PR follows

The World’s Number 1 Gaming Brand is starting the year with a bang, with a line-up the most innovative and powerful gaming laptops yet!

PASIG CITY, Philippines (January 13, 2020) – ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced the line-up of gaming laptops for 2021 at the ROG For Those Who Dare virtual launch event at CES 2021. This new roster of ROG notebooks features a wide variety of innovations that aim to cater to both lifestyle and hardcore gamers alike.

ROG FLOW X13

The ROG Flow X13 delivers powerful hardware in an ultraslim 13-inch body with up to an 8-core next generation AMD Ryzen™ 9 CPU and dedicated GeForce® GTX 1650 GPU. It has a slick convertible design with a 360° hinge that allows users to use different modes for different tasks such as from gaming to viewing, drawing, presenting, and many more. Slim and lightweight, this notebook is only 15.8mm thin and weighs only 1.3kg. Paired with a lightweight 100W USB Type-C charger, the Flow X13 redefines portability in gaming laptops and highlights how “Compact Is The New Impact”.

A key feature that the Flow X13 boasts is its external GPU dock, the ROG XG Mobile. The innovative ROG XG Mobile is a fraction of the size of external graphics alternatives yet incorporates a powerful GeForce RTX™ GPU, which connects directly to the CPU via a custom interface that’s faster than Thunderbolt 4. A dedicated USB 3.2 Gen 2 link feeds an I/O hub with extra connectivity, while an integrated 280W AC adapter powers both the XG Mobile and Flow X13, removing the need for users to carry an additional power brick.

Together, the Flow X13 and XG Mobile redefine what’s possible with a 13-inch device, empowering users with versatile portability while providing desktop-class gaming performance and connectivity on demand.

ROG ZEPHYRUS DUO 15 SE

Coming off its success from last year, the new-and-improved Zephyrus Duo 15 SE is also set to make a return to the market. This beast of a gaming laptop incorporates up to a latest AMD Ryzen™ 9 CPU and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ GPU. Its innovative AAS Plus cooling system features redesigned fans that help dissipate up to 165W of combined processor power. It also comes with choices between a premium 4K 120Hz panel display for uncompromising visuals, for both gaming and creative work as well as a 300Hz Full HD alternative display for esports-grade speed. The RAID storage nearly doubles throughput by connecting dual SSDs directly to the CPU.

This gaming notebook combines an upgraded 15.6” main display with the critically acclaimed ROG ScreenPad Plus, which provides touchscreen controls on a 14.1” secondary display that enhances everything from gaming and streaming to content creation, which makes it a favorite among multitaskers.

ROG STRIX SCAR 15 AND 17

The esports favorite ROG Strix SCAR 15 and Strix SCAR 17 is returning. The line will still feature one of the world’s fastest laptop displays, with up to 300Hz refresh rate and 3ms response while driven by powerful new GeForce RTX™ GPUs and next-generation Ryzen™ mobile CPUs. The new SCAR series also offers an optical-mechanical keyboard, delivering both rapid response and high durability.

On the Strix SCAR series, the aluminum lid is slashed with a shimmering dot matrix design created with precise electroplating. A soft-touch texture makes the palm rests comfortably smooth, and a translucent treatment on the keyboard deck shows the hardware inside. Under the body, larger rubber feet take a cue from running shoes to maximize stability and grip. Customizable Armor Caps add a new level of personalization, allowing users modify the chassis itself. The laptops come with Rubber Grey, Translucent Black, and Spangle Silver hinge caps that can be quickly swapped. ROG also provides the 3D printer source file to let users create completely custom caps.

For gamers who want a stylish and powerful laptop at a friendlier cost, the ROG Strix G15 and G17 are also making come-back. Also featuring up to an AMD Ryzen™ 9 processor and GeForce RTX™ GPU backed by 32GB of memory and up to 1TB of SSD storage, the ROG Strix G15 and G17 are capable gaming machines for all kinds of gamers. The display options available are between up to a 300Hz refresh rate with 3ms response time or a super-sharp WQHD screen at 165Hz/3ms with a wider color gamut. This latest generation is made in 3 different colors: Original Black, Eclipse Grey, and Electro Punk.

TUF DASH F15

ASUS introduces the TUF Dash F15 gaming laptop, a super slim 15-inch device that represents a more portable, lightweight, and inclusive direction for the TUF Gaming series. Powered by the latest 11th Gen Intel® Tiger Lake CPU and newest generation of GeForce RTX™ GPUs, the TUF Dash boasts power and value together with its new slim and stylish form factor.

Its powerful core experience is rounded out with high-end features not typically seen at accessible price points, such as a tournament-level gaming panel with up to 144Hz refresh rate, a versatile Thunderbolt 4 port, and Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation technology. Gamers can be productive longer on the go thanks to an expansive battery that nets up to 16.6 hours of video playback and Type-C charging that extends battery life from a variety of adapters and power packs. The TUF Dash F15 fits all these features in a chassis that is stylish without sacrificing the TUF Gaming series’ signature military-grade durability.

Also showcased in the event is the refresh of the best selling TUF Gaming A15 and A17 featuring new AMD CPUs and NVIDIA GPUs as well as an updated version of the award-winning ROG Zephyrus G14 featuring updated specs and refinements.

ROG CITADEL XV

Also announced today is the ROG Citadel XV, a new interactive experience to showcase the latest line of cutting-edge gaming gear and technologies from ROG. The ROG Citadel XV introduces the player to the characters and stories underpinning the ROG visual universe. Players can freely explore four themed demo rooms to see the latest gear to be available in 2021.

It is the first self-made virtual experience ROG has ever created, giving audiences a closer look at the brand’s universe as well as the latest devices. During a time when in-person conventions are unavailable, ROG has drawn inspiration from games to create a new kind of event.

The ROG Citadel XV is free and will be available on Steam starting at January 13, 2:40AM, Philippine Time.
