Review on ASUS Zephyrus Display Keyboard GX551QS XS98 by John Holliday

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing and powerful dual screen laptop with stylus support

I love this laptop. It's thin and light enough, but it has crazy fills and a second screen! I get about 6 hours of battery life when using the integrated GPU and about 3 when using the dedicated GPU for various lighter tasks. This thing is a productivity monster, and it even has pen support! The pen for my Surface Pro works fine, and the eraser on the back even works (but only the second screen works with touch and pen). Plus, it looks amazing and is a serious gaming monster! I got 50-60 frames (usually closer to 60) in Cyberpunk on Ultra with DLSS ray tracing enabled, which is good enough for me. Even the cooling is as close to ideal as it can be in a laptop. I stayed around 80 degrees Celsius the whole time in performance mode and the fans didn't sound like a jet plane. If I had one thing to complain about, it's that the main screen doesn't support touch input and a stylus. On top of that, it's 100% the best and most powerful laptop I've ever seen, with the possible exception of the 3080 configuration of the same machine. In my opinion, this is definitely a desktop replacement and I hope all laptops move there.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires an outlet
