ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) recently announced the local availability of the much-awaited ROG Chimera G703—which the brand calls “the gaming beast” with the world’s first ultra-responsive 144Hz laptop display, overclocked performance, and now powered by the latest 8th-generation Core i9 processor.
The new ROG Chimera G703 features the same most-loved bio-armor design with quad-vents as originally launched in 2017 but now feature more cores and more compute power. The G703 can be configured with up to an Intel Core i9-8950HK processor, 64GB of RAM, 2TB of HDD coupled with 512GB of PCIEx4 NVME SSD, and a discrete NVIDIA Geforce GTX1080 with 8GB DDR5X RAM.
The ROG G703 truly embodies our endless strive for breaking limits and defying convention. By shifting design paradigms and employing a unique liquid crystal mix, ROG is the first gaming brand to introduce an ultra-responsive 17.3-inch Full HD IPS-level display with a 144Hz refresh rate to its laptops and paired with a 100 percent sRGB IPS Panel and G-sync. On the keyboard side, each individually backlit key now features ASUS RGB Aura Sync so you can sync it with other products from the company which are compatible with the Aura SDK.
Moreover, the ROG G703 include a new 12V fan for higher fan speed and 45 percent better airflow, matched with thicker fins for better air flow resistance. The ROG G703 is fearsomely powerful—and made for the sole purpose of pushing performance limits. Its overclocking capabilities allow you to play AAA games at maxed-out settings, as the rugged Bio-Armor-inspired chassis houses an efficient cooling setup that’s able to increase system lifespan and provide stability during graphically-intensive gaming sessions.
