Asus is announcing a new Asus ROG dual-screen gaming laptop for CES 2026, with a reveal set for January 5th. The company’s ROG Global account posted a short video on X at 3:00 p.m. PT, pointing to January 5th.
It’s still just a teaser, so there’s no model name, no specs and no pricing. What it brings to the table is the concept, which is a gaming laptop seemingly built around more than one display.
Asus is leaning towards the second screen again
The video focuses on quick, sharp shots, but the framing suggests a main display paired with a secondary panel integrated into the body. It’s the kind of teasing meant to inspire appreciation.
That’s the slightly funny part here. Asus is already selling dual-display ideas in other laptops and has even shipped a foldable PC with a panel. So if ROG returns to a second screen, it needs a clear reason.
This is familiar territory for ROG
With the ROG Zephyrus Duo 15, Asus has already launched a dual-screen gaming laptop that combines a primary screen with a second panel above the keyboard for additional apps while keeping a game in the foreground.
Asus also played with the idea in the non-gaming area with the Zenbook Duo (2024) and took a different approach with the Zenbook Fold 17, which is based entirely on a single flexible panel instead of two separate displays. Whatever you think about the execution, Asus always comes back to the same bet: More screen real estate changes the way you use a laptop.
The pitch is simple, but the compromises are not
For gamers, the advantage is obvious. A second display can keep Discord, stream controls, monitoring tools, or a guide visible without having to constantly Alt-Tab.
But laptops with two screens also tend to quickly make compromises. Keyboard and touchpad layouts can be awkward, and the entire setup is only worth it if the software experience makes the additional panel seem essential rather than optional.
What January 5th has to answer
The CES reveal has one job: to explain what the second display is for and how it fits into a gaming-first design without compromising everything else.
Until then, you’ve got a date, a quick taste, and a clear indication that Asus wants to try the dual-screen ROG idea again.
