I know it is kind of old article, but need to ask - if I insert additional RAM module in the free slot, am I going to get dual channel (soldered + inserted RAM)? Thank You.

Were the GPU tests (timespy, gaming benchmarks) performed on the internal display or on an external monitor? It seems optimus limits performance when using the notebook display.

Is this laptop capable of g-sync when using an external display (via USB-C DisplayPort alt mode)?

The review for the Duo is out and a guy noted the 3080 underperforming compared to the Blade 17 while drawing similar wattage so it's not a cooling issue, so there's more digging to do.

@S. Yu: "80% ARGB means it's one of the worst OLEDs on the market" To be clear, this is the same 2020 Samsung OLED panel being used on every high-end laptop like XPS 15, X1 Extreme, etc. OLED has slight color accuracy shifting when changing brightness, so 80% ARGB is not really a fixed value. HP also has 2 other non-touch screens that can be "better", depending on what you need, but I mostly wanted touch, - 4K UHD "DreamColor" 600nit 100% ARGB Matte IPS - 2K FHD "SureView" 1000nit 70% ARGB Matte IPS I have yet to see a better touchscreen than this on a high-end performance laptop. So if you find a Ryzen 5000H + RTX 3000 laptop with a better screen, then please, do let me know :) Zephyrus Duo 15 SE looks very appealing, and almost 2x$ as laptops of similar specs. Good for you if you can afford one.

If I buy the vanilla then I'll use it as is but would settle for 80W TGP, if I buy the Duo then it'll be quite a bit heavier and I'll have to get something to cover up the ROG logo on the lid. I'm still inclined towards the Duo.

Hey guys wanted to ask if there's any sort of advanced Optimus or mux on this or the g14 and if not what is the combined power draw from the wall of the CPU and GPU in silent mode while stress testing as well as gaming at 1080p and 720p with a 60fps and 30fps cap (any game will do) Thanks! (Reasoning is a 100w pd USB c power bank will be my go to source of power while traveling and want to know if it's possible to keep total system load under 100w while doing intensive tasks on silent mode)

@john10001: Touchscreen is certainly a polarized topic, which is why I believe there should be at least an option on every laptop. Pro choice. OLED is just better than IPS for gaming, consuming media, content creation, pretty much everything. Last year I took part in a Reddit survey provided by XMG/Schenker (I can't remember), who asked tech enthusiasts if we wanted OLED on a certain Ryzen gaming laptop. Long story short, turns out Ryzen 4000 was incompatible with OLED and certain Touchscreens. This wouldn't be a deal-breaker for a lot of people, but not me. Finally on October I bought a HP ZBook Create 15 laptop from HP(USA) with a big discount. - 4K OLED Touchscreen, 500 nits, 80% AdobeRGB, glossy but I applied a matte screen protector so now it's anti-glare. - i7-10750H - RTX 2070 Super Max-Q - 32GB DDR4-3200 - 1TB NVMe - 83Wh battery - 2.1 kg - Better build quality than any gaming laptop ever made, including Razor Blade - $2200 USD And I would never trade that 4K OLED Glossy Touchscreen for a generic FHD Matte IPS display, ever, again.

I agree about the ports though. I don't see the point of touchscreens on a laptop. Maybe others have a use for them but I don't. I have one at the moment and never use it. It only annoys me whenever I accidentally move the screen if I touch it by accident.
