The company recently launched the BenQ Zowie XL2566K gaming monitor, which is aimed at professional gamers and enthusiasts. If you are a serious gamer, it is important to invest in a good gaming monitor that will help you take your game to the next level. BenQ claims that its new TN panel monitor is designed to deliver the best gaming experience. I have been using the BenQ Zowie XL2566K gaming monitor for a few weeks now, and here is my detailed review of the premium gaming monitor. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Price and

<ul><li>Full HD resolution</li></ul><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Design" comment="subhead" text="Design">Design</cmsannotation> The BenQ Zowie XL2566K comes with a minimalistic design and unlike a lot of gaming monitors in the market, it is difficult to differentiate the XL2566K from regular monitors as it lacks the usual funky design and RGB found in gaming monitors. <div type="image" title="Dis 2" msid="101218491" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;BenQ Zowie XL2566K front design&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The monitor has been designed keeping portability in mind, as gamers often carry their setup with them for tournaments. It weighs 6.2 kg, which is on the lighter side when we consider the usual weights for the company’s other monitors. The company has used a plastic body, including for the stand. However, the plastic is sturdy and should not pose an issue. <div type="image" title="Logo" msid="101218506" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Zowie logo at the back&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> While there is no branding at the front, the back has the Zowie logo in red. The stand comes with a small flat base. It offers height adjustment and also allows you to change the angle as per your preference. I found it easy to adjust the monitor to my requirements. <div type="image" title="Rear" msid="101218552" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The rear of the BenQ Zowie XL2566K&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> It comes with side panels that not only allow you to reduce the glare, but also prevent others from looking at your screen from the sides, which can be important during tournaments. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Display and performance" comment="subhead" text="Display and performance">Display and performance</cmsannotation> Coming to the most important part of the monitor, the BenQ Zowie XL2566K features a 24.5-inch TN LCD panel with a 1920 x 1080 resolution, 360Hz refresh rate, 320 nits brightness and a 0.5 ms response time. One of the highlights of the monitor is its motion clarity, which has been achieved with the company’s DyAc+ technology which reduces motion blur. <div type="image" title="Game" msid="101218580" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;CS: GO on the BenQ Zowie XL2566K&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> I tried playing several games, including Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Overwatch and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on the monitor. It is a treat to play games, especially fast-paced first person shooters on the monitor. While the colour production is decent, it is not as good as an IPS or OLED monitor. The monitor comes with several presets and also offers three gamer profiles to customise the display as per your needs. The monitor comes with Advanced Motion Acceleration (AMA) to boost performance. You can choose between high, premium and off. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Verdict" comment="subhead" text="Verdict">Verdict</cmsannotation> The BenQ Zowie XL2566K has a lot going for it and is a good option for gamers looking to upgrade their setup. If you are a casual gamer or someone who is just entering the gaming scene, you can opt for other affordable monitors available in the market.

Despite its large display, the monitor is sleek and features minimal bezels on all four sides. There is no branding at the front, with the company offering a distraction-free experience. <div type="image" title="BenQ logo" msid="113609454" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;BenQ branding at the back&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> At the back, the monitor comes with BenQ branding. It features an all-black design at the back, with a matte finish to prevent fingerprint smudges and making it easier to clean <div type="image" title="Base" msid="113609457" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Monitor&amp;#39;s base&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Coming to the stand is an all-metallic stand that comes with a charcoal-silver finish. The stand has a large base that is aimed at keeping it stable. Talking about branding, the base features BenQ branding on it. <div type="image" title="Stand adjustment" msid="113609482" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The monitor comes with an adjustable stand&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The stand is good, offering a lot of customisation.

Allowing you to get it in the perfect position that suits you. <div type="image" title="Thickness" msid="113609504" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Monitor&amp;#39;s thickness&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The monitor is on the heavier side, weighing 8.2 kg with the stand. However, this is not surprising considering the large 32-inch display. <div type="image" title="Cable" msid="113609500" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Cable organiser at the back&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> For OSD controls, the monitor comes with a joystick and buttons on the right side. It comes with a cable organiser on the stand to help you manage your cables and minimise clutter. <div type="image" title="Ports" msid="113609506" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Ports on the monitor&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> <div type="image" title="Ports on the right side" msid="113609511" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Ports on the right side&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> It is packed with ample ports, featuring two HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort, two Thunderbolt 3 ports, a USB Type-C port, a USB Type-B port and three USB Type-A ports. <h2>Display and performance</h2>Coming to the display, the BenQ PD3225U features a 31.5-inch IPS Black panel. For those unaware, IPS Black is a new variant of IPS panels that offers improved contrast compared to traditional IPS panels. While this is the first time that BenQ has used an IPS Black panel, companies like LG and Dell have used IPS Black panels for their monitors. <div type="image" title="Display" msid="113609521" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;BenQ PD3225U display&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The monitor from BenQ offers a 3840 x 2160 pixels resolution, 60Hz refresh rate, 400 nits brightness and a 5 ms response time (GtG). As the monitor is aimed at designers and creators, image quality and colour reproduction are very important. This is where the BenQ PD3225U shines, offering excellent colour reproduction and detailed images. The IPS Black panel helps in maintaing a good contrast ratio. The monitor offers high brightness, ensuring you don’t have to worry about visibility. The monitor is quite bright and I found myself using it mostly around the 50% mark. The screen is factory-calibrated for MacBook, allowing you to start using it immediately without worrying about colour calibration. It also offers an M-Book mode to sync the colour settings between your device and the monitor. BenQ has also offered the Hotkey Puck G2 with the monitor. This can be connected to the monitor and allows you to control the on-screen menu. This helps in boosting productivity as it allows you to easily switch between various modes and tools. The monitor also comes with dual 2.5W speakers. These are enough to watch a quick video, listen to music or just for notifications. While these are good to have, they are not a replacement for a pair of headphones. I have always preferred a monitor that has a speaker so that I don’t have to grab my headphones every time I want to listen to something. <h2>Verdict</h2>The BenQ PD3225U is an excellent option, especially for MacBook users looking for a reliable monitor. While the price may look on the higher side, it is relatively affordable when compared to the Apple Studio Display which starts at ₹1,59,900. While that’s a completely different thing, the BenQ PD3225U does its job well and ticks all the right boxes, including a good design, excellent display and great connectivity options.

The company recently launched the BenQ Zowie XL2546X gaming monitor aimed at professional gamers and enthusiasts. The Zowie XL2546X is a premium gaming monitor that uses the company’s fast-TN panel. The company claims that its TN panel monitor is designed to deliver the best gaming experience. I have been using the BenQ Zowie XL2546X gaming monitor for a few weeks now, and here is my detailed review of the premium gaming monitor. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Price and

resolution </li></ul> <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Design" comment="subhead" text="Design">Design</cmsannotation> The BenQ Zowie XL2546X comes with a normal design unlike a lot of gaming monitors in the market, it is difficult to differentiate the monitor from regular monitors as it does not come with a flashy design or RGB usually associated with gaming devices. <div type="image" title="Rear" msid="109704156" hostid="261" sizebytes="30846" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;BenQ Zowie XL2546X rear design&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The monitor has been designed keeping portability in mind, as gamers often carry their setup with them for tournaments. It weighs 6.2 kg, which is on the lighter side when we consider the usual weights for some of the other gaming monitors in the market. One of the ways that the company has kept the weight down is by using a plastic body, including for the stand. Do note that the plastic is sturdy and should not be a concern. <div type="image" title="Logo" msid="109704176" hostid="261" sizebytes="13952" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Logo at the back&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Like most of its devices, there is no branding at the front but the back has the Zowie logo in red. <div type="image" title="Stand" msid="109704160" hostid="261" sizebytes="26008" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;BenQ Zowie XL2546X stand&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The stand comes with a small flat base. It offers height adjustment and also allows you to change the angle as per your preference. I found it easy to adjust the monitor to my requirements. It comes with side panel shields that not only allow you to reduce the glare but also prevent others from looking at your screen from the sides, which can be important during tournaments as it helps keep your information safe. <div type="image" title="Rear ports" msid="109704164" hostid="261" sizebytes="29338" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;BenQ Zowie XL2546X rear ports&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> For connectivity, the monitor offers three HDMI 2.0 ports, a single DP 1.4 and a headphone jack. It also features a port to connect the company’s S-Switch. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Display and performance" comment="subhead" text="Display and performance">Display and performance</cmsannotation> The BenQ Zowie XL2546X features a 24.5-inch TN LCD panel with a 1920 x 1080 resolution, 240Hz refresh rate and 320 nits brightness. The first thing that you will notice about the monitor is its motion clarity, which has been achieved with the company’s DyAc 2 backlight strobing technology which reduces motion blur. <div type="image" title="Display" msid="109704169" hostid="261" sizebytes="27264" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;BenQ Zowie XL2546X display&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The BenQ Zowie XL2546X comes with several presets and also offers three gamer profiles to customise the display as per the user’s needs. I played several fast-paced titles such as Counter-Strike 2 and The Finals on the Zowie XL2546X while testing it. Coming from a 144Hz LED panel, the difference was quite clear, with the Zowie XL2546X offering much better motion clarity, especially when the situation required quick movements. The Black eQualizer also came in handy, especially in games that had darker areas where it was easy for enemies to usually hide, giving me an edge. Coming to the colours, while it cannot offer you colours like OLED panels can, the TN panel gets the job done and offers decent colour reproduction. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Verdict" comment="subhead" text="Verdict">Verdict</cmsannotation> The BenQ Zowie XL2546X is a premium gaming monitor that is designed for professional gamers. It ticks a lot of boxes, including a high refresh rate, good colour reproduction and DyAc 2 technology, which make it a treat for gaming, especially for those who play fast-paced games The price tag may make it a hard choice for casual gamers looking to get a monitor. However, for those who don’t mind spending a good amount to get the best experience, the BenQ Zowie XL2546X is a good option.

The best computer monitors

<ul><li>The <keyword id="21125950" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="BenQ-Zowie-EC2-CW" source="Orion">BenQ Zowie EC2-CW</keyword> is a premium wireless mouse aimed at gamers.</li><li>It is a lightweight gaming mouse and is available in three sizes.</li><li>Here’s my review of the BenQ Zowie EC2-CW that will help you decide whether you should buy the device or not.</li></ul> If you are someone who takes their gaming seriously, Zowie is a brand that you must be familiar with. Zowie, a part of BenQ, is popular for its gaming mice and monitors, which are aimed at hardcore and professional gamers. The company’s Zowie EC2-CW is part of the company’s premium wireless gaming mouse lineup EC-CW and is aimed at professional gamers. The EC-CW series offers the mouse in three sizes – EC1, EC2 and EC3. I have tested the EC2 variant. I have been using the Zowie EC2-CW for a few weeks now, and here is my detailed review of the gaming mouse that will help you decide whether you should buy the device or not. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="BenQ Zowie EC2-CW price and availability" comment="subhead" text="BenQ Zowie EC2-CW price and availability"><keyword id="21125953" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="BenQ-Zowie-EC2-CW-price" source="Orion">BenQ Zowie EC2-CW price</keyword> and availability</cmsannotation> The BenQ Zowie EC2-CW is priced at ₹10,990 and is available from Amazon India. You can choose between the EC1, EC2 and EC3 based on your size preference.

However, the Zowie EC2-CW does not come with any lights and offers a minimalistic design, making it a great option for those looking for a distraction-free device. The BenQ Zowie EC2-CW is similar to the Zowie EC2-C, but comes with wireless connectivity. As mentioned earlier, the mouse comes in three sizes, EC1, EC2 and EC3. While the EC1 is the largest, EC2 is medium and EC3 is the smallest. <div type="image" title="Buttons" msid="108876265" hostid="261" sizebytes="30588" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The BenQ Zowie EC2-CW&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Apart from a difference in the size, the devices also vary when it comes to the weight. While the EC1 weighs 79 grams, the EC2 weighs 77 grams and the EC3 is the lightest at 76 grams. While the difference in weight may seem negligible, it means a lot to professional gamers. The mouse comes with an ergo design, which offers a grip that sits between a palm grip and a claw grip, which the company claims has been designed in a way to reduce fatigue. The mouse is lightweight and during my testing, I found it to be comfortable. While a pincer-claw grip is not really practical with this design, you can opt for a normal claw grip while using it for gaming. It comes with a matte black plastic body with the company’s logo in red. It comes with two buttons on the side that are responsive and work well. The DP button and the button to switch between the dongle and the dock have been placed at the bottom. The Zowie EC2-CW offers multiple connectivity options including a direct wired connection, dongle and the “enhanced receiver” dock connection. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Performance" comment="subhead" text="Performance">Performance</cmsannotation> The Zowie EC2-CW is equipped with the high-performance PixArt 3370 sensor. While it may not be the latest sensor on the block, it is a great option that gets the job done. The mouse allows you to choose between four DPI settings – 400, 800,1600 and 3200. It also allows you to select between three polling rates – 125Hz, 500Hz, and 1000Hz <div type="image" title="20240312_114513" msid="108876276" hostid="261" sizebytes="101930" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The BenQ Zowie EC2-CW with the Enhanced Receiver&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The mouse offers excellent tracking without any latency, be it while using the dock or the dongle. Honestly, I didn’t notice any significant difference between the two devices but the dock is a good way to charge the mouse. I did not face any latency from the mouse while testing it. I used the EC2-CW while playing Counter Strike 2 and The Finals, both of which are fast-paced games and any latency could result in a loss. The Zowie EC2-CW is claimed to offer a battery life of up to 70 hours on a single charge. The battery life is something that you shouldn’t really worry about with the device. You can charge it using the USB Type-C cable provided with the device. The device does come with any software or application support and you can control the settings using the buttons provided below. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Verdict" comment="subhead" text="Verdict">Verdict</cmsannotation> The Zowie EC2-CW is a good option for those looking for a premium wireless gaming mouse. It ticks all the right boxes, including a comfortable design, good battery life, low latency and a minimalistic design. It is also one of the only devices in the segment to offer a dock that improves connection efficiency, making it a good option for serious gamers. Disclaimer: If you are considering purchasing the above device, we recommend you do additional research, including using the device at a retail outlet before making a decision.

It can be carried around easily, something that a lot of professional gamers would like. It comes with an all-black plastic design and a large base. It offers height adjustment and also allows you to change the angle as per your preference. We found it easy to adjust the monitor to our requirements. This comes in handy when people of different heights use the monitor. The monitor comes with two cable bungees that help you to manage your keyboard, mouse and other cables. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Display and performance" comment="subhead" text="Display and performance">Display and performance</cmsannotation> Coming to the display, the ViewSonic XG2431 features a 24-inch IPS panel with a 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution.

It comes with presets from Blur Busters that help in reduction of motion blur while gaming. We played several fast-paced games on the monitor, including Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Valorant and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. The gameplay was smooth and there was no motion blur or tearing. The high refresh rate and adaptive sync ensure that you have an excellent gaming experience. <div type="image" title="1" msid="101395655" hostid="261" sizebytes="83938" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;CS: GO on the ViewSonic XG2431&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> It would have been great to have a higher resolution panel but the XG2431 manages to churn out decent visuals with accurate colours while gaming. The monitor comes with several presets and also allows you to use the ViewSonic Strobe Utility to enable Custom PureXP mode, offering you better customization. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Verdict" comment="subhead" text="Verdict">Verdict</cmsannotation> The ViewSonic XG2431 is a feature-packed gaming monitor that comes with a high refresh rate and Blur Busters 2.0 certification. At this price however, this game is aimed at serious gamers and Esports players. If you are a serious gamer, the XG2431 is a good option, thanks to its 240Hz refresh rate, low input lag, reduced motion blur and portability.

type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Design" comment="subhead" text="Design">Design</cmsannotation> Starting with the design, the ViewSonic VX2728J comes with a minimalistic design, looking like a regular monitor. This allows you to use it while working without having to worry about a flash design or RGB lights. It features a lightweight design, weighing just 4.7 kg with the stand, allowing you to easily move and carry it around with you if needed. <div type="image" title="Rear" msid="102645392" hostid="261" sizebytes="97394" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;ViewSonic VX2728J &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The monitor features an all-plastic back in black colour. It comes with thin bezels on the three sides with a large chin at the bottom. The chin features ViewSonic branding. <div type="image" title="Stand" msid="102645443" hostid="261" sizebytes="19488" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The ViewSonic VX2728J stand&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> You also get the ViewSonic branding at the back, which is much larger than the front. The stand allows you to adjust the monitor’s height and angle. It allows you to swivel, tilt and even pivot the monitor based on your preference. I tried to adjust the monitor to different heights and angles while using it and found that it is quite easy to do so. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Display and performance" comment="subhead" text="Display and performance">Display and performance</cmsannotation> Coming to the display, the ViewSonic VX2728J monitor features a 27-inch IPS panel with a 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution. It offers a refresh rate of 180 Hz, 250 nits of brightness and a response time of 0.5ms. The monitor comes with AMD FreeSync Premium and VESA Adaptive Sync. These technologies ensure that you can have a blur-free gaming experience with minimal stuttering and no tearing. While the 180Hz refresh rate makes it a treat to play fast-paced FPS games. <div type="image" title="Performance" msid="102645535" hostid="261" sizebytes="136064" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The monitor performs well while gaming&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> I played fast-paced games like Counter Strike: Global Offensive and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on the monitor. I enjoyed playing both the games and while there were no stutters or tearing, the low-pixel density is sometimes visible in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. It would have been great to have a higher resolution panel but the VX2728J manages to offer a good gaming experience. The monitor comes with several pre-sets, including FPS Game, RTS Game, Movie and more, allowing you to easily set the settings for your favourite game. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Verdict" comment="subhead" text="Verdict">Verdict</cmsannotation> If you are a casual gamer in the market for a monitor with a large display and a high refresh rate under ₹20,000, the ViewSonic VX2728J is a good option. Do note that you will have to make-do with a Full HD display. If this is not a deal breaker, you can go ahead with the purchase.

This is where devices like the Haier PROBOT DTX come in. The Haier PROBOT DTX is a smart robot vacuum cleaner that offers both vacuuming and mopping capabilities. The Haier PROBOT-DTX is the premium smart robot vacuum cleaner from the company. It comes with Google Assistant and Alexa integration, along with app control. I have been testing the Haier TH27U1 for some time now and here is a review about the company’s latest offering in India. <h2>Haier PROBOT DTX price in India</h2>The Haier PROBOT DTX is priced at ₹29,999 and is available from the Haier Online Store, Amazon India and Flipkart. It comes in two colour options, Black-Gold and Silver. <h2>In the box</h2><ul><li>Haier PROBOT DTX robot vacuum cleaner</li><li>Charging case</li><li>Power adapter</li><li>Cleaning brush</li><li>Water tank</li><li>Documentation</li><li>Cleaning rag</li></ul><h2>Pros and cons</h2>Pros <ul><li>Performance </li><li><keyword id="23612004" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="laser-navigation" source="keywords">Laser navigation</keyword> </li></ul>Cons <ul><li>Price </li></ul><h2>Design and features</h2>Starting with the design, the Haier PROBOT DTX robot vacuum cleaner features a circular body with a low profile. The company has kept the design similar to what you see on other robot vacuum cleaners in the market. Its compact size allows it to navigate through tight spaces like under the furniture and between obstacles with ease. <div type="image" title="Dust collector" msid="114380933" hostid="261" sizebytes="84454" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Dust collector&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The design is practical and functional, with a durable plastic exterior that feels solid enough to handle daily usage. The dustbin and water tank are conveniently located and easy to access and empty. The PROBOT-DTX can be connected with the company’s <keyword id="23612005" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Haismart-app" source="keywords">Haismart app</keyword>. The Haismart app allows for a seamless user experience. You can initiate cleaning sessions, schedule cleaning times, view cleaning history, adjust suction levels, and even set virtual boundaries or no-go zones. Compatible with Google Assistant and Alexa, the PROBOT-DTX allows you to control the device with voice commands. <h2>Performance</h2>Unlike a lot of other devices in the segment, the PROBOT-DTX uses laser navigation technology to map your home and create efficient cleaning paths. This ensures systematic cleaning and prevents random bumping around. It can also store multiple maps, making it suitable for multi-level homes. The device can store maps of up to five floors. It offers a 5000Pa suction power, allowing the PROBOT-DTX to easily clean dust, dirt, pet hair, and debris on various surfaces. It automatically adjusts suction power based on floor type, ensuring optimal cleaning performance. It works especially well on smooth surfaces like tiles, hardwood, and laminate, delivering thorough cleaning results. <div type="image" title="Bottom" msid="114380946" hostid="261" sizebytes="99764" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Bottom of the Haier PROBOT DTX robot vacuum cleaner&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The device also features a mopping function, allowing it to mop the floors while vacuuming. The mopping feature works well for light cleaning and is best suited for daily maintenance rather than deep scrubbing. It comes with an electronically controlled water tank that ensures even water distribution and prevents leaks. The PROBOT-DTX offers a decent battery life, allowing it to clean large areas on a single charge. It automatically returns to its charging dock when the battery runs low and once charged, it resumes cleaning from where it left off. <h2>Verdict</h2>The Haier PROBOT-DTX is a feature-packed device that offers good performance, a decent battery life, and smart connectivity. The robot vacuum cleaner is easy to use and can be controlled using the app. It is able to offer good cleaning and mopping and has enough battery life to cover a large house.

But the ZenBook Duo is a big upgrade as instead of offering one large display with a smaller one, the new laptop from Asus offers two large displays of the same size. The ZenBook Duo is feature-packed and comes with top-of-the-line hardware, including up to Intel Core 9 185H processor and Intel Arc graphics. All the variants feature the same display setup. I have been using the Asus ZenBook Duo for a few days now, and here is my detailed review of the latest dual-screen laptop from Asus. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Asus ZenBook Duo price and availability" comment="subhead" text="Asus ZenBook Duo price and availability"><keyword id="21319866" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Asus-ZenBook-Duo-price" source="Orion">Asus ZenBook Duo price</keyword> and availability</cmsannotation> The Asus ZenBook Duo is available starting at ₹1,59,990 and goes up to ₹2,39,990 for the top variant.

comment="subhead" text="Asus ZenBook Duo design">Asus ZenBook Duo design</cmsannotation> The Asus ZenBook Duo comes with a sleek and lightweight design and looks just like a normal laptop. It comes with a minimalistic design with a grey aluminium chassis with a subtle logo on the lid and the company’s trademark geometric lines that we have seen on several of its laptops. <div type="image" title="Design" msid="109875947" hostid="261" sizebytes="37372" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Asus ZenBook Duo features a sleek design&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> When you look at the bottom, this is the first time you will notice something different about the laptop. It comes with a kickstand, which can be used to prop up the laptop. The stand is durable and does not move, so you don’t have to worry about it wobbling while using it. <div type="image" title="Stand" msid="109876168" hostid="261" sizebytes="24576" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The stand on the Asus ZenBook Duo&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The matte finish on the back means that you don’t have to worry about fingerprints. <div type="image" title="Keyboard" msid="109875989" hostid="261" sizebytes="30300" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The removable keyboard with the Asus ZenBook Duo&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Once you open the laptop, it initially looks like a normal laptop. But it comes with a removable keyboard, which is attached with pogo pins to a secondary display. The device comes with two attached displays, allowing you to use it as a tablet, as a laptop or even as a desktop. The laptop weighs 1.35 kg without the keyboard and 1.65 kg with the keyboard. The compact size and the weight mean you can easily carry it around with you. The charger equipped with the laptop is also small so it can be easily carried in your bag. <div type="image" title="KB" msid="109876022" hostid="261" sizebytes="42610" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Asus ZenBook Duo keyboard&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The laptop comes with a backlit keyboard but does not feature a number pad. It comes with a large trackpad and more than ample space to rest your palms. While the keyboard is good to type on, the Bluetooth keyboard does not feel as snappy as traditional laptop keyboards. The device is equipped with ample ports. It comes with 2 x Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports, a USB Type-A 3.2 Gen 1 port, an HDMI 2.1 port and an audio jack. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Display" comment="subhead" text="Display">Display</cmsannotation> Coming to the highlight of the laptop, the Asus ZenBook Duo features dual 14-inch Full HD+ OLED touchscreen displays. Both the displays offer a 60Hz refresh rate and a 0.2 ms response time. <div type="image" title="Primary display" msid="109876202" hostid="261" sizebytes="88088" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The primary display on the Asus ZenBook Duo&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The display offers a 16:10 aspect ratio and a max brightness of 500 nits. It offers a 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut, which makes it a great display for users looking for content creation, where colour accuracy is important. It is also PANTONE Validated and TUV Rheinland-certified. What all this essentially means is that you get a vibrant display with accurate colours <div type="image" title="Dual display" msid="109876225" hostid="261" sizebytes="46850" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The dual displays&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The ZenBook Duo offers two large-screen displays, which come with stylus support. The 14-inch displays eliminate the need for portable monitors, which are difficult to carry and are a hassle to connect and use. Another advantage of the Duo is that both its displays are excellent and you don’t have to worry about using a poorer secondary display. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Performance" comment="subhead" text="Performance">Performance</cmsannotation> The Asus ZenBook Duo is equipped with up to Intel Core Ultra 9 185H processor coupled with Intel Arc graphics. The Intel Core Ultra is a new Meteor Lake chipset from the company. The laptop is available with up to 32GB LPDDR5X 7467 MHz RAM and up to 2TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 SSD. In terms of performance, the Asus ZenBook Duo is easily able to handle multiple applications and processes at once. As it comes with integrated graphics, this might not be the best choice if you are looking for a laptop to game on. However, the Intel Arc Graphics are able to handle some light gaming so you don’t have to worry about getting bored while on the go. The laptop is equipped with a 75Wh battery, which is decent for a sleek laptop. However, you won’t be able to use it for a long duration without plugging it in. Using it without a battery becomes harder if you turn on the secondary display as well. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Verdict" comment="subhead" text="Verdict">Verdict</cmsannotation> The Asus ZenBook Duo is a feature-packed laptop that comes with two fully functional displays, with a sleek and lightweight design. The full-size displays are practical and help in multitasking, eliminating the need for carrying a secondary display. The laptops offer good performance but struggle a bit when it comes to battery life. As long as you don’t use the secondary display without plugging in the device, you don’t have to worry. Overall, the Asus ZenBook Duo is an excellent option if you are looking for a device that makes multi-tasking easy and stands out in the crowd. It is easily the best dual-screen laptop out there, beating the company’s own more premium dual-screen options.

text="Alienware x16 R2 design">Alienware x16 R2 design</cmsannotation> If you have seen the Alienware x16, the design of the x16 R2 is not new. It retains the same design as its predecessor, which is not a con as the device is well-designed. <div type="image" title="Side profile" msid="110880045" hostid="261" sizebytes="22688" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Alienware x16 R2 is slightly heavy&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The laptop is on the heavier side at 2.72 kg. The charger is also quite heavy and portability may be a concern if you plan on carrying the laptop with you every day. The primary reason for the weight is the large display and the powerful hardware offered by the device. <div type="image" title="Back design" msid="110880053" hostid="261" sizebytes="18850" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Alienware x16 R2 back&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The Alienware x16 R2 comes in a single colour option – Lunar Silver. The laptop features a full-metal chassis with a silver finish and with white colour around the hinge. The laptop comes with a minimalistic design, featuring an X symbol at the back and the Alienware logo that lights up. The logo’s colour can be customized according to your preference. If you want a more minimalistic look, you also have the option to completely turn off the lighting. <div type="image" title="Rear ports" msid="110880060" hostid="261" sizebytes="18462" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Rear ports&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> At the back, the device comes with a large LED strip that surrounds the port area. All the ports have been placed at the back, giving a clean look on the sides. The backlighting can also be customised using the Alienware Command Centre. <div type="image" title="Keyboard" msid="110880066" hostid="261" sizebytes="59452" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Alienware x16 R2 keyboard&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> This is not where the device’s gaming design ends. It comes with an RGB keyboard. The device offers per-key lighting customization. Additionally, the touchpad is also RGB-enabled. <div type="image" title="TP" msid="110880074" hostid="261" sizebytes="31164" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The RGB-enabled touchpad on the Alienware x16 R2&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The Alienware x16 R2 comes with a low profile CherryMX keyboard with a key travel of 1.8 mm. The company has used stainless-steel switches for the device. In terms of ports, the Alienware x16 R2 comes with an audio jack, a microSD card slot, a USB Type-C port with Thunderbolt 4, a Type-C 3.2 Gen port, 2 x Type-A USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and a HDMI 2.1 port. As it is a gaming laptop, the company has employed several measures to keep the temperature down. It comes with the company’s Alienware Cryo-tech cooling technology. This includes a quad-fan design, vapour chamber and load-balancing heat pipes. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Display" comment="subhead" text="Display">Display</cmsannotation> The Alienware x16 R2 features a 16-inch Quad HD+ display with 100% DCI-P3 Colour Gamut, a 240Hz refresh rate and 3ms response time. The panel has a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels. <div type="image" title="Display" msid="110879988" hostid="261" sizebytes="41918" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Alienware x16 R2 display&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> There’s also a Full HD+ display option with a 480Hz refresh rate but I would prefer the Quad HD+ option. While the display lacks HDR support, it comes with Dolby Vision support, offering an excellent viewing experience. The lack of HDR may be an issue as this means you will miss out on HDR in games. The peak brightness is also on the lower side at 300 nits. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Performance" comment="subhead" text="Performance">Performance</cmsannotation> The Alienware x16 R2 is equipped with up to Intel Core Ultra 9 185H processor. The Intel Core Ultra is a new Meteor Lake chipset from the company. The laptop is available with up to 32GB LPDDR5X 7467 MHz RAM and up to 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 SSD. The graphic duties are handled by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 16GB GDDR6 graphics. I tested the laptop with several games, including games such as Red Dead Redemption 2 and Forza Horizon 5. Both the games performed well and the laptop was able to handle them without any issues. The powerful hardware means that you will be able to run any game with the best graphics without even having to look at the system requirements for a long time. I was able to play games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Alan Wake 2 at the highest graphic settings without any issues. The laptop’s cooling technology can keep the device cool during extended gaming sessions so you don’t have to worry about performance throttling. The laptop is equipped with a 90Whr battery and offers a decent battery life considering it is a gaming laptop. It offers around six hours of battery life but this will significantly come down if you game on it. The Alienware x16 R2 offers a six-speaker setup with spatial audio. The device offers a good audio experience. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Verdict" comment="subhead" text="Verdict">Verdict</cmsannotation> The Alienware x16 R2 is a feature-packed laptop that offers powerful hardware, a good display and a decent battery life. The laptop also offers a good all-metal chassis with a minimalistic design but can also light up like a regular gaming laptop when you need it to. At the same time, the laptop is not very portable due to its large size and weight. If you want a laptop that you can easily carry around, this may not be the best option for you. Then again, If you are looking for a gaming laptop that you won’t carry around every day, the x16 R2 is a good option. The price is another thing that you need to consider. It is a very premium laptop and while it offers excellent hardware, you need to consider if it fits your budget.

<h2>Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 pros and cons</h2> Pros <ul><li>Sleek design</li><li>Display and performance</li></ul>Cons <ul><li>Price </li></ul><h2>Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 design</h2>Starting with the design, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 features a minimalistic design, unlike most gaming laptops available in the market. It is a great option for those looking for a gaming laptop that can double up as a work laptop. <div type="image" title="Rear" msid="115055218" hostid="261" sizebytes="19836" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 features a sleek design&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Another positive about this laptop is its compact form factor. It measures 35.4 x 24. x 1.64 cm and weighs just 1.85 kg, which is quite good for a gaming laptop with a 16-inch display. <div type="image" title="ROG" msid="115055251" hostid="261" sizebytes="35894" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;ROG logo&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 is available in two colour options – Grey and Platinum White. I tested the Platinum White colour variant, which comes with a white finish. The laptop comes with a unibody aluminium chassis, that feels extremely durable. It features a new clamshell design aimed at preventing the hot air from blowing towards the display. <div type="image" title="Back design" msid="115055177" hostid="261" sizebytes="46658" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 design&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> At the back, the laptop comes with a large diagonal LED strip, which the company has dubbed Slash Lighting. This replaces the dot-matrix display found on some of the earlier laptops from the company. The lighting feels more subtle and is aimed at giving a more minimalistic look to the device. You also have the option of completely turning off the lights if you want. <div type="image" title="Keyboard" msid="115055289" hostid="261" sizebytes="54458" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 keyboard&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> It comes with a membrane-switch keyboard that is good to use and responds well. As someone who has to use the keyboard a lot, I found it easy to use the keyboard. The trackpad is decent as well, allowing you to easily navigate. When it comes to gaming, I prefer a mouse, as it is easier to use. <div type="image" title="Keys" msid="115055306" hostid="261" sizebytes="62226" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 keys&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The keyboard is backlit and the only thing apart from the Slash Lighting that comes with LED lighting. Like most gaming laptops, the Zephyrus G16 misses out on numpad. <div type="image" title="Left" msid="115055317" hostid="261" sizebytes="22502" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Ports on the left&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The large size allows the laptop to offer ample ports. On the left, it comes with the power port, HDMI 2.1 port, a USB Type-C port, a USB Type-A port and a 3.5mm audio jack. <div type="image" title="Right" msid="115055373" hostid="261" sizebytes="23578" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Ports on the right&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> On the right side, the laptop features a USB Type-A port, a USB Type-C port and an SD card reader. <h2>Display</h2>The display is another area where the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 shines. It comes with a 16-inch 2.5K OLED display with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels, a 240Hz refresh rate, 0.2 ms response time and 500 nits of brightness, which is excellent for playing indoors and outdoors. <div type="image" title="D" msid="115055432" hostid="261" sizebytes="35080" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 display&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The colours look great as it comes with 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 colour gamut. The high-resolution display and the high refresh rate make it a treat to game on the device. I played games like Starfield, Red Dead Redemption 2 and more on the laptop, with the device offering excellent visuals in each game. <h2>Performance</h2>The Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 is powered with AMD’s new Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, a new chipset aimed at offering AI-centric features. It is part of the company’s Ryzen AI Strix Point hardware and has been paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GPU. The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor features 12 Cores and 24 Threads. This includes four performance Zen5 cores and eight efficiency Zen5c Cores. It runs at up to 80W TDP. The laptop comes with 32GB DDR5X 7500MHz RAM. For storage, it offers a 2TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD. While the RAM is soldered on and cannot be expanded, Asus has provided an extra M.2 2280 slot. As mentioned earlier, I tested the laptop with heavy games such as Red Dead Redemption 2, Starfield and Forza Horizon 5. The laptop was able to easily handle the games at maximum settings. The laptop can handle AAA games with ease at Ultra settings. The high refresh rate also allowed me to enjoy games such as Counter-Strike 2 and Valorant. Coming to its AI features, the new Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 chipset features the XDNA 2 NPU, which is designed for AI. The NPU can process up to 80 TOPS. The device comes with Ryzen AI, a suite of AI-powered apps from AMD. It includes the image generation tool Amuse AI, the LM Studio assistant, and more. While there’s still some way to go for AI-powered apps, the Ryzen AI is an excellent addition to the powerful laptop as it helps in boosting productivity. The device can also make use of AI capabilities baked into Windows and Microsoft Office 365. The laptop is equipped with a 90Whr battery and like most gaming laptops, battery life is not the device’s strongest point. During gaming, it offers around two hours of battery life at full performance. With normal usage, you can get around five to six hours of battery life out of the device. <h2>Verdict</h2>The Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 ticks off all the right boxes, including a premium design, powerful hardware, excellent display and more. The company has also added a ton of AI features that make use of the powerful NPU offered with the processor. Overall, this is an excellent option for those looking for a powerful gaming laptop that can also be used for work. One of the cons of the laptop is its battery life. If you want to use the laptop for several hours on the go, the Zephyrus G16 may not be the right option. However, if you don’t mind plugging in the laptop while using it, you should have no issues. Another thing that you need to consider is the price. The G16 is priced is on the higher side, charging a premium for the sleek design and the powerful hardware.
