Asus is teasing a new Asus ROG dual-screen gaming laptop for CES 2026, with a set reveal time on January 5. The company’s ROG Global account posted a short video on X pointing to January 5 at 3 pm PT.
It’s still just a teaser, so there’s no model name, no specs, and no pricing. What it does put on the table is the concept, which is a gaming notebook that looks built around more than one display.
Asus is leaning into the second screen again
The video sticks to quick, tight shots, but the framing suggests a main display paired with a secondary panel integrated into the chassis. It’s the kind of tease meant to spark recognition.
That’s the slightly funny part here. Asus already sells dual-display ideas in other laptops, and it has even shipped a single-panel foldable PC. So if ROG is going back to a second screen, it needs a clear reason.
This is familiar territory for ROG
Asus has shipped a dual-screen gaming laptop before in the form of the ROG Zephyrus Duo 15, which paired a primary screen with a second panel above the keyboard for extra apps while a game stayed front and center.
On the non-gaming side, Asus has also played with the idea in the Zenbook Duo (2024), and it has taken a different swing with the Zenbook Fold 17, which goes all-in on a single flexible panel instead of two separate displays. However you feel about the execution, Asus keeps coming back to the same bet: more screen space changes how you use a laptop.
The pitch is easy, the tradeoffs aren’t
For gamers, the upside is obvious. A second display can keep Discord, stream controls, monitoring tools, or a guide visible without constant alt-tabbing.
But dual-screen laptops also tend to collect compromises fast. Keyboard and touchpad layouts can get awkward, and the whole setup only pays off if the software experience makes the extra panel feel essential instead of optional.
What January 5 needs to answer
The CES reveal has one job: explain what the second display is for, and how it fits into a gaming-first design without making everything else worse.
Until then, you’ve got a date, a short tease, and the strong hint that Asus wants to try the dual-screen ROG idea again.
