At this year's ROG Unleashed event in San Francisco, California, ASUS introduced its all-new lineup of Republic of Gaming (ROG) PC gaming hardware - powered by Windows 10.
The ROG GX700 brings a desktop-class competitor to the notebook space, with a self-contained liquid-cooling dock that enables cooling performance while also lowering noise. The ROG G752 notebook succeeds ASUS’ award-winning ROG G751-series, and features a Hyper Cool with Duo-copper cooling system for maximum cooling efficiency. And finally, the ROG G20 Compact Desktop PC is an Oculus-ready powerhouse, designed to offer the best possible virtual reality experience with the upcoming Oculus Rift.
And of course, they’re all powered by Windows 10 – which access to lots of new features, such as Cortana, Microsoft Edge, and Continuum. Best of all: Microsoft Game DVR functionality lets gamers capture video clips and screenshots while playing PC games, to watch later or share on social media. And Xbox One game streaming capabilities enables users to stream games from their Xbox One – including exclusive titles such as Forza Motorsport 6 and the upcoming Halo 5: Guardians.

Residing within the notebook is the latest 6th Generation Intel Core i7 K-series processor that’s unlocked for easier overclocking and a desktop-class NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 graphics processor that’s also overclockable and ready for next-generation virtual-reality (VR) gaming. A 4K IPS display with NVIDIA GSYNC technology lets gamers pick their own path to next-generation gaming – 4K or VR – the GX700 is ready for both.
