Zephyrus Duo 16
AMD Ryzen 9 Performance
The system houses an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX mobile processor. Its eight cores can be boosted up to 4.9 GHz.
16" ROG Nebula HDR Mini LED Display
The 16" ROG Nebula display is powered by AMLED technology from AUO and ROG's own in-house backlight algorithm. This adaptive control technology utilizes image processing as well as dynamic dimming and boosting to create hyper-accurate local dimming, which reduces the blooming effect seen on some HDR panels. This Mini LED display features a 2560 x 1600 resolution, a 16:10 aspect ratio, a 165 Hz refresh rate, 3 ms response time, 10-bit color depth, and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut. The display is also VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certified, Pantone Validated, and has Dolby Vision support.
14" ScreenPad Plus
The ZenBook Pro Duo 16 includes a 14" tilting ScreenPad Plus, which is a secondary touchscreen. Powered by the ScreenXpert software, you can enhance your workflow and multitasking by extending your main display to the ScreenPad Plus, using its built-in apps to launch applications, view windows, use the second screen as a controller, and more.
ROG Intelligent Cooling
ASUS uses Thermal Grizzly's Conductonaut Extreme, which improves upon standard thermal pastes with 17 times higher thermal conductivity, resulting in up to 15°C cooler CPU temperatures. Used exclusively by ROG, this indium and gallium compound is unlike typical pastes, because liquid metal will also never dry out, improving long-term stability. There are also 84-blade Arc Flow Fans with a variable thickness design to reduce resonance and turbulence, while moving up to 13% more air.
Wireless Capabilities
Connect to local wireless networks with Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) technology, which stabilizes your connection and increases upload and download speeds. Bluetooth 5.2 capabilities allow you to use wireless peripherals such as headphones and mice.
Windows 11
Microsoft Teams Integration
Stay connected with friends, family, coworkers, and clients with Microsoft Teams Chat integrated onto the Windows 11 taskbar. With a touch, you can connect to your contacts via text, voice, and video, regardless of whether they're using Windows, Android, or iOS devices. You can also communicate with those who don't have the Teams app installed using two-way SMS messaging.
A New Start Position
Windows 11 has been completely redesigned from its predecessor to emphasize productivity, creativity, and ease of use. The customizable Start Menu is now at the center of the taskbar and utilizes the cloud, allowing you to quickly find and access recent files, regardless of what platform or device was previously used to view them. The streamlined Start Menu design also lets you pin apps and recent files in addition to powering down the system.
Making Productivity a Snap
Multitask with speed and efficiency with the ability to snap apps side by side. Snap Layouts and Snap Groups help to keep your windows organized using different layouts that are designed to fully optimize your screen space, no matter its size and resolution. Windows 11 also remembers their positions, so you can resume from where you left off when selecting Snap Groups from the task bar, allowing you to switch between both individual applications and entire projects. Snap Layouts are also automatically restored when docking laptops with external monitors.
Adapting to You
The Adaptive Input feature automatically optimizes the Windows 11 interface to however you prefer to interact with your device, whether it's using a mouse, keyboard, touch, voice, or handwriting.
Next Level Gaming
Windows 11 is designed to deliver smooth, immersive gaming experiences with DirectX 12 Ultimate providing realistic graphics at high frame rates while Auto HDR automatically adjusts your game's lighting and contrast for high dynamic range. DirectStorage technology streamlines data access to better take advantage of high-speed devices such as NVMe solid-state drives and directly from graphics cards without dragging down the CPU, which minimizes load times while helping to reduce artifacts such as texture popping. Topping it all off is Xbox Game Pass integration, which provides you with access to a massive library of games with a membership subscription.
Additional Windows 11 Pro Features
The Pro version of Windows 11 includes all the features that Windows 11 Home offers plus many designed specifically for business users, including Hyper-V virtualization, BitLocker disk encryption, and remote desktop access. Devices can also join domains and the Azure Active Directory and have access to Enterprise device management features. Windows 11 Pro does not require a Microsoft Account or an internet connection when setting up for the first time.
Redesigned Microsoft Store
The Microsoft Store is rebuilt from the ground up for a streamlined experience when looking for content such as apps, games, movies, and shows. Apps downloaded from the Store have been tested for security and family safety. Android apps will also be available on the Microsoft Store through the Amazon Appstore and can be used directly on your PC from the taskbar or Start Menu.
