The ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 is now being updated to 2022 with new AMD Rembrandt processors, DDR5 RAM, PCIe 4.0 storage, and up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti GPU. The new refresh also comes with more features like an updated ROG ScreenPad Plus and new ROG Nebula Display and Nebula HDR Mini LED displays.
Those who are very particular of their displays can now choose from two variants on the Zephyrus Duo 16 GX650: a 16-inch ROG Nebula Mini LED Display that can run 2560 x 1600 at 165Hz with 100% DCI-P3 color coverage as well as being Pantone Validated or a 16-inch ROG Nebula Dual Spec Panel that runs at either 3840 x 2400 at 120Hz or at 1920 x 1200 at 240Hz.
Its new premium innards require high-end cooling, which is why the new Zephyrus Duo 16 sports Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal to bring down temperatures by up to 15°c.
