Widely renowned as the gold standard on gaming laptops, the Republic of Gamers (ROG) by ASUS has announced a host of exciting launches for spring this year. The new laptops will employ the tenth-gen Intel Core CPUs for superior performance and NVIDIA GeForce RTX SUPER GPUs for multimedia excellence.
ASUS has also incorporated pioneering additions like secondary touchscreens for multitasking and liquid metal for efficient cooling. The evolved range spans popular ASUS ROG line-ups like Zephyrus, Strix Scar and Strix G.

Major wins in overall performance and display
One of the most significant victories of the spring range is the use of tenth-gen Intel processors that come with eight cores. With support for overclocking up to 5.3GHz, they are a Godsend for avid gamers and multimedia enthusiasts looking for responsive performance.
ASUS combines the processing excellence with speedier RAM—DDR4-3200—that is up to 10% faster than 2933MHz DDR4. Graphics performance gets a gigantic upswing from the use of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER cards and, in some models, the RTX 2080 SUPER.
Another innovative performance triumph comes from the use of liquid metal for heat dissipation. Along with a liquid crystal polymer and self-cleaning thermal components, the liquid metal optimizes performance by keeping the innards cooler for longer.
The evolved ROG laptops will also have improved displays with 4K panels, higher refresh rates—up to 300Hz—and more accurate color.
Zephyrus Duo 15: Secondary touchscreen for increased productivity
The ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 now includes a second display, built using an ergonomic hinge, for multitasking and portable computing.
That said, the primary screen comes with spellbinding options: an FHD monitor with a 300Hz refresh rate or a 4K UHD screen with a 100% Adobe RGB spectrum. Both come with NVIDIA G-SYNC to minimize tearing and delays during gaming.
Zephyrus S17: Immersive gaming, minus the bulk
