The ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 is a strange beast. On the outside, it’s a regular gaming laptop, all angles, vents and cryptic glyphs. Open it up, however, and a weird hybrid of a machine emerges: an ultrawide, second display rising majestically, like a phoenix from the ashes of common sense, just to the rear of an RGB backlit keyboard.
It’s matched with one of the most powerful specifications you can squeeze into a modern laptop: a tenth-generation octa-core Intel Core i9-10980HK processor, 32GB of RAM, a pair of 1TB SSDs arranged in a RAID0 configuration, all accompanied by an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Super GPU and 4K main screen. (You can buy a configuration with a Core i7-10875H, RTX 2070 Super and 300Hz 1080p screen, but that still costs £3,000.)

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen the ScreenPad grace an Asus machine; that). But the design has been significantly refined for 2020.
