A new year, new hardware. Traditionally, CES is the event where just about every brand presents its new laptops and the perfect time for gamers to determine if they need an upgrade. CES is also the time to introduce innovative products, and ASUS and ROG never disappoint. This is what we saw a few years ago the amazing ROG Mothership landing at the fair, a 2-in-1 monster that required a whopping two chargers to maximize its performance.
ROG goes (even more) mobile with Flow Z13
Last year we saw the presentation of the Flow X13 and XG Mobile external GPU, a compact laptop that could be transformed into a premium gaming machine if desired. A great piece of technology for the hybrid gamer.
This year ASUS decided for a best of CES of years gone by and the result of those efforts is the new Flow Z13 gaming tablet. With Windows 11, up to a 14-core Intel Core i9-12900H, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti laptop GPU, and 5200MHz LPDDR5 memory, this tablet packs a lot of power in an ultra-thin and light chassis.
Gaming can be done in different ways: Classically with mouse and keyboard, handheld via the touchscreen, with a controller in combination with the kickstand or as part of a powerful gaming setup thanks to the XG Mobile. In addition to last year’s NVIDIA RTX 3080 version, the latter is now also available with an AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT GPU. De Flow X13 was then updated with the latest AMD Ryzen 9 6000 Series CPU and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU.
Re-gaming with two screens
Another innovative product from ROG are the Zephyrus laptops with two displays. Last year we reviewed the ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 SE, which is followed by the new Zephyrus Duo 16. In this model you can again expect the very best, with an AMD Ryzen 9 6980HX CPU and a 150W NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti laptop GPU. New is the Dual Spec panel, which can switch between 4K 120Hz and Full HD 240Hz, so gamers can choose whether to prioritize resolution or framerate per game or app per app.
Furthermore, the ROG Zephyrus G14, G15 and M16 this year upgrades to Windows 11 and the latest next-generation hardware, including DDR5 RAM. The G14 stands out from the crowd with its AniMe Matrix display, which this year consists of even more mini-LEDs, for a total of 1,449.
Also upgrades for esports
Finally, there are also the ROG Strix SCAR and Strix G, which target esports athletes. ROG Strix SCAR features Windows 11 Pro, a high refresh rate display and ROG Intelligent Cooling with Liquid Metal Conductonaut Extreme. Featuring up to a 12th generation Intel Core i9-12900H processor, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti laptop GPU at 150W with Dynamic Boost and DDR5 4800MHz RAM, the gaming laptop is designed for high-refresh gaming.
The new ROG Strix G15 and G17 are powered by an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti laptop GPU at 150W with Dynamic Boost for comparable high-end power. The G15 offers Full HD 300Hz and QHD 165Hz display options, while the G17 offers Full HD 360Hz and QHD 240hz for competitive gaming.
