With students set to head back to school, a lot of people (including non-students) are set to get a new laptop. ASUS has their 2023 Cool for School campaign for its ROG line of laptops–and this time, they are offering great deals for select models. If you’re having a hard time to decide which of the bundles offer the best value for money, we pick three ROG models that we think might suit you–especially with the items that are bundled with them for the 2023 Cool for School campaign.
ROG Flow Z13
ASUS is known to push the limit, and that’s what they pulled off with the ROG Flow Z13, which is a very unique gaming tablet that packs a dedicated GPU inside a tablet-like chassis. This cool tablet packs a 120hz WQXGA touchscreen display and support for external GPU via XG Mobile to push the ROG Flow Z13’s gaming performance up to another level.
Being a tablet, the ROG Flow Z13 has a built-in kickstand, along with a cyberpunk-inspired design that makes it stand out among the other 2-in-1 tablets in the market. Its detachable folio keyboard is cool, as it also boasts RGB lighting as well. Even with a weight of just 1.1kg and a thickness of 12mm thin, the ROG Flow Z13 is one of the most powerful tablets out there, with configuration options that include up to a 12th Gen Core i7 processor and RTX 3050 GPU with MUX Switch.
Those who will get the Flow Z13 with an RTX 3050 and a Core i7-12700H processor will get Php 10k worth of freebies that include a cozy ROG Hoodie and a Strix Arion 500GB portable SSD–which is a perfect bundle for storing your other files and games on the go.
ROG Zephyrus G14
The Zephyrus G14 series has been ROG’s mainstream gaming laptop for several years, and the 2023 version adds a Mini LED option that offers a brighter display that has more vibrant colors and deeper blacks compared to the IPS panels that are used in most Zephyrus G14 variants. ASUS also went all in with the 2023 Zephyrus G14’s Mini LED panel, as it features a fast 165hz refresh rate to let you enjoy AAA titles with high FPS rates. The Mini LED version of the 2023 Zephyrus G14 is also stacked with 32GB DDR5 RAM and 1TB PCIe 4.0 storage–the latest components to give you top-notch performance.
Aside from the usual Eclipse Grey color, the 2023 Zephyrus G14 is also offered in Moonlight White as well, making it look stylish and elegant as a gaming laptop with its matte, pearl finish.
Those who will get the Mini LED version of the Zephyrus G14–which comes with a Ryzen 9-7940HS processor and RTX 4070 GPU–will get almost Php 17k worth of freebies that include a cozy ROG Hoodie and a ROG Claymore II Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with RX Blue switches. The latter is a great bundle especially if you are a big fan of mechanical keyboards and want to level up your home gaming setup with the Zephyrus G14.
ROG Strix Scar 18
If you want the ultimate gaming laptop–and don’t mind paying the price of a car downpayment–the Strix Scar 18 is the absolute ultimate option you can get. You get one of the biggest displays in a laptop with its 18-inch IPS display with an insane 240hz refresh rate and 3ms response time that makes it one of the fastest laptop displays in the market as well. The Scar 18 is also the first 18-inch ROG laptop to use ROG’s Nebula Display, giving you top-notch display quality with 100%DCI-P3 coverage, 500nits brightness, and a 1200:1 contrast ratio.
This monster of a gaming laptop has the widest customization option for RGB lighting, along with being packed to the brim with the most powerful internals one can ask for–on top of 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSD and 32GB DDR5 RAM.
On top of its insane price tag (close to Php 300k!) that gets you the absolute best configuration on a gaming laptop–specifically a Core i9-13980HX processor and an RTX 4090 GPU–those planning to buy the Strix Scar 18 will get the best bundle from ROG’s 2023 Cool for School Promo: a ROG Phone 6 in the 12GB/256GB variant so that you can enjoy your favorite mobile games like Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail at the highest possible settings with a flawless performance.
Aside from the compelling bundles these ROG laptops have, they also come with a 2-year ASUS International Warranty with Platinum Protection Warranty for the first year to give you peace of mind for your gaming laptop. On top of that, users can also extend their warranty coverage with ASUS Premium Care and feel secure with ASUS’ 9-step exclusive preventive maintenance program.
