ASUS often uses the keyboard as an air intake on its gaming laptops, but with a second screen covering the entire bottom portion of the Zephyrus Duo, that isn't possible. Instead, it has an oversized intake panel on the bottom of the PC to feed the fans inside. ASUS built a custom vapor chamber here to cover nearly 50% of the motherboard, and it uses a Graphite Nano insulation layer between the board and the OLED display. Something I've never seen before is an angled exhaust vent that doubles as a raised footing. It's joined by a much larger heatsink exhaust running along the entirety of the b

ASUS offers two ROG Zephyrus Duo (2026) configurations. The more affordable model (GX651AR) costs $4,499.99 and comes with the Intel Core Ultra 9 386H CPU, NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti mobile GPU, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD. ASUS also has a model with an RTX 5090 mobile GPU and otherwise identical specs for $5,499.99. That's a full $1,000 upcharge for the RTX 5090, as both models have the same displays, ports, cameras, etc. Here's a deeper look at the specs available in the new ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo.

Despite having a larger display, a larger battery, and overall slightly larger dimensions, the ASUS Zenbook A16 weighs less than the MacBook Air 15. It's not exactly a close margin, either, with the A16 coming in at 2.65 pounds (1.2kg) and the MacBook Air 15 weighing 3.3 pounds (1.51kg). I also want to note that the Zenbook A16's footprint isn't wildly larger than the Air 15. The Z-height (thickness) is really the biggest difference, with Apple's laptop maintaining its lead at 0.45 inches (1.15cm) compared to 0.54-0.65 inches (1.38-1.65cm). ASUS uses a "Ceraluminum" material for its chassis, a
