[Review] It is a laptop and you burn 5.5 million won? ASUS ROG Zepirus Duo 16 GX650RX

No matter what industry in the age of infinite competition, 'innovation' deserves attention. In the IT field, innovation is a design, technology, and performance, so it has become an indispensable word. However, it is innovative to escape from the existing old framework.

The definition of this innovation is ambiguous. This is because innovation defined by individuals, it is just plain or special for some1. As an aside, I remember the community response at the time of the initial announcement of Samsung Flip Design. Some are divided into what is different from the existing flip method? It's hard to see it as an innovation. The foldable will be a new form factor. It's not an expert, so it's up to each other.

As a prominent scholar claims, the story is a little different. 'Destructive Innovation', one of Harvard Business School's Graduate School of Business, and the innovation claimed by Clayton Christensen, the academic and business consultant of the United States, is a technology that can take advantage while providing consumer convenience while providing consumer convenience. In addition, it is defined as making a new market, according to this theory, the foldable phone is a destructive innovation.

This innovation is, of course, in the notebook market. It's a 4K resolution that's already available in the market, a light weight of the gram (G), and a shid-call specification like high-end CPU and GPU. I think something has inflated your expectations. That doesn't change like a transformer autobot. It's not like a laptop crumpled and dried like the foldable and rollable display mentioned earlier.

4K Dual Touch Screen's ASUS ROG Zepirus Duo 16 GX650, which was announced by ASUS (Asus), a top3 brand in the global consumer notebook market, is an upgraded product following innovation. Huh, it's like a technology that can be implemented in 2022? Why are you so good at the reporter? Although Asus has already succeeded in commercializing a laptop equipped with a 4K dual touch screen three years ago. The market reaction was especially popular with YouTuber in that it could build a better multitasking environment in the game, multimedia and work areas.

The ASUS Genbook Pro series, which was introduced three years ago, was a bit unfortunate for gamers' point of view because of ROG sensitivity. If you say Zen Book, you feel a little more suitable for creators than gaming colors. However, the Zepirus Duo, which has enhanced the gaming performance by inheriting the high-end dual screen seen in the Zen Book Pro last year, has won the title of 'The perfect compatibility of the Zen Book Duo'.

This product, just looking at the specifications doesn't seem unusual. First of all, I can't mention the Ryzen 6000 series released in the first half of this year. The Ryzen 6000 series, designed based on the Zen 3+ architecture, has a 6nm process, enhanced power efficiency compared to clock, and is especially characterized by increasing single-core clocks.

We also raised weight in the graphics sector. Compared to the maximum RTX 3080 on the previous generation Zepirus Duo 15 SE, the Zepirus Duo 16 series contains the maximum RTX 3080 Ti. In addition, the MUX switch is included to convert to direct GPU mode in the environment where the GPU is used high, reducing delays and increasing game performance.

The dual-spec panel is the main screen 16 inches, which can be output up to 240Hz (3MS) and 4K resolution 120Hz based on the FHD resolution. It also has DCI-P3 color, 500 knit brightness. This product is not unusually labeled in 4K, but it is written in WQUXGA (3840*2400) resolution. It is a wider vertices of 16:10 aspect ratio.

ROG emotional discharge?

ASUS ROG Zepirus Duo 16 GX650RX, I liked this!

1. Main Display A display of a level of specs

When I turned on the laptop, the most in my eyes was by far the resolution. The 4K resolution pixel is so clear that the screen itself looks clear, but it was a particularly high-to-see surfing, photo watching, video viewing, and gameplay. It is.

ASUS ROG Zepirus Duo 16 GX650RX has a dual spec panel of ROG Nebula Display ™ certification. ROG Nebula is a certification system that gives a rating according to the notebook display specification standard, which is similar to the VESA certification system conducted by the Video Electronic Standards Committee.

The ROG Nebula grade is divided into ROG Nebula HDR / ROG Nebula Display. Area, 4K 120Hz+ / QHD 120Hz+ / FHD 240Hz, 3MS response speed, TüV Rheinland authentication (flicker free, blue light reduction), pantone authentication, MUX switch. Nebula Display, one level, is only 500 knit brightness, 1 area local dimming zone, 1200: 1 contrast ratio, and Dolby Vision HDR, and the rest should be the same as HDR grade.

The main display of this product corresponds to ROG Nebula Display, with a continuous brightness of up to 500 nits, 100% DCI-P3, and 3MS response speed, and can be converted to 120Hz at 4K resolution and 120Hz at FHD resolution. Most laptop displays are already overwhelmed in resolution and contrast, considering that QHD resolution is less than 1000: 1 with 250 ~ 350 knit brightness. In the beginning, there are not many laptops that satisfy DCI-P3 100%or have been certified as HDR.

The effect was as great as the theory. This is especially true in that the performance can be optimized according to the game genre and specifications that users enjoy. For example, in the shooting genre that lowers resolutions but emphasizes high-frame, it can be lowered to FHD resolution to reduce GPU loads and benefit from the frame.

On the contrary, if you want to increase the taste you see, you can enjoy the game in 120Hz environment by increasing the resolution with QHD or 4K, with a frame limit with a display-based refresh rate. Similarly, high resolution settings will be suitable for work that emphasizes vividness and clarity. I want to see if there is an overwhelming rate of 240Hz or more in the work or video viewing.

For reference, the product used in the review is the ASUS ROG Zepirus Duo 16 GX650RX model, and the GX650RW model with GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is applied by the Nebula HDR grade, and the GX650RS model equipped with the RTX 3080 is the same as the review product. ROG Nebula display and dual spec panel are applied, so please refer to the selection.

2. Screenpad Plus 2 Auxiliary display with high versatility!

Do you remember the small displays that popped out of the laptop exterior photo? I couldn't disagree with emotion. The Screenpad Plus 2 is a touch operation display, which is not physically connected to the main display, but it is easy to expand because it can be lowered.

The resolution of Screenpad Plus 2, which is tilted at an angle of 14 inches and 13 °, is 3840*1100, and if you split it, there will be two screens with 1920 interrogation. The main display of this product and the screen pad plus 2 are divided into two in the settings, and the resolution can be set separately. But don't you want to match the ratio for synchronization?

I was curious about how it worked with a design that was different from other laptops. The hinge of Screenpad Plus 2 has a solid crank wheel mechanism, and it's easy to think of the cranks of the bicycle chain with a lot of gear ratio. In addition, when the main display is opened when opening the laptop, the Screenpad Plus 2 is raised with a slight delay, preventing the two panels from colliding.

Is this, not two on both sides of the iron? Is durability?

Screenspad Plus 2, how about how to use it in practice? It plays a role in performing the program that users are running. In the case of reporters, I saw virtue in Lost Arc and Battleground Games, and I could easily find information by laying the map provided by the Internet community on auxiliary displays without having to press Alt+Tab. In the high-end game, the company placed a dedicated software ROG Crate to easily change notebook performance such as 'Turbo' and 'normal' mode.

In addition, Screen Xpert software can be used to switch between the main display and screen pad plus 2, and can be used more conveniently using drag and drop, touch screen control and other intuitive tools. You can place up to 5 job groups and operate by setting keyboard shortcuts.

I think it will be especially helpful for scheduling management or the work of timelines. Since the wide display is a wide display, the main display can be used in various ways, such as displaying videos or visual contents and operating the timeline by touching the auxiliary display.

3. Fever Put your hand, put it in

When comparing the desktop with the so-called 'Gem Book', the argument is often unfolded as a fever theme. Everyone knows that if the electronic device is exposed to high temperatures for a long time, the lifespan will be reduced. However, if you are not a desktop or laptop, if you are not well equipped with the surrounding environment or cooling system, the performance is less.

If the cooling design is poor, in addition to the laptop life, the throttling of each part will be reduced, and the heat will be delivered to the user. But what about the cooling design of the laptop itself is well equipped? Unlike the typical thermal grease, the product increases the thermal conductivity using liquid metal mixed with indium and gallium.

In addition, the heat generated by the GPU and connected to the copper pipe is transmitted to the heatsink and the 0.1 mm thin ultra-thin copper pins are dispersed. This pin designed the flow more smoothly by expanding the surface of the heatsink and reducing the air resistance to the heat dispersion in half the size compared to the general cooling solution.

In addition, several cooling systems such as 0DB Ambient Cooling, ARC Flow Fans, and AAS Plus 2.0 have been introduced.. In the case of high-end gaming laptops, there are usually three to five heat pipes located close to the vent, but this product is generously added.

The unique design also played a part in relieving fever. CPUs, GPUs, and VRAMs, such as cpus, and VRAMs, are far away from other gaming laptops. The main part of the fever is covered with Screenpad Plus 2, but it is a very good case of heating design because the screen pad plus 2 is not directly touched by the screen pad plus 2 at an angle of 13 °.

I measured how well the GPU temperature is set by the GPU stress program, Furmark. In order to maximize the GPU load, we set it to 10K resolution, MSAA 8X anti-aliasing for about 20 minutes. It did not exceed 70 degrees, even though it did not raise the GPU fan speed through the dedicated software asus crate.

In addition, during the GPU stress test, I measured the laptop's own temperature through the temperature measuring system.

4. speaker Even if you reduce the sound, it's bread?

I put the power in the GX650RX and touched it and then drove the Fire Strike, and the background music sounded a sense of space that was different from a regular laptop. The volume itself seems to be large, and even though the reporter who lived for 29 years of stacking, it had a sound quality as well as a PC speaker.

In public places such as libraries and cafes, earphone headsets are plugged in, so you may not need a speaker. But what's wrong with it? It is welcoming to be a type of reporter who needs to be able to change the EQ settings concert in a private studio and turn it on EDM music.

The GX650RX has 6 speakers. If you have a lot of laptops, you only put two 2W speakers, which have six speakers equipped with dual force woofers that create abundant bass. It's more likely to listen to your ears than to say that the white door is a bit. We will attach the sound comparison video of a general gaming laptop and GX650RX.

▲ The difference in sound is clearly felt The maximum volume of the general gaming laptop and the GX650RX itself was similar, but in the general gaming laptop, the height of the decibel was large and the sound seemed to be torn. On the contrary, the GX650RX has a rich base sound expression, and the overall sound is a bit more stable.

What is the performance?

The ASUS ROG Zepirus Duo 16 GX650RX specifications are AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX CPU, 32GB (16*2) DDR5 memory, GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics. If you want to know more specs, please refer to the specifications at the top of the review.

The program used for the GX650RX performance test is 3DMARK, which is commonly used for benchmarking, and driven the DX11-based Fire Strike Normal, Extreme, Ultra and DX12-based Time Spy Tream. The gameplay test has been driven by the Metro Exodus, AShine Creed: Odyssey, Shadow of the Tomb Radar, and Forza Horizon 4's built-in benchmarking. The benchmark option is 4K resolution, and the in-game options are set to the highest or highest ultra specifications, giving you as much load on the graphics card.

3dmark

Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition

Shadow of the Tomb Raider

Assoccin Creed: Odyssey

Forza Horizon 4

The first test, 3DMARK scored 33,182 points, 16,155 points and 8,228 points, respectively, DX11-based Fire Strike Normal and Ultra, respectively. The DX12 infrastructure was 12,527 points and Extreme scored 6,187 points.

It is equipped with a mobile graphics card, not an external graphics card for desktop PC, and the same RTX 3080 Ti is different in performance. So the graphics of the product are marked as 'RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU'. The RTX 3080 TI LAPTOP GPU performance is similar to the RTX 3070 for the desktop PC.

Depending on the resolution, you can make different settings, so the choice is wide. This is because the dual spec panel is applied so that you can easily change the settings to 4K, QHD and 120Hz or FHD and 240Hz. The more recommended game, the more you need to adjust the in-game options.

The frame obtained from the game test will be the result of the maximum increase of the graphic load, and for a game recommending the mainstream GPU in the late 10th, 20th or 30th, it will require some in-game option compromise, not the best specifications.

Performance, Technology 2 beats. And the innovation of ASUS ROG with 3 beats up to emotion

Personally, it was a review that crossed. First of all, I was surprised at the development of technology. The reporter's perception of notebooks, of course, not dealing with desktops. It was tilted after 16 GX650RX.

Not to mention the hardware's own performance, it can be called 'innovation' in the touch display that assists the user's program. Even though I only played a simple game, there was a merit enough. What if you are a creator of professional level? I thought that this would be doubled, and I reflected on the mistake of the past.

But there's something lacking somewhere, he said, but I couldn't find it at the price. It is not easy to pick up 5.5 million won for a laptop from the public's position. However, if you feel the hidden skills or performance behind the barrier of price, you are somewhat acceptable. You shouldn't remove the ROG sensitivity added with a small teaspoon.

Performance? What would you need? The price explains everything. If it's 5.5 million won, all parts go to the highest level. Even the desktops used by the reporter and the reporter's use of their hands are not over 3 million won, but the performance, including the price, dared to be as much as the performance. If you have done it, 'the abduction of' Tea ', so is your computer price? Wouldn't it be just a good position to get.

It was a technically and performance-based innovation than any laptop I've reviewed. It's so good that you can renew your notebook rankings at once. Today, the eyes they see are as high as they see. Looking at the bank account balance, he decided to say, This evening is ramen.
