ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has announced its new ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 laptop. It is a premium gaming laptop which integrates two display and offers flagship performance.
It has an elegant Active Aerodynamic System (AAS) Plus design that makes the full-width ROG ScreenPad Plus touchscreen an integrated part of the cooling system. When the laptop is opened, the ROG ScreenPad Plus tilts up at a 13-degree angle for comfortable viewing and touchscreen interaction.
The 14.1-inch second screen panel in ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 is the largest second display available in production gaming laptop. Additionally,it has an innovative Active Aerodynamic System (AAS) that opens a large 28.5mm intake vent as the lid is lifted. It allows the laptop to intake cooler air from above the laptop instead of warmer air from the beneath, thus reducing the strain on internal cooling system. It also decreases the need for heat dissipation and keeps noise level in check (below 46dB(A) in Turbo mode and 43dB(A) in performance mode).

Both of these displays (non touch screen) are PANTONE validated to guarantee color accuracy.
