A laptop that is 51mm thick, making it almost a little portable brick. It also needs two external power supplies of 280W each, thus adding 560W of consumption. These two transformers add up to two kilos, so we will have to carry another six kilos with us.
To cool the processor and graphics, four copper heatpipes are used that go to two radiators and a high-power fan. This works at 12V instead of the 5V of conventional laptops. It allows the fan to offer 41% more airflow and 92% more static pressure.
There is no data on when this laptop will hit the market officially. Nor do we know how much the ASUS RoG Chimera G703GX will cost, taking into account the benefits, more than 5.000 euros almost certainly.
