ASUS Republic of Gamers Unveils a Powerful Line-up of Gaming Gear at Computex 2017

TAIPEI, Taiwan, May 30, 2017 — #asus Republic of Gamers (ROG) today opened the Join the Republic press event at #computex2017 to unveil the latest line-up of gaming innovation crafted for the world’s finest players.

Leading the presentation on stage, #asus Chairman, Jonney Shih, underscored the position of ROG as the No. 1 gaming brand worldwide, saying: “I'm very proud to witness how ROG’s dedication to superior design and engineering has been recognized and celebrated by the gaming community worldwide for more than a decade. Today's announcement and demonstration show how ROG products reach out to every gamer, empowering players of all skill levels and from all over the world to enjoy the best gaming experiences — and to win more battles!”

Unveiled for the first time was the long-awaited ROG Zephyrus, the world’s slimmest gaming laptop powered by a 7th Generation Intel® Core i7™ (Kaby Lake) processor and the latest NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1080 graphics. Zephyrus features the Windows 10 Creators Update, which improves the performance of PC games via the all-new Windows Game Mode, and makes it easier to perform native game-streaming with Beam, Microsoft’s streaming service. Other products revealed include: ROG Strix SCAR Edition, a brand-new gaming laptop engineered to give FPS players a vital edge, with Intel Core i7 processors, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10 Series graphics, and an ultrafast 120Hz, 5ms display; and ROG Strix Hero Edition, a new gaming laptop made for MOBA heroes, with Intel Core i7 processors, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10 Series graphics and a 120Hz wide-view display with rich color fidelity.

Also shown for the first time were: Rampage VI Extreme, a flagship motherboard for dream X299 systems with custom liquid cooling and next-level customization; ROG Rampage VI Apex, an all-new X299 motherboard designed for record-breaking overclocking and sub-zero cooling[1]; ROG Swift PG35VQ, a 35-inch 3440x1440 HDR curved panel monitor with a 200MHz refresh rate and NVIDIA G-SYNC™ technology; and ROG Strix Fusion, the world's first gaming headset with exclusive headset-to-headset RGB-lighting sync and mobile app control.

The latest ROG gaming laptops have been carefully designed to delight two distinct types of gamer: those who crave the best performance from the latest resource-intensive AAA titles; and those who need certain performance and control-enhancing features to succeed at online eSports games and events.

ROG also officially launched the #asus Aura SDK beta program, an evolving developer toolkit based on the most comprehensive full-system-lighting solution, furthers the capabilities and benefits of our Aura illumination technology. Aura SDK enables developers to fully exploit the capabilities of the vast eco-system of #asus Aura Sync-capable gear, including the ability to display an array of system stats and alerts via RGB illumination, and brilliantly portray in-game action with real-time synchronized lighting — unleashing infinite lighting possibilities.

The latest ROG announcements also highlight the continuing strong relationship between #asus and Microsoft and their commitment to providing the best gaming experiences. Peter Han, vice president, Partner Devices and Solutions, Microsoft, said, “Microsoft and #asus continue to bring together the most advanced gaming software and hardware – Windows 10 and Republic of Gamers – to deliver unprecedented, immersive experiences to gamers all over the world. At Microsoft, we are continuing to bring the biggest lineup of games to Windows 10 PCs, and with Xbox Play Anywhere gamers can experience the freedom to play their games wherever they want.”
