Beneath it is a convenient 14.1" 3840 x 1100 resolution ScreenPad Plus touchscreen that gives you easy access to information and tools while allowing additional airflow to critical components such as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 GPU to maximize performance.

The ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 is equipped with a powerful 2.5 GHz AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX 16-Core processor is paired with 32GB of DDR5 memory and two 1TB M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSDs in RAID 0 mode that can load expansive game levels and demanding applications at lightning speed.

Designed to provide vivid and realistic visuals, the 16" 2560 x 1600 resolution mini-LED display has 1100 nits brightness and supports 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut with Dolby Vision HDR. At the same time, it delivers exceptional performance with a 240 Hz refresh rate and 3ms response time that significantly reduces motion blur from fast action games and videos. AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support synchronizes the display's refresh rate with the GPU's output to reduce lag, minimize stuttering, and eliminate screen tearing.
14.1" ScreenPad Plus
Updated with Corning Gorilla Glass DXC to reduce reflections and an anti-fingerprint coating, the tilting 14.1" ScreenPad Plus secondary touchscreen lets you get more done with support for a separately purchased stylus and customizable tools to enhance your multitasking workflow.
