The GPU reported an average speed of 1,440 MHz and an average temperature of 78 degrees Celsius (172 degrees Fahrenheit).
The CPU ran at an average speed of 3.9 GHz and an average temperature of 87 degrees Celsius (188.6 degrees Fahrenheit). The game was very consistent, running between 65.5 and 65.95 fps, averaging 65.71 fps. To stress test the Duo 15 SE’s gaming performance, we ran Metro Exodus 15 times on a loop using the RTX preset. Next in Borderlands 3 (Badass preset) the Duo 15 SE put up arguably its best showing, easily beating everything else in the chart, save for once again the MSI at 1080p, which was 11 fps ahead. Moving to Red Dead Redemption 2 at medium settings, the Duo 15 SE managed to lose out to the Flow for the first time at 4K, while it bested everything here save for the MSI at 1080p. And once again the dual-screen laptop did better than the Flow at 4K - this time by an even 10 fps. Next up in Far Cry New Dawn (ultra), the trend continued with the Duo 15 SE lagging behind the Leopard, basically tying the Aorus and besting the Flow X13. But once again, at 4K, the Zephyrus Duo easily bested the Flow X13 and its external GPU. On the Grand Theft Auto V benchmark (very high), the ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 SE did better, delivering 111 fps at 1080p, enough to best the Asus and Gigabyte competitors, but again slipped behind the MSI. At 4K, it ran the game at 36 fps, slightly behind the ROG Flow X13 with XG Mobile dock. At 1080p/highest settings, it trailed well behind MSI's laptops, delivering 90 frames per second. Things don’t look great at first for the Zephyrus Duo 15 SE at first in our Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark. And while the flashy RGB keyboard and on-by-default animations are gamery and aggressive, they can be switched off or toned down, resulting in a laptop that wouldn’t look terribly out of place in an office. The magnesium-aluminide that Asus uses for the laptop’s shell helps keep the weight down, while this time delivering a darker black hue over the blue-on-grey of the previous model. The MSI GP66 Leopard is a little lighter but thicker, at 5.25 pounds and 14.09 x 10.51 x 0.92 inches, without making room for a second display. But for a 15.6-inch gaming laptop with top-end components (two 1TB NVMe SSDs are included, along with 32GB of RAM in this configuration), it’s far from bulky. Is it gimmicky? Sure, but it’s also quite well done.Īt 14.1 x 10.6 x 0.8 inches and 5.29 pounds, the ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 SE is no ultraportable.
Asus zephyrus duo movie#
An animation briefly plays on the lower screen as the system boots, conjuring images of a spaceship console in a Marvel movie before settling into the Windows 10 Pro desktop.
When you turn the laptop on, the keys flash red and dance across the board, and the lower ScreenPad lifts up as you open the lid (to both improve viewing angles and aid in cooling). It both looks good and feels solid and premium, but the end result is a cramped keyboard and misplaced mousing device. In essence, it’s a fairly slim, blocky laptop chassis with a second screen above the keyboard that lifts up when you open the lid. And there’s still no webcam, which feels like a painful omission in a world where so many of us are still working, learning and gaming from home.įor the most part, the ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 SE GX551 retains the clever and solid design of last year’s model. But as is pretty much always the case with dual-screen portables (at least so far), the keyboard and touchpad suffer quite a bit for the sake of that second screen. There’s a lot to like here, including surprisingly good battery life and great productivity performance. The result is a novel powerhouse and one of the best gaming laptops, with a handy, roomy second screen to let you do and monitor other things while battling your opponents. The SE model also gets a darker shell and a couple more speakers for a little low-end thump.
Asus zephyrus duo plus#
Asus’ second-generation dual-screen gaming laptop, the ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 SE GX551 ($2,199 to start, $3,699 as tested), takes everything that was good about last year’s ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 GX550 and adds a 120Hz 4K display that’s bright and colorful, plus more powerful components (in the form of AMD’s Ryzen 9 5900HX and Nvidia’s RTX 3080 in our top-end configuration).
