so today I've got an interesting laptop
inside the package we've got a pretty
large size peripheral box some foam and
then the laptop let's go ahead and first
tackle the accessory component here this
is your power brick and of course it's
got to be fairly hefty whispering the
horse power packed into this laptop so
there's a little lift tab and this is a
very unusual unboxing experience it
opens sort of on an angle and then what
happens next this piece that piece opens
like that oh and this is an indication
of what to expect once you get inside
the laptop there's a little
foreshadowing taking place so also in
the main package we've got some
paperwork and a wrist rest as well so
it's cool to the touch this is some sort
of a aluminum maybe an alloy or possibly
a magnesium type of material but it is
cool to the touch and you can see a
couple of different grills for heat to
escape on the bottom there as well and
if you look at the back side here you
can see some heat grills as well
obviously the standout feature here it
happens pretty immediately you notice it
I mean this is not your typical laptop
you lift it up and check that out
secondary display lifts up to almost
create a more seamless transition
between the main display and the
secondary one below there here we have
our power input as well as a microphone
input for a headset or external
microphone there's also an audio output
on the other side we have two USB a
ports and then of course there's also
that Thunderbolt port which is also
capable of USB type-c if you're not
using a Thunderbolt peripheral the back
of the device features a network port as
well as another USB a and a full-sized
HDMI out it's kind of an interesting
design idea there to put certain ports
at the back that may be connected more
permanently and then put your other eye
o
on the sides of the device look at this
display so this just lit up immediately
and I believe this is just some sort of
a graphic for the time being but it's a
very sci-fi look to it especially when
you pair the appearance to the upper
display something I like here is that
both of them have this matte finish so
they're gonna fight reflections that's
probably even more important on the
secondary display down here the keyboard
now we know is not simply backlit but
also features RGB and here you can get a
better look as well at that light up
number pad which you can toggle on or
off in the top corner there I actually
kind of like this implementation because
I don't use the number pad that much and
when it's jammed into a keyboard if the
keyboard has to shrink to accommodate it
I would usually rather just have a
larger keyboard to begin with this
screen pad I should mention is also
touch capable so if I click this little
arrow here certain functions start to
pop up to take advantage of the screen
pad section so I believe that this can
also just function as a typical display
where you can bring the
different items down into this section
whether it be a browser window or an
application this is the game first six
application and within here I can
monitor Network smoothness CPU usage
upload speed download speed it comes to
life inside of a secondary display where
you don't have to constantly have it up
it can quickly glance down and see where
your performance is being used and how
much leftover CPU you might have let's
load up a lool ater video and see if we
can do a little audio test here it's
tough out here in the content it's
especially tough if your name is kwibi
far as I'm concerned because that's a I
don't know a name for me it just doesn't
immediate retrospective where Netflix
just sounds Oh figures appear to be
underneath this secondary display it
actually makes for a decent experience
because the sound ends up firing where
your left and right ear happened to be
[Music]
this is the Zephyrus duo GX 550 l you
can spec it out up to the core i nine
ten nine eight eh k with teachers and RT
x 2080 Super eight gigabyte GD d r 6v R
M so lots of graphics performance baked
in there the model I have in front of me
is 32 gigs at the moment it has those
two nvme PCIe SSD s in a raid
configuration for two terabytes of total
storage at raid zero this is a 15.6 inch
non-glare u HD panel 3840 by 2160 it's
IPs and it features g-sync
and the secondary display also has a
surprising resolution 3840 by 1100 and
that happens to be a touchscreen too the
keyboard is backlit featuring RGB it has
two four watt speakers hidden under that
secondary display and the weight of this
device 2.4 kilograms or 5.2 nine pounds
for a dual display laptop inside
of one single package I could see this
being popular for game streamers gamers
multitaskers and even guys like Kirk who
want to edit videos with a little bit
more screen real estate on their lap
