ASUS Republic of Gamers has unveiled an ambitious lineup of gaming hardware at CES 2025, showcasing innovations across ROG laptops, desktops, and external GPUs that promise to redefine gaming performance.
ASUS consistently delivers a strong showcase at the Consumer Electronics Show and CES 2025 is no exception with a range of devices highlighting the latest advancements in computing technology.
ASUS ROG Laptops at CES 2025
First on the list is the 2025 ROG Strix SCAR series, available in 16-inch and 18-inch variants. These powerful laptops feature the latest Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 275HX with up to 24 cores and 32 threads, paired with NVIDIA’s next-generation laptop GPUs capable of delivering 175W TGP.
The SCAR series boasts a stunning Nebula HDR Display with 2.5K resolution, over 2,000 dimming zones, and a 240Hz refresh rate. Canadian gamers can expect the Strix SCAR 18 to start at $3,999, while the SCAR 16 will begin at $3,799 when they launch in March 2025.
Stepping down from the highly powerful ROG Strix SCAR series, the ROG Strix G series offers a more accessible yet capable option. Available in G16 and G18 models, these laptops combine Intel Core Ultra 9 processors with next-gen NVIDIA graphics. The series features the same impressive Nebula Display technology as its SCAR siblings, with prices starting at $3,299 for the G16 and $3,499 for the G18.
For users seeking ultimate portability, the Zephyrus lineup returns, refined for 2025, offering compelling options for those who don’t want to sacrifice portability for performance. The G14 and G16 models feature CNC-milled aluminum chassis and weigh just 1.5 kg and 1.85 kg, respectively. The G14, launching in April 2025 at $3,699, will feature AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, while the G16, starting at $4,299, will include Intel’s Core Ultra 9 processor 285H.
ASUS ROG Tablets & Desktops at CES 2025
If the conventional laptop form factor doesn’t appeal to you, the 2025 Flow Z13—a gaming tablet with impressive power—might be just the solution. Powered by AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with Radeon 8060 S graphics, this 2-in-1 device features a 2.5K Nebula touchscreen with a 180Hz refresh rate. The Flow Z13 will be available in February 2025, starting at $2,999.
For those who want to push their laptop’s performance even further, the new ROG XG Mobile external GPU is an outstanding option. This compact powerhouse features Thunderbolt 5 connectivity and next-gen NVIDIA graphics, offering desktop-class performance in a much smaller package. The XG Mobile will be available in two configurations, starting at $1,499.
Desktop ASUS fans haven’t been left out, with the ROG G700 series towers featuring either the Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 285K or AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processors. These systems support up to 64GB of DDR5 RAM and offer tool-less access for easy upgrades. Canadian customers can purchase the G700 starting at $3,199 when it launches in March 2025.
