    Thunderbolt 2 is old tech, laptops with 2 displayPorts, there are lots, with 2 TB2 interfaces, I dont think there is even a single model.

    Are you saying "you don't think Asus have or you don't think there is any other brand with that"?

    I only see one product with it that... Sager/Clevo yet I don;t see the list of their model anywhere that where I can see all their model that have it.
    Yes, it might be an old technology but it is still relevant. Some Alienware have just only 1 alongside the TB-3.

    DisplayPort is common, in fact, lots of laptops have displayPort, be it in miniDP connectors or over USB-C(one of the possible alternative modes for the USB-C port is DisplayPort).
    Thunderbolt 2 is old tech, there isn't a single laptop in the world with Thunderbolt 2 AND thunderbolt 3.
    if you want a laptop with 2 display ports just say so, because thunderbolt and display port are very different things.

    Just answer please... No need to try to change topic. I know Mini-Dp & TB2 are not the same in terms of technology but some system can switch which I know Dell does via their Bios.

    Please do you happen to know if Asus have any model with Dual Mini DP?
    Hope this is straight forward?

    You will only find two DP ports in DTRs, most common now is DP as an alternate mode of the USB-C plus one HDMI interface.
    The SCAR III for example offers your one DP and one HDMI 2.0.
