ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo Gaming Laptop, 16” QHD, NVIDIA RTX 4080, AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX, 32GB DDR5, 1TB SSD, Win 11 Pro, GX650PZ-XS96

Blew my expectations out of the water. The Mini-LED display is beautiful to look at and even can make some of those HDR videos look lifelike, I felt I could reach through the display. I realized the reason why HDR is so good is because in real life, bright things can make you squint. We see things in sunlight that are bright and never really think about it. But on a computer, it being this bright mimics real life way more than I realized it would, and it's seriously impressive. it also has actual black like an OLED display which looks great. If anything the display can actually get too bright, so you have a lot of options even for outdoor use. The size and weight is actually less than I expected in person but the display is large. The keyboard feels like a standard laptop keyboard so you aren't missing anything there size wise. The trackpad is actually very convenient to use with its location but is a little small (but I knew that getting into this), but nothing I can't get used to or you can tune in windows to make it not feel small. It actually is quite large given where it is. Also the num pad feature I have actually been using. If you ever need the size just tap three fingers on the second display and it turns into the largest trackpad on any laptop yet. The second display has actually been helpful if I wanted a communication app or wanted to look something up while watching a video without needing to make the video smaller. Also works the other way around with having text for reading a review or an article while having the second display playing a background video. All of the bugs and issues that people have talked about months ago seem to have been mostly fixed. No freezing, crashing, flickering, or any other issues. Sometimes I would notice something every once in a while, but it's never something that is worth doing anything about as it would just go away. A little different from my old laptop so I think it's just Windows related rather than the laptop. Only had to restart the computer once or twice but that was because I was messing around with Asus's software and Windows software at the same time so I needed to restart to make it all work together. Overall I am very happy with my purchase and honestly, it's probably the coolest laptop I have used yet. The computer has a long road ahead with me starting college but overtime it should be getting better and better than it already is with each update. If you were worried about the keyboard situation and that was making you question if you should get it, just get it. I actually prefer it this way when using it on a desk. So yeah, as long as everything keeps working over these next few years, I couldn't be more than happy with this purchase and could recommend it to anyone at this point in time. Have a wonderful day!
