Intel Core-i7 6820HK chip, DDR4 RAM (max at 64GB), and discrete Nvidia GTX 980 graphics card–only possible with a dedicated liquid-cooling system. But according to Asus, the laptop itself could still handle a few level of heat dissipation while overclocked.
- CPU overclocking up to 48% performance increase
- GPU up to 43%
- RAM up to 31%
Anyone could enjoy high fps game experience too with the 4K UHD native resolution on the matt 17″ IPS LCD display. The keyboard is backlit with 30-key rollover feature.
The Asus ROG GX700VO is not for the faint-hearted. It’s for the elite and pro gamers that can afford its official SRP at P249,995 pesos including the liquid-cooling unit and travelling case. The number of units is limited to 20 only.
