Stunning looks ; Useful second screen ; Power to burn ; Excellent creative and gaming performance

A bit heavy ; Mediocre battery life ; Missing key ports

Gorgeous design ready for work or play ; Beautiful displays ; Powerful overall and gaming performance ; Good battery life ; Seriously fast SSDs

Extremely expensive ; Runs hot ; Stiff keyboard

The Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 brings its dual-screen technology to gaming laptops and introduces the evolution of the genre.

Bloatware Bad trackpad Very expensive

The Asus Zephyrus Duo GX550 is an absolute powerhouse of a gaming laptop with one of the most imaginative designs we've seen in a while. However, a couple of missteps and a high price make it hard to recommend to anyone but a very specific type of user.

High end CPU and GPU give great gaming results.
