While companies like Alienware and Razer were busy making their own versions of the Nintendo Switch, Republic of Gamers decided to stick with what they do best. Although ROG certainly still had some bells and whistles to make their laptops and desktops standout, Republic of Gamers went through this year’s CES with a selection of traditional PC gaming devices that put them on the cutting edge.

Here is everything that ASUS Republic Of Gamers announced at CES 2020. We’ve got a lot of ground to cover, so let’s get started.

Laptops

Let’s start with the laptops, where ASUS ROG came out with two platforms. The first is the ultra-thin ROG Zephyrus G14, a 14-inch laptop designed with ultra-portable gaming in mind.

The G14 weighs in at just 3.5 lbs, making it one of the lightest gaming laptops on the market. It easily slips into any backpack thanks to its 17.9mm thickness, but don’t let its small size fool you. This thing is packing enough power to put most desktop PCs to shame.

Inside is the latest-gen AMD Ryzen CPU along with a GeForce RTX video card. Two display options are available, one with a 120Hz refresh rate or one with a WQHD 2560x1440 resolution screen. Up to 32 GB of DDR4-3200 RAM and a 1 TB SSD are supported as well.

The real kicker is the AniMe Matrix display on the lid, which contains 1,215 white mini LEDs that can display custom graphics and animations. It can even display music feedback for a truly retro feel.

The ROG Zephyrus G15 has much the same hardware but in a larger, cheaper, and less-LED-focused 15-inch package. It’ll also have a larger, 240Hz display with G-sync as well for screen-tearless gaming.

Desktops

In much the same way as ROG gives us two laptops of varying sizes, ROG also gives us two desktops. The larger Strix GA35 and GT35 will be for when you plan to stay at home, while the Strix GA15 and GT15 are more for LAN-gamers.

The GA35 and GT35 are definitely the more powerful option. Inside the GA35 is a Ryzen 9 3950X CPU and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. Up to 64 GB of RAM and a 1 TB drive ensure plenty of memory for all applications. The GT35 will come out later in 2020 with the latest Intel chip.

For gaming on the go, the GA15 provides a compact, 22-pound package with a handle so that you can bring desktop power anywhere you want. Inside is a Ryzen 7 7 3800X CPU and a GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER. The GT15 will again feature an Intel processor later this year.

Both desktops have a liquid cooling system that keeps noise levels down to below 35 dB even under full load. If you prefer gaming in quiet contemplation (or just rather hearing the game instead of your whirring fans) then this is the desktop for you.

Monitors

ASUS ROG brought out three new monitors for CES 2020. First, we have a 32-inch 4K HDR gaming monitor they call the Swift PG32UQX. It features variable refresh rates up to 144 Hz, a 32-inch VESA DisplayHDR 1400-certified display, and a full-array local dimming backlight for the crispest possible image. G-Sync technology will ensure that the monitor’s refresh rate synchronizes with the GPU’s framerate, eliminating screen tearing.

The Swift PG43UQ is mostly the same but provides a 43-inch display for gamers who have a lot of desk real estate. On the opposite side of the monitor spectrum, the Strix XG17AHP is a 17.3-inch monitor that comes with a tripod and case that brings a 240Hz, full HD IPS display with you wherever you go. You can even connect it directly to your phone via USB-C.

Finally, the Swift 360Hz is the world’s first 360Hz gaming monitor. Frankly, this is slightly pointless since only the most ludicrously powerful machines can even approach 360 frames per second, but for those machines that can, here’s a display that synchronizes with your frame rate.

Peripherals

It wouldn’t be an ASUS CES without a few new mice and keyboards to talk about. The Strix Scope TKL Deluxe is a tenkeyless keyboard with RGB backlighting and a wide variety of Cherry MX switches to choose from. If you’re strapped for desk space, this keyboard will give your mouse room to maneuver.

Speaking of mice, ROG introduced three new mice at CES 2020. The ROG Chakram is a wireless mouse with a 16,000 DPI sensor and a dual-mode thumbstick to provide gamers with even more control over their games. The ROG Strix Impact II is the wireless version of the Impact that was introduced last year, and the Pugio II is a small, ambidextrous, and wireless mouse that’s perfect for on-the-go gaming.

And if you need a headset, the Strix Go 2.4 is a 2.4Ghz frequency wireless headset that will connect to virtually any device — even a Nintendo Switch! Expect a noise-canceling boom to ensure that your friends (or foes) hear you clearly in your online game sessions.
