ASUS Republic of Gamers reinforces its lead

ASUS ROG has 53% of the Philippine gaming segment, cementing its status as the No. 1 gaming brand in the country, now reinforces that claim with the world’s slimmest gaming laptop

MANILA, Philippines, October 16, 2018, — ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced the pricing and availability of the ROG Zephyrus S GX531 and ROG Strix GL704 SCAR Edition which set a new milestone for ultrathin and compact gaming laptops.

Launched initially at Gamescom 2018 in Cologne, Germany, the Zephyrus S, displayed alongside ROG Strix GL704 SCAR Edition, cements the gaming brand’s status as the top gaming brand in the country, based on GfK data as of June 2018, as it once again shatters its own record for the world’s thinnest gaming laptop and the world’s most compact 17.3-inch gaming laptop. ASUS ROG laptops took the lead in 2017 in gaming notebook activations, leading up to 50.9% and 53% market share in end user purchases during May and June 2018, respectively, based on data by third-party market research agencies. With a well-rounded ecosystem of gaming products, ASUS ROG is poised to gear up its presence in 2018 to further cement its reputation in the Philippine gaming industry. ASUS ROG is also on pace to become the undisputed leader in gaming shipments for 5 years in a row when 2018 closes.

“We at ASUS Republic of Gamers pride ourselves with being the World’s Undisputed No. 1 Gaming Brand, and this is a goal that we continually strive to emulate in the Philippines. These market results validate the hard work and commitment that we put in to meet the needs of the ever-changing Philippine gaming landscape,” says George Su, Country Manager, ASUS Philippines System Business Group. “The grand arrival of the ROG Zephyrus S and the ROG Strix GL704 SCAR is a testament of our endless dedication to empowering all the ROG fans and enthusiasts by providing them the most innovative gaming products that unleash the best gaming experiences possible.”

ROG Zephyrus S GX531 – UltraSlim Powerhouse

At a mere 14.95mm~15.75mm at its thickest point, the Zephyrus S shaves off 12% of the z-height of its original Zephyrus (GX501) predecessor. However, it packs performance within its ultra-slim profile with the latest Intel® Core™ i7-8750H CPU and an NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1060 graphics, making it ideal for work or play. Super-narrow bezels squeeze a 15.6-inch display, with a 144Hz refresh rate and 3ms response time, into a 14.2-inch chassis. The all-metal chassis is strong enough to meet military-grade durability standards without compromising on design, with sleek lines and a premium finish. An advanced cooling system ensures optimal performance of all components, incorporating the proprietary Active Aerodynamic System (AAS) — a design and engineering hallmark of the Zephyrus series.

ROG Strix GL704 SCAR Edition – Unbounded Precision

Strix GL704 SCAR puts an industry-leading 17.3-inch display — with a 144Hz refresh rate, 3ms response time, and complete sRGB coverage — into a 15.7-inch chassis, delivering immersive visuals while allowing for greater mobility. Strix GL704 SCAR is equipped with powerful components and innovative features including the latest 8th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-8750H and an NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1060 GPU with 6GB of video RAM. Strix GL704 SCAR also includes ROG RangeBoost technology, which intelligently utilizes additional antennas to extend Wi-Fi range. The HyperCool Pro cooling system incorporates three heatsinks and two fans, ensuring optimal system performance. The durable camouflage and Kevlar textures adorning the chassis take their design inspiration from first person shooter (FPS) games.
