This is accompanied by ROG’s design philosophy for intelligent cooling that includes a chassis that is thoughtfully designed to accommodate effective fans and heat sinks. Special liquid crystal polymer (LCP) fans are used with super-slim n-blades and anti-dust technology, come together to increase cooling air that flows through heatsinks with ultrathin fins that maximize airflow and surface area alike, ensuring the best heat dissipation. Based on 12v fans, 83 blades, 3D thermal features and a unique trapezoid cut, the laptop delivers an exceptional cooling mechanism which is also 4% quieter.
Unrivaled excellence on board:
The keyboard on the latest ROG lineup is ideal for marathon gaming or everyday typing. The desktop-style keyboard layout with identifiable gaps between function keys, isolated arrow keys, and an extended space bar make for precision on your fingertips and fewer misses amid a time-sensitive showdown. ROG Overstroke technology makes key presses fire faster, as the keys actuate earlier for a quicker response, and anti-ghosting technology ensures that all key presses register precisely, even when multiple keys are pressed at once.
Taking the keyboard convenience and style one step further, the ROG lineup comes with 4 isolated hot keys, N-key rollover, and highlighted WASD keys. With 2.0 mm travel distance, 20 million key-press lifetime, 0.25 mm keycap curve and AURA Sync which lets you sync and customize light effects with gaming-mice, headset and other peripherals.
