Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 is every streamer's dream gaming machine
But comes at a hefty price tag
Asus has launched three new gaming laptops in India under the Republic of Gamers (ROG) branding. The gaming-centric products range from the most premium and powerful multitasking devices to 2-in-1 convertible laptops. All of the latest products feature the Ryzen 6000 series chipsets clubbed with the best NVIDIA RTX GPUs. Similar to many of the company's previous releases, these systems also feature the MUX Switch. This allows users to allow the system to bypass the CPU and directly concentrate its graphical tasks on the GPUs. This reduces the workload on the CPU too.
Asus ROG has introduced the Zephyrus Duo 16, Zephyrus G14 & G15 and the ROG Flow X13 and Flow X13. Like the Zephyrus Duo from the past, the new system comes with the same dual-screen setup. This is perfect for anyone who plays and streams their gameplay to websites like Twitch, YouTube Gaming and Facebook Gaming. It also comes in handy for content creators who work on Adobe Photoshop, Premiere or even DaVinci Resolve.
