The gaming division of ASUS, Republic of Gamersannounced the launch of the GX700, a high performance gamer 'portable'. This equipment was designed to move games 4K No problem. This laptop was left in only the design, since it was presented with a hybrid cooling system that was in the rear of large dimensions (and quite ugly). During the Computex This summer saw an update to the GX700 cooling with the introduction of Project Avalon. Now is when the new version called ASUS ROG GX800.
This new version of 'portable' GX800 will have as processor use the Skylake i7 6820HK. This Intel processor has four cores and eight threads of HyperThreading with a 45W TDP that has a base working frequency of 2.7GHz and a frequency of 3.6GHz in Boost mode. The bump is the ASUS Hydro Overclocking System, which is a hybrid liquid and water cooling system that raises the processor frequency to 4.2GHz. Logically this laptop has DDR4 RAM memories with a working frequency of 2800MHz.
Regarding the graphic section, the ASUS RoG GX800 will have the NVIDIA GTX 1080, capable of moving 4K or virtual reality without major problems. This GPU is factory overclocked by ASUS, reaching its working frequency at 1961MHz and GDDR5 memory It will work at 5200MHz.

This equipment is not wasted, since it has been equipped with an 18 UHD screen with a maximum resolution of 3840 × 2160 pixels and with a panel 100% AdobeRGB and that also has the G-Sync technology. The keyboard is the MechTAG with mechanical switches, with a 2.5mm key travel and that it is 100% anti-ghosting) and use technology AURARGB for the backlight effects of each of the keys. We add to all this three hard drives M.2 NVMe SSD in RAID0 configuration.
Relax, there is more. It has a port Thunderbolt 3.0, Wi-Fi 802.11ac with an external antenna and high-end headphones ESS Saber DAC with amplifier included. ASUS also includes in the pack a rolling suitcase for the laptop and a backpack so that we can carry the liquid cooling and the twin 330W voltage adapters. This desktop laptop has a weight of 5.7Kg by itself and in addition, the liquid cooling weighs 4.7Kg, adding a total of 10.4Kg all together, almost the same as a desktop computer.
ASUS has not communicated a release date or price for the ASUS RoG GX800, but for what it is and what it carries, less than € 6000 is difficult to cost. ASUS has also said that in June they will give more data on this laptop or what is the same, we will see it at Computex and it will be released on the market. The truth is that for a laptop it is a heavy monster and almost as uncomfortable to transport as a gaming tower.
