Questions about ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 SE

To all unbelieving but proud brothers and sisters owners of this masterpiece For the moment of enlightenment you need the following secret recipe, which I bring to you with respect from the RAID high priest Panhead48, who kindly answered my cry for help here in the forum with these instructions. Thank you! Real community vibes. The point is that EVERY YouTuber out there who has tested the masterpiece here has had that delivered in a RAID 0 configuration. Us poor non-influencer pigs get a *OHNE* (you hear that, Digitec Slash ASUS?!) Raid 0! from Digitec Slash ASUS. AHCI! &%*$ and skulls. Here's what. This is what you need. But you have to bite the bullet and earn your moment of enlightenment (because we have too high expectations, tech engineers are only human, says my inner meta). You have to reboot the box. That's how you give yourself wings: Get a decent 64GB USB stick and get it ready for Windows 10 reinstallation using Microsoft Media Creation Tool 20H2. Google "Create Windows 10 installation media". Then you need to copy the RAID driver to the same USB stick. Google "Product Support for 2021 ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 SE" and you will end up at ASUS, the driver can be found under >Driver & Tools > Chipset > AMD Raid Driver. Download, start the setup, *not* install, but extract to the USB stick. Say goodbye to the void existence of your current Windows 10 setup, for the resurrection with twice as fast legs (in short: Save your soul, the body is done with). Boot your new baby, stick where it belongs and finger on F2 until you're in the heaven of the BIOS gods. Advanced>bury AHCI, welcome RAID. Save and Exit. And *directly* enter the BIOS again. If you now start Windows 10 again to see what happens, you will see that nothing happens. That's why you just said a dignified goodbye. If you messed up, start again from the beginning. Again into the BIOS, again Save & Exit, and this time seriously *directly* into the BIOS again. Then you will see a new entry under >Advanced: >RAIDXpert ... Enter it, delete the array, create a new one, enter both disks together with RAID0, Save & Exit. Now reinstall the OS. Boot from USB>reinstall> and you *still* don't see what should be there, because we have now built a new Raid 0: a *single* disk. To do this, you need the RAID drivers that you copied to the same USB stick. Select >Browse or similar. Important now, Focus: you have to do this step three times because the AMD Raid driver consists of three parts (don't ask.): 1. rcbottom 2. rcraid 3. rccfg In *the* order, not alphabetical. See you in heaven. You are welcome.

Does this laptop have a webcam, because the previous one didn't have one.

The refresh rate should be 60hz or 120hz, right?

No matter what settings I changed considering all the options reported by other users, **Sleep** on this marvel of a machine unfortunately does not work. Anybody else having the same issue? If I put the Laptop to Sleep, Keyboard is showing this "proper" "I'm in Sleep" animation, colors changing from left to right, then WASD blinking red, starting over. But when I resume working by pressing any key, the Screen shows the login page as expected, but if I enter PIN to unlock, I get logged in, **meaning the previous session got logged out, and sleep is not supposed to logout, not matter the settings, AFAIK!** Any hint as to where to look for answers appreciated. The workaround I'm using is Hibernate now, but oh boy all the fancy improvements for super-fast Sleep mode - gone.

Does the purchase include the backpack, mouse and headset?

It is still unclear to me whether it should be the FHD with 300Hz or the UHD with 120Hz version. How does it look if you lower the resolution of this device, UHD version. Does the picture still look good at 1440 or 1080p and what refresh rates are then available? I have searched the internet and found nothing concrete, except for the statements Gamer -> FHD 300Hz and Allrounder UHD 120Hz. Many thanks in advance!

Did you get this model with Raid 0 configuration? I have the Duo SE model with the 1920*1080 panel, and the box does not have Raid 0! Thanks for a quick feedback.

I have some questions about the scope of delivery: On YouTube unboxing videos for this laptop, it is mentioned that the Zephyrus Duo 15 SE comes with some accessories. Which is to be expected at this astronomical price. Included is: - An Asus ROG backpack for the laptop. - A ROG Delta headset - One ROG Gaming Mouse (Chakram) - One ROG Eye Web Cam (as there is none built into the device) - One Asus ROG Wrist Rest (to support the hands) - One Laptop Stand (made of cardboard) What puzzles me is that I couldn't find any of this in the product description, even though the product is more expensive in Switzerland than abroad. Is my fear correct that all this is not included in Switzerland?

I saw on YouTube in an unboxing video that a mouse and a backpack are also included. Is that also the case with digitec purchases? Greetings

Why did Asus build an HDMI 2.0 into this laptop and not a 2.1, since an RTX 3080 is installed? and I would have preferred to have only a 2TB M2 ssd and not 2x 1TB, then you could have installed a larger one in the second slot and why does it not support PCIe 4.0 when an AMD CPU is already installed. or are the specifications just wrong even on the ASUS website. And are the SSDs connected in RAID or not? LG

Hello Comes with 32GB Ram and 2x 1TB SSD. 48GB Ram and 2x 4TB (or more?) should be possible. Which upgrades fit there? Ram: Crucial 32GB DDR4 2666 MT/s Kit 16GBx2 SODIMM? SSD: Corsair MP400 with 8000GB? Thanks and greetings

This laptop seems almost perfect - BUT I don't see a Thunderbolt port.... really?? at 4000+ CHF still saved on the TB3 chip?!

Is the main monitor also touch? Or only the smaller one?
