ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 SE (GX551QR-XS98)

Ok,

I promised I'd support Asus if they get AMD goodness in their unique duo screen laptop, and the day is nigh!

Will update this once I receive it! (God willing)

Currently eyeing GenTechPC as I heard a lot of great things about them!

If there are any benchmarks you want me to run please let me know.

Update: Ordered so now trying to stay patient (Thanks @GenTechPC for the quick replies and help during this big purchase for me. God bless!)

 

Interesting hat thunderbolt is present in an AMD system

 

Typo and corrected.

 

Well at least it has a MUX switch lol

 

I just paid for the DUO 3080 from Xotic. Looking forward to a new toy.

 

Oh nice! Congrats! Curious on performance delta! We should compare notes when we get our hardware. Was debating upgrading to 3080 before it starts shipping but don't know if I need the extra graphics oumph, especially with the price difference.

 

I am pretty sure you will have yours several weeks before the 3080. I do not expect it to ship till April or May?

Regardless both look very nice! Looking forward to your review!

 

Gotcha! Let me know if there's something you want me to include in the review.

 

Whats up guys. First post here.
Almost pulled the trigger on the 3070 version. Do you guys know if they will release a 3080 1080p 300hz config? That's what I understood from the presentation.

 

interested in this laptop myself. there is an app like throttlestop for ryzen mobile that lets us undervolt and change cpu settings right?
