Asus’ Republic of Gamers
line has always been a brand associated with high-end and high-performance PC
gaming. This year, Asus’ is going head-to-head with another Taiwanese PC maker –
Acer.
To compete with Acer’s Predator gaming products, Asus unveiled
several new Republic of Gamers products at the German event this week including
two high-performance laptops, and a special edition small form factor desktop.
First one up, we have the ROG G20 special edition, which is
actually a refresh of the G20
that was introduced at Computex 2014. This edition features the latest
generation of Intel’s Core i7 processor and NVidia’s GeForce GTX Titan X GPU
that supports 4K resolution displays.
The chassis of the G20 is adorned with Mayan-inspired
markings and uses special design to naturally cool itself. Furthermore, the
casing uses natural convection through hidden airflow channels with fans to
cool its internal components. The chassis also features customizable LED
effects that can show up to 8 million colors.
Then we have the new ROG G752 laptop. Just like any other
gaming laptop announced at the event, the G752 boasts the latest Intel Core i7
processor which is complemented by an NVidia GTX 900M graphics processor.
One interesting feature of the G752 would be its innovative
dust-release thermal solution that collects dust and channels it outside the
device to prevent dust buildup and increase system stability and longevity. The
laptop also features Armor Titanium and Plasma copper accents that add to the
device’s gaming-centric design.
Then there’s the ROG GX700, which looks very similar to the
G752 with its Armor Titanium and Plasma copper accents. It also packs the
latest NVidia graphics processor, a 6th generation Intel K-SKU
processor and a 17-inch 4K IPS display.
The most interesting feature of the GX700 lies somewhere
else in the form of an external water-cooling accessory which is said to
provide better gaming performance through effective heat management.
