Asus takes gamers to the bleeding edge with the ROG GX800VH gaming laptop
Gaming machine with a big price tag aims to give gamers an experience without compromises
In the gaming era, life at the bleeding edge is there for the taking, if you have the biggest of egos and a wallet stuffed full of cash – about US$6,000-plus, in the case of the Asus Republic of Gamers (ROG) GX800VH gaming laptop.
As you would expect at that price point, the GX800VH is no ordinary gaming machine. It is a powerful, liquid-cooled Windows 10 gaming laptop featuring a detachable cooling dock – for extreme overclocking of the graphics cards, CPU and DRAM.
Powered by Intel’s top-of-the-line, overclockable i7-7820HK processor, the GX800VH features two Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 graphics cards paired in SLI delivering monstrous gaming performance, 64GB of DDR4 memory, and an 18.4-inch 4K display with G-sync.
The laptop also has a Mechanical Tactile Advanced Gaming (MechTAG) mechanical-switch keyboard, which features anti-ghosting with 30-key rollover, and customisable Aura RGB LED effects for each individual key.
As a gaming laptop, the GX800VH comes with a whopping price tag – but for those that want the best, it’s highly desirable.
