"Gaming laptops have settled into a comfortable rhythm. A 16-inch clamshell, an RGB keyboard, a high-refresh panel, and a GPU that fits into a backpack. Most people buy them, use them, and expect roughly the same experience from every generation. ROG's CES 2026 lineup arrives at a moment when AI hardware, OLED panels, and new hinge engineering are all maturing at once, and the company seems very interested in experimenting with what that makes possible."
"The Duo is the laptop for people who never have enough screen space. Both the main and secondary panels are 16-inch 3K ROG Nebula HDR OLED touchscreens running at 120 Hz with 0.2 ms response times, 100% DCI-P3, and ΔE < 1 color accuracy. In practice, that means a game or timeline can live on the top screen while chat, mixer controls, or reference material sit on the lower one, without feeling like a cramped compromise."
"The 320-degree hinge and kickstand let the Duo shift between five operating modes, from traditional clamshell to dual-screen desktop, presentation stand, or drawing surface. A full-size wireless keyboard and touchpad can move off the chassis entirely, so you can push the screens closer and treat the machine like a tiny dual-monitor rig on a hotel desk or studio table. It is a laptop that behaves more like a modular workstation than a fixed shape."
ROG's CES 2026 lineup combines maturing AI hardware, OLED panels, and hinge engineering to create novel laptop designs. The Zephyrus Duo GX651 uses dual 16-inch 3K ROG Nebula HDR OLED touchscreens at 120 Hz with 0.2 ms response, 100% DCI-P3, and ΔE < 1, and a 320-degree hinge with a kickstand enabling five operating modes and a removable full-size wireless keyboard and touchpad. The Flow Z13-KJP compresses a gaming PC into a tablet form with unified memory and NPU power sufficient to run a 70-billion-parameter language model. The lineup also includes refreshed Zephyrus G14 and G16 ultraportables and the holographic ROG G1000 desktop. Systems can include Intel Core Ultra processors, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPUs, and up to 64 GB of LPDDR5X memory.
