discord window, game HUD, map, character development menu, hang the player in a convenient place or keep the temperature of the processor and video card in front of your eyes.

Due to the second screen, the keyboard is shifted to the lowest point, and so that the hands do not hang over it, the manufacturer added a neat removable stand, which visually increases the area of the device and keeps the hands in a comfortable position. Unlike the previous generation Zephyrus Duo laptops, the second screen now not only rises, but also slides back, visually uniting with the main display and revealing the air intakes hidden under it.

With this design, both displays appear to be a single unit, and the overall cooling efficiency is increased by 30%. Like other brothers in the Zephyrus Duo series, these laptops belong to the top level, are not cheap and are aimed at experienced gamers, e-sportsmen and enthusiasts in search of powerful and unusual hardware. The computing power of ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 is provided by a 16-core Ryzen 9 6900HX chip, which is complemented by 32/64 GB of fifth-generation RAM and an NVMe SSD with support for the PCI-E 4.0 system interface.

The top graphics cards from the GeForce 3XXX series are responsible for graphics processing - the RTX 3080 Ti with 16 GB of video memory and a TDP of 165 watts. A rather complex cooling system with several fans, a passive heatsink and Thermal Grizzly liquid metal thermal paste is designed to cool this stuffing. The screen uses high-end 16-inch IPS-matrices with a resolution of 3840x2400 pixels, fast response (3ms), support for HDR10 / Dolby Vision and a high refresh rate (240Hz), which is necessary for clear and smooth display of action scenes with high dynamics. Support for AMD FreeSync technology and highly dynamic HDR10 / Dolby Vision formats is also announced. Plus, it should be noted a high-end gaming keyboard with individual backlit keys, fast charging, a scattering of speakers with Dolby Atmos support, modern HDMI 2.1 and USB4 ports with Thunderbolt support, and a 2.5-gigabit network controller with Wi-Fi 6E.
