ASUS has opened pre-orders for the 2026 ROG Zephyrus Duo, featuring dual 16-inch OLED displays. The laptop starts at $4,500.

The revamped Zephyrus Duo marks ASUS' return to dual-screen gaming laptops with a significant upgrade.

The dual OLED setup enables users to run applications side-by-side or use the second display for extended workspace. The $4,500 starting price reflects the premium positioning of the hardware.
