I bought mine in april and I absolutely love it ... yes, it is a battery hog, it is pricey, it is heavy ... but ... but it's gorgeous and powerful, even with my 4080 configuration, and added 2TB SSD on top of original 1TB. Mine is plugged in main literally all the time, so battery life isn't really a factor ... Great review 🙏👋

VERY nice review. I have found one with a 4800 GPU and 64BG RAM at $300 USD off. Two questions: 1. The smaller screen: is it easy to put, say an EXCEL document there to work on or perhaps a browser to surf the internet while working on an application in the main screen. 2. If you are not using the GPU much, can you run the CPU at say 10-12 cores fairly well maxed out for many 30 min or more at a time and not reach bad thermal throttling? I ask because I really want a laptop with the 7945 HX (for its multi threaded abilities) and the selection is fairly limited. The Asus ROG Strix G17...but there are some things about it I do not like.

Bought the 32 gig a few days ago, I love it so far but mine did not include the mini charger nor the headphones. would of been nice. YES it it loud when gaming, but had hard coil whine and feedback issues with the 3.5 jack Even on Bluetooth. Had to do a Bios update than reinstall plus a special update from ASUS that was not available till contacted support.

I had the former 2020 3060 15" duo 551QM. I got my (2022) 4090 16" last week. I already had two 8tb m.2's; the Inland and the Rocket Q4 to push it to 16gb. I ordered the ram to push it to 96gb@4800. I'm wondering what else I needed to max it out? Also, what separate's it from the 2023 4090? I guarantee you, I did not pay $7,000 for the laptop but, it still isn't cheap. I think it's OCD at this point. 🤷‍♂

@maxmoch6044 2 ай бұрын

I have one with the 3070ti and Ryzen 9. Its actually an insane peace of tech and i love using it every day. I would have never bought it new, i bought it for 1800€ used. I kind of need the secondary display everywhere i go just to monitor something like discord, youtube music or watch some tutorials and making the main thing one the primary screen. Battary and the Trackpadproblem was never a problem for me just because i have it always plugged in and using a mouse.

@feraldrgn 7 ай бұрын

I wonder if the 2nd screen was just an excuse to allow extra airflow & that the setup would run too hot if the gap wasn't there & the keyboard was pushed back. The compromises were too much for me though.

@chronoking4399 9 ай бұрын

I'd also add that if this is a fulltime desktop replacement, take out the battery (yes it will run without it) and enable hibernation because the heat generated by this laptop will kill it overtime even with the the battery lifespan protection toggled on.

Loved the video. Funny thing, I just purchased one of these to carry with me to the Philippines to remotely manage my game servers while I am there for around a month. Talking about battery life. I have a Lenovo Legion Y740 with an RTX 2060. Now it games alright at medium settings, but even if I turn brightness down half way, I only get about 30min of runtime out of her. I have learned that if it has discrete graphics in it, you can probably assume your battery life is gonna suck. We don't buy gaming laptops because we can game on battery. We buy them just because it's easier to travel with it vs carrying your whole desktop rig. Lol. So I don't think anyone should expect good battery life. Now I am able to extend my battery life on my Lenovo by going through integrated graphics instead of always through the RTX. However, I don't believe you can do that with the zephyrus duo. But I guess I'll see what I think about it when I get it. I would not have gotten it if I didn't get it on a sale! Lol. Thanks.

U can probably increase the battery life to 6h+ if u turn on silent mode, set display to 60hz Everytime u unplug, turn off the second screen, set GPU mode to eco/optimized so it doesn't run the GPU since 4090idle drains tons of battery

I don't know a whole lot about computers but if I wanted one of these but the ryzen 7 rtx3060 version to not spend $4,000 on a laptop how does that stack up performance wise against the ryzen9 rtx4090 version. My main use will be for content editing and business, Im just attracted to the dual screen display for cutting up video segments on a separate screen. I'm not a big time video editor but I do want a laptop that is just as capable as my imagination and creativity can be.

The problem is that current limits on laptop batteries is 99Wh due to airline regulations on devices with lithium batteries: ASUS wouldn't have seen the point to add an extra 9Wh because it wouldn't help at all, and making the laptop impossible to take on a plane is fundamentally unacceptable.
