The technology event in Taiwan served as a platform for the Taiwanese firm to make it clear that it has no intention of slowing down. ASUS took advantage of its presence at the event to make a bold statement, presenting a catalog that goes far beyond simple annual updates, focusing particularly on how artificial intelligence and OLED panels will change the way we interact with technology both at home and in the office.
They haven't held back, as the variety of devices presented covers virtually every imaginable need. From monitors that look like they're straight out of a science fiction movie to laptops that use aerospace-grade materials, the overall feeling is that the brand wanted to celebrate its history in style, especially with its Republic of Gamers division, which continues to be the darling of high-end hardware enthusiasts.
The gaming lineup: ROG OLED and the highly anticipated Ally X20
In the gaming world, the big news has been the unveiling of new monitors with Tandem OLED technology. Models like the ROG Swift OLED PG32UCWM not only offer stunning image quality, but also include a very clever feature: dual mode, which allows you to switch between 4K at 240Hz for spectacular graphics or down to Full HD and up to 480Hz when pure speed is paramount in competitive games.
But if there's one thing that's really captured everyone's attention, it's the ROG Ally X20. This new version of their handheld console isn't just a facelift; it boasts a stunning 7,4-inch OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and a brightness that reaches 1400 nits. It comes with an AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme processor and 24GB of memory, ensuring that running the most demanding PC games in the palm of your hand is a next-level experience.
For those who prefer a desktop setup, the Crosshair X870E Edition 20 motherboard and the beastly Astral RTX 5090 graphics card have proven that ASUS isn't afraid of pushing the boundaries of power. This graphics card, capable of handling up to 800W of power consumption , features liquid metal cooling and a small curved screen for monitoring temperatures—a feature that PC building enthusiasts will love for its exclusivity.
We can't forget the TUF Gaming range, which has introduced the VG34WQML5F model. This 34-inch ultrawide monitor with a 1500R curvature aims to offer total immersion without breaking the bank, maintaining a 240Hz refresh rate and motion blur reduction technologies—ideal for those who want a reliable setup for everyday gaming without complications.
Productivity and design with cutting-edge materials
Moving into the professional realm, the Zenbook 14 has surprised everyone with its use of Ceraluminum, a material that blends ceramic and aluminum to create a chassis that's rock-hard yet feather-light. This device, weighing a mere one kilogram, is designed under the Copilot+ PC umbrella, meaning it features dedicated chips for artificial intelligence tasks, such as real-time captions and automatic enhancements for video calls.
On the other hand, the ExpertBook B5 Flip G2 positions itself as the ultimate tool for hybrid work. It's a convertible that you can rotate 360 ​​degrees to use as a tablet or laptop, and it includes a stylus that charges in just fifteen seconds to give you an hour of use. It's a device that can withstand anything thanks to its military-grade durability certification, ideal for going from the office to home without fear of bumps and knocks.
For content creators, the ProArt series has welcomed new additions like the PA32USD, a 4K monitor with QD-OLED technology that's a delight for video or photo editing. It offers professional color fidelity with a Delta E accuracy of less than 1, ensuring that what you see on screen is exactly what will be printed or published—vital when you make a living with images.
There's even room for intriguing solutions like the ZenScreen Duo, which is essentially two portable screens joined by a hinge that you can carry in your backpack. It's amazing how you can set up a 20-inch office in any coffee shop in a matter of seconds, proving that productivity is no longer tied to a fixed desk in a traditional office.
The future of assistance: Robotics with AI
The biggest surprise of the trade show was the brand's serious foray into service robotics. ASUS Kairo and the new companion robot are not mere toys, but devices designed to assist the elderly or serve as guides in complex environments such as hospitals or shopping malls. Thanks to the Maestro platform, these robots can understand intentions and act autonomously to lend a hand in daily life.
These robots are capable of remembering important user events or even translating conversations on the fly. The idea is for AI to move beyond simply existing on a screen and become a physical assistant capable of moving objects or accompanying someone who needs guidance, marking a very exciting path for the coming years in the technology sector.
Finally, videoconferencing monitors like the BE34WCGNK complete this comprehensive overhaul. With integrated 5-megapixel cameras and dedicated buttons for meeting applications, it's clear the company has perfectly understood current needs, where the versatility of peripherals is key to surviving long days in front of the screen. This entire hardware ecosystem demonstrates that the manufacturer is currently enjoying a period of success, combining raw power with practical solutions that make life a little easier for everyone.
