Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 2023 GX650PZ

Extremely powerful gaming laptops from Asus with extravagant features and the most powerful hardware that can only be found in the mobile component market. Created primarily for wealthy gamers, e-sportsmen and enthusiasts who are ready to overpay for top-end hardware and advanced equipment. A characteristic feature of the series is the auxiliary touch display ROG ScreenPad Plus, located directly above the keyboard.

You can literally add anything to it, from a numeric keypad or a set of macros for some in-game actions, to a conditional map in RTS or a character development menu in any RPG. The laptop is based on an AMD Ryzen 9 (Dragon Range, Zen 4) processor with 16 physical cores, multi-threading support and turbo boost up to 5.4 GHz! The processor is paired with a top-end NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080/4090 graphics card with 12/16 GB of video memory with a power consumption limit of 165 watts.

To reveal the gaming potential of the graphics accelerator allows support for hardware ray tracing, which works in tandem with a seriously modified DLSS 3.0 artificial scaling system. Depending on the modification, the amount of DDR5 RAM can be up to 64 GB. To prevent this goodness from boiling inside the laptop case, Asus engineers positioned the second display at an angle so that hot air freely escapes from the air intakes located under it.

The CPU is cooled by Thermal Grizzly, a liquid metal thermal paste that lowers the CPU temperature by 15°C compared to regular thermal paste. To make every game frame look extremely clear, the manufacturer installed 16-inch screens built on the basis of miniLED matrix in all laptops, which are chic in every sense. The screen displays an image with a resolution of 2560x1600 pixels, the highest refresh rate of 240 Hz, an instant response speed of 3 ms and natural color reproduction.

Support for HDR10 and Dolby Vision delivers a wider dynamic range and more realistic color reproduction, producing deep blacks and bright whites. Built-in AMD FreeSync keeps your GPU and screen in sync, preventing screen tearing and stuttering. In addition, the Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 is equipped with a card reader, a Face ID camera, a 6-speaker stereo system with Dolby Atmos, and modern HDMI 2.1 and USB4 ports with Thunderbolt support.
