While curved screens and monitors aren’t new to the market, Asus shook up the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show with a switched-up version of their classic Zenbook. Unlike the competition, this model sports a screen that does more than curve or roll. It completely folds in half, giving a new look to transforming laptops. Tablets that sport attachable keyboards have been a staple of the tech industry for nearly a decade. But it’s…

CES 2020: Asus Tinker Edge R and Edge T Single-Board Computers
One of the great things about CES is that it offers something for just about everyone whose interests include electronics, from casual console gamers to seasoned industry engineers. You don’t necessarily need to be a gadget geek to enjoy it, though there are certainly plenty of opportunities to nerd out over electronic esoterica—stuff a little more complicated than a new mouse or monitor. In the Asus booth, that was the case with the…

Our first stop at CES 2020 was at the Asus booth, where we caught up with our friend Geoff to find out what one of the most well-known names in PC gaming had in store. As in years past, we found quite the impressive spread of gaming PCs and peripherals. First let’s have a look at the mobile gaming gear.

CES 2019: Asus ROG Gaming Motherboards

These ASUS ROG motherboards are built to support both Intel and AMD’s top-tier chips: the Zenith Extreme Alpha sports AMD’s TR4 socket, while the…
CES 2019: Asus ROG Mothership GZ700 Gaming Laptop
Every year, we get a chance to visit the ASUS CES display, tucked away from the madness of the convention center main hall. It’s a much better environment to get hands-on with the brand’s arsenal of gaming and productivity products. The first thing to catch our attention this year was the ASUS ROG Mothership GZ700. Not quite laptop, not quite all-in-one PC (we’re actually not sure what to call it), it is…
Laptops for Work and Play
For a long time, buying a laptop meant you’d have to settle for compromises in performance and usability compared to a similarly-priced desktop. Low-quality screens, weak processors, and poor graphics equaled a bad time when it came to intensive tasks like heavy media editing or working with large spreadsheets. To get the power of a desktop, you’d need a bulky machine with a heavy battery—which would only last a few hours at that.…

CES 2017: ASUS ROG Gaming Laptops

They produce just about every type of component or accessory available, in addition to phones, tablets, monitors, and complete desktops and laptops. While many of their products are intended for the mainstream audience, ASUS is also strongly devoted to the PC gaming community. The ASUS Republic of Gamers—or ROG—sub-brand features a product line stacked with…
