ASUS Announces Two Separate Online Launch Events On CES 2024
ASUS Announces Two Separate Online Launch Events On CES 2024
Taiwanese PC maker ASUS has announced two upcoming keynotes for laptop launches β as usual, itβll split into the standard consumer portfolio launch and the gaming-centric ROG βFor Those Who Dareβ event that showcases latest gaming hardware.
The ROG event, officially titled For Those Who Dare: Transcendence is set to be a virtual launch event taking place on the CES 2024 itself. The event is set for January 8, 2024 at 15:00 PT (Jan 9, 2024 at 07:00 MYT) on the ROG CES microsite. In the press release, the company has confirmed that new models, such as ROG Phone 8 and Zephyrus laptops will be revealed through this launch, alongside the usual dose of gaming peripherals.
It looks like the backside connector motherboards could also make an appearance here, going by the wording. ASUS says: βROG is also going to unveil a new approach to component design, with innovative powerful and stylish new desktop PCs that will revolutionize the image of open-architecture products.β We imagine the so-called βopen-architecture productsβ most likely point to desktop PCs, and given that backside connectors have begun to gain traction in the PC market, perhaps this is where itβll officially take off.
On the other side, you have the consumer-centric In Search of Incredible: Transcendence which focuses on sustainability and AI (obviously). The span of this event will be quite a lot wider, as the company will reveal new products in consumer, creator, business, desktop, networking, display, mini-PC (including the recently acquired NUCs from Intel) segments, and more. The keynote will begin on the day after ROGβs, on Jan 9, 2024 at 09:00 PT (Jan 10, 2024 at 01:00 MYT).
Hereβs a reminder that weβre officially counting down the final 10 days of 2023, which means the CES 2024 is happening very soon. Expect Intelβs Core Ultra processors powering these new laptops β though donβt rule out AMDβs Ryzen 8040 series just yet.
