Are there any alternatives?

If you’re only interested in the second screen, Asus offers the ZenBook Duo. It’s not a gaming laptop, but it offers a similar second screen — except without the lifted angle.

　　Outside of that, no other laptop can replicate the second-screen features of the Zephyrus Duo 15. There are plenty of gaming laptops that can provide great performance for a much cheaper price.

　　

How long will it last?

The Zephyrus Duo 15 is sturdy and well-built. The gap created beneath the ScreenPad Plus is a worry. It’s not hard to imagine things getting stuck inside, whether that’s small objects or just dust.

　　

Should you buy it?

Yes. Not everyone is willing to foot the bill for the bonus of a second screen, but it’s undoubtedly one of the most interesting gaming laptops ever made.
