Flow X13 can be paired with XG Mobile, an external GPU with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 graphics. When connected, XG Mobile gives Flow X13 a graphical prowess that’s equivalent to full-sized gaming rigs. A proprietary eGPU connector dedicates 63Gbps of bandwidth exclusively to graphics, resulting in significantly higher performance than Thunderbolt™ eGPUs. The graphical performance boost from XG Mobile gives Flow X13 the versatility to handle content creation, AAA gaming and work on the go, as well as hardcore gaming at home.
ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 SE
The Zephyrus Duo 15 SE features the innovative ROG ScreenPad Plus to give gamers the advantage of a secondary screen for more usable onscreen space for gaming and productive tasks. ScreenPad Plus raises a few degrees when the laptop display is opened to give the user a comfortable viewing angle.
The ultraslim Zephyrus Duo 15 SE is powered by up to an AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX mobile processor CPU and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 graphics. It comes with either a 120Hz 4K display with 100 percent Adobe RGB color space coverage or a 300 Hz FHD display with a 3 ms response time and 100 percent sRGB color space coverage. Both panels are PANTONE Validated and feature thin-bezel designsand Adaptive-Sync technology.
Gamers can use the ScreenPad Plus secondary panel to browse the web, read emails, chat over instant messaging apps, or to stream or record game play. ROG worked with developers for additional interactive content on the secondary display, as well as partnered with XSplit Gamecaster to allow gamers to monitor their streams while gaming on the main display. In addition, ROG worked with Adobe for additional content creation tools for some of its creative software.
The built-in Two-Way AI Noise-Cancelation feature offers clear communication, while the upgraded speakers provide crisp and rich audio. The inclusion of Dolby Atmos brings entertainment to life, giving users exceptional audio quality when listening to music, as well as providing three-dimensional precision audio to allow users to pinpoint the source of in-game sounds

Designed as the ultimate portable esports machine, SCAR 17 offers superfast visuals on the world’s fastest laptop display, a 360 Hz FHD panel with a 3 ms response time. An optional 165 Hz WQHD panel combines fluidity with higher detail and a DCI-P3 color gamut.

A refined cooling system extracts peak performance from SCAR 17 while lowering noise levels by 3 dB compared to the last generation. Refinements include the use of a liquid-metal thermal compound on the AMD CPU, new Arc Flow fans with special blade tips that reduce turbulence with an aerodynamic wave pattern and a more efficient self-cleaning cooling system.
