Remember the tiny gaming tablet that ASUS announced back in CES? Well, the ROG Flow Z13 has finally landed in the Philippines, along with four other new ROG laptop models today. All of ASUS’ new gaming swag comes with Intel’s 12th-gen Core processors, DDR5 memory, as well ultra-fast SSDs for near instantaneous load times. Here’s ASUS’ official ROG launch lineup today:
- ROG Strix SCAR
- ROG Zephyrus M16
- TUF Dash F15
- TUF Gaming F15/17
- All-new ROG Flow Z13
“This new lineup of ASUS ROG 12th Gen laptops gives gamers cutting-edge technology right at their fingertips,” said Dino Strkljevic, Client Lead, Intel Client Computing Group, APJ Territory. “The new Performance cores on our 12th generation processors are the highest performant core we’ve ever made, and the E-cores are designed to handle the heavy multi-tasking and background tasks, so that your game can run at its peak performance or your video render can finish in record time.”
ROG Flow Z13
The ROG flow is basically a tablet and a PC rolled in one. Since PC gaming on the go almost always requires a keyboard (until we get the Steam Deck that is), the tablet is paired with a screen cover that pulls double duty as an RGB keyboard.
You wouldn’t think that the ROG Flow Z13 would pack a punch hardware-wise, but you’d be wrong. At the heart of this sexy beast are a 14-core Intel Core i7-12700H CPU, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 GPU, and 16GB LPDDR5 RAM. As for the display, it’s a 13-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision, Pantone Validation, and Corning Gorilla glass.
The ROG Flow Z13 has a price that starts at Php 84,995 in the Philippines.
ROG Strix SCAR 15/17
The Strix SCAR has everything you could ever want in a gaming laptop. It is powered by an Intel Core i9-12900H CPU paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti GPU. For this year, the model now comes with a QHD 240hz resolution panel with Dolby Vision and Adaptive-Sync. Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res audio support are also made available, as well as the addition of an HDMI 2.1 port for 4k/120hz or 8k displays as well as Thunderbolt 4 for your peripherals.
The ROG Strix SCAR 15/17 have a price that starts at Php 129,995 in the Philippines and will be available starting next month.
ROG Zephyrus M16
The Zephyrus M16 is now one of the first ROG laptops to feature ROG’s brand-new Nebula display. This display offers a 16:10 aspect ratio with 165 Hz refresh rate, QHD resolution, 500 nits of peak brightness, and 3ms response time.
Powering this model is an Intel Core i9-12900H CPU paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti GPU. It also has 32GB of DDR5-4800 RAM and a blazing fast 2TB PCIe 4.0 storage.
The ROG Zephyrus M16 has a price that starts at Php 139,995 in the Philippines and will be available in mid-April.
TUF Gaming Series
TUF F15 and F17 are the models to get if you’re on a budget. The TUF gaming family has been known to provide a gaming experience that doesn’t break the bank. To make them even better, they now come with a 12th Generation Intel Core i7-12700H processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU which have a much higher 140-watt max TGP for a significant jump in performance compared to the previous versions.
Also new are the MUX switch and DDR5 4800MHz RAM which are unprecedented in the segment.
Price starts at PHP 73,995 and will be available in late April.
TUF Dash F15
Even the TUF Dash F15 has been updated for 2022. Still sporting a thin and light design but with a new Intel Core i7-12650H CPU, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU, and a MUX Switch, the new model is truly hard to match at its price point.
It is even more unmatchable if you consider the new QHD 165hz Adaptive-Sync display with 100% DCI-P3, DDR5-4800MHz RAM, and fast PCIE SSD.
Price starts at PHP 64,995 and will be available in early April.
