It might be frivolous in these times of pandemic to be getting excited about weird laptop designs, but the new ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 could well cut through the cynicism. Unveiled today amid a heady flood of new performance laptops all using Intel's latest 10th Gen Core H-Series processors, the dual-display notebook isn't what we've come to expect from most gaming machines, and that feels like a good thing.

ASUS has revealed its latest Republic of Gamers laptop range, and there's more than just the new 10th Gen Intel Core H-Series processors to recommend them. The lineup includes a new ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo 15, complete with its secondary ScreenPad Plus touchscreen, while NVIDIA's GeForce RTX SUPER GPUs are driving 300Hz displays.

ASUS' Zephyrus G14 laptop, which pairs gaming-friendly specs with an LED matrix lid for animated patterns, has been priced up for the US. Announced at CES 2020, the Zephyrus G14 is a 14-inch ultra-slim notebook, but while ASUS is offering up to a 120Hz display and GeForce RTX 2060 graphics, it's arguably what's on the opposite side that's most interesting.

While Google will naturally prefer that Stadia gamers buy Chromecasts and Controllers, one of the service's biggest selling factors is the ability to play AAA PC games anywhere on a smartphone. To that end, Google's expansion of Stadia compatibility to 20 more phones was very much welcomed but those only named existing models. There is at least one still unannounced phone that, as early as now, has been revealed to be Stadia-compatible. Even more important, it will actually already be Stadia-ready when it comes out with the app already pre-installed.

Following the footsteps of the Razer Phone, a few phone makers have started carving a niche gaming smartphone market that combined the usual high-end specs you'd see in premium flagships with a few gaming-centric touches. The ASUS ROG Phone, both the first and the current second-gen model, is arguably the most expensive of the group but while the ROG Phone 2 does have the makings of a topnotch gaming phone, it seems to have missed out on one of the most important aspects of modern phones today: the cameras.

ASUS Republic of Gamers has announced a number of new products at CES 2020, including its new ROG Zephyrus G14 and G15 gaming laptops. Despite having enough power to handle your favorite games, the new ROG Zephyrus models are quite thin and relatively light. The G14 is available with an optional AniMe Matrix LED display on the lid, which features more than 1,000 mini LEDs to express the player's personal style using animated GIFs.

If there's a theme to CES today, it could very well be high-end Chromebooks. Alongside Samsung's announcement of the Galaxy Chromebook, ASUS has revealed the Chromebook Flip C436. A CES 2020 reveal for the C436 is particularly timely, as the Chromebook's predecessor - the C434 - was revealed at CES 2019.

While graphics cards tend to get a lot of attention when it comes to PC gaming hardware, enthusiasts and pro players alike will tell you that the quality of your display is very important as well. You don’t have to go far to find a PC gamer singing the praises of high refresh rate displays, with many of them using either a 144Hz or 240Hz monitor instead of the more commonly seen 60Hz monitor. NVIDIA and ASUS ROG are taking things one step further today by announcing a 360Hz display that’s compatible with G-Sync.

Do you ever look at someone else’s phone and wish you had just that one feature that would make your phone perfect? We all want the flawless device, but many manufacturers insist on certain designs and features that put it shy of perfection. A phone may have the best camera in the business but have an atrocious camera arrangement; another phone could have max-ed out specs but miss out on sturdy materials to protect it.

If you're in the market for a laptop that screams "Pro," then you'll be pleased to know that the ASUS ProArt StudioBook Pro 15 is now available to purchase. This is a laptop that's so "Pro" that ASUS put it in the name twice! It doesn't get much better than that, does it?

The ROG Phone and its current successor the ROG Phone 2 arguably represent the spirit of PC gaming transferred to mobile with their looks, specs, and accessories. They are also arguably the most expensive of the current generation of gaming smartphones and may also be burdened by ASUS' track record when it comes to Android updates. ASUS seems to be turning over a new leaf when it started the beta program for the ZenFone 6 last week. And exactly as many hoped, the ROG Phone 2's turn has come.

ASUS is not a name that would immediately pop up in conversations about smartphones but it has two killer phones this year. The rather eccentric ZenFone 6 puts a new spin, or flip rather, to the popup camera design problem while the ASUS ROG Phone II definitely puts the game in gaming smartphones. But while ASUS has made impressive hardware this year, it has yet to prove it can pull off something similar with software. It may be trying to do exactly that with an Android 10 update rolling out to the ZenFone 6 now.
