Asus Previews Water-Cooled Gaming Laptop
BERLIN—Asus revealed a slew of new computing and gaming products here at IFA today, including the world's first water-cooled gaming laptop.
The ROG GX700 (above) features a 17-inch G-Sync 4K display and a very bulbous water reservoir that tests the limitations of the word "laptop." The company revealed very little about the GX700 except to say that it provides a "stable, super-fast performance," but promised more details in the future.
The G752 gaming laptop (below), however, stands as the flagship product in Asus's with battery like Asus A32-U1 battery, Asus U3Sg battery, Asus AL31-1005 battery, Asus AL32-1005 battery, Asus AP31-1008P battery, Asus F3Sr battery, Asus M50Sr battery, Asus Z53Jc battery, Asus M51Se battery, Asus A32-A8 battery, Asus 90-NF51B1000 battery, Asus Z99Sc batteryRepublic of Gamers (ROG) lineup. It boasts a 4K IPS display, Nvidia GTX 980M graphics card, sixth-generation Intel Core i7 CPU, a keyboard with 30-key rollover anti-ghosting, and out-of-the-box overclocking. It will arrive in Q4, but pricing has not yet been announced.
The ROG G20, meanwhile, is a new high-end gaming PC that Asus claims is the "most dominating" PC under 10 liters. It boasts an Intel Core i7-6700 and Nvidia GFX Titan graphics card. It shares the vaguely triangular shape of previous ROG desktops, and features custom colored lighting and a music mode that moves in time with audio. Asus claims it's capable of outputting 4K games at ultra-high graphical settings and 50 frames per second, but that number will vary wildly depending on the game in question.
Other ROG reveals included the ROG Matrix GTX 980 TI, the company's newest Nvidia GTX 980 graphics card, with options for tweaking and overclocking. The new Maximus VIII Extreme Assembly motherboard is also designed for overclocking, and includes a 10Gbps high-speed Wi-Fi card and an audio break-out box. The Swift PG348Q is the newest ROG gaming monitor, a 34-inch curved display, and new ROG keyboards, mice, and headsets are also on the way.
Asus also showed off what it claims to be the worldf's fastest Wi-Fi router, the RT-AC5300, which sports six antannae that make it look like Eisengard.
The Asus Zen AiO S is the newest iteration of the company's all-in-one PC. It features a 4K display, the latest generation Intel Core i7, an Nvidia GTX 960M graphics card, 32GB DDR4 memory, and USB 3.1 ports. It also optionally supports the Intel RealSense camera for biometric login, gesture controls, and other functions. The high-end, i7-equipped model starts at 1,499 euros, and the i5-equipped AiO S starts at 1,099 euros. U.S. pricing has not yet been announced.
