Professional Video Production

With this ROG Strix's resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels pixels, you'll have sufficient visual clarity to discern which video sequence makes the cut.

Continuously tweaking video clips requires a quite a bit of computing power. Which is why the memory size of 16 GB, the multi-core processor and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics card all combine to provide a level of performance that matches your needs

In addition, this laptop can be used night or day thanks to the built-in back-lit keyboard.

It also comes with the Memory card reader just in case you need an alternative option to move your creative work from one device to another.

Great for photo editing

The Asus powerful Intel Core i7-7xxx processor makes image manipulation a breeze. And the high resolution 1920 x 1080 pixels display ensures your pictures really ‘pop’ when you’re done.

Gaming

Basic games might need more than basic hardware. The ROG Strix is a good choice for casual gamers, offering enough CPU power, RAM and storage to get the job done – hardcore gamers may need something a little meatier though.

It's good for academic research

As a student or researcher in the social or physical sciences, this device provides a good balance of portability (with it's 15.6 inches screen size) and performance so that you're free to roam the labs or libraries with a machine that can competently multi-task your data crunching, "multi-tabbed browsing" and the production of academic content.

All about the Films!

High quality video on your ROG Strix's Advanced resolution display

IPS screen technology makes video content richer and more viewable.

You won't have to struggle to pause or rewind in the dark with its backlit keyboard.

Connecting to a TV or monitor to watch content on a bigger screen will be simple as its HDMI port is the most common connection option available.

Videos for fun

You need to pack a lot into this screen, hence a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels pixels, you'll have sufficient visual clarity to decide which video sequence will give the impact you're looking for.

Continuously tweaking video clips are fun but requires a quite a bit of computing power. Which is why the memory size of 16 GB, the multi-core processor and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics card all combine to provide a level of performance that matches your needs.

In addition, this laptop can be used night or day thanks to the built in back-lit keyboard.

It also comes with the Memory card reader just in case you need an alternative option to move your creative work from once device to another.

Give your Images the professional touch

With plenty of RAM, processing power and a dedicated graphics card, the ROG Strix gives you everything you need to complete high quality photos and graphic design projects.

Music and Audio

Developing your own tunes and mixes is important to you, so we've recommended a laptop that has got an advanced audio system on-board with HD sound capabilities.

The presence of a 4 cores core process will help speed up music format conversions or codec-based compression.

Its all about the Beats

When you need crystal clear audio and plenty of grunt for processing and encoding, the ROG Strix can handle everything you throw at it. A selection of ports allow you to connect instruments and devices, while the 2.8 GHz takes care of the actual production work.

Book keeping

The 15.6 inches screen gives you enough screen-space to wade through columns and rows

Excel, Quicken etc, don't need much power so this option won't up the requirements on processor. 

Your Asus 's 16 GB RAM will ensure large sheets and accounts wont undermine performance

The numeric keypad keyboard really takes the strain out when entering data.

Can handle UI Dev & Design work

With a 8919 CPU and 16 GB of RAM, the ROG Strix is ideal for front-end development. Whether you’re coding basic HTML5, or working with more complex JavaScript frameworks, this laptop has everything you need.

Can handle a Full-Stack Coding Environment

Emulating a full-blown virtual server environment requires plenty of grunt. The ROG Strix uses a Intel Core i7-7700HQ CPU and 16 GB RAM to power multiple VMs and your dev tools simultaneously.

Regular Stuff / Everyday Tasks

Modern productivity apps like Office 365 and Google G Suite are relatively lightweight – but it never hurts to have some power under the hood. The ROG Strix packs a decent Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor and 16 GB RAM so this is machine that will last.

Surf comfortably as all components of your Asus will easily handle the web

Sending and receiving email is a relatively lightweight activity that the ROG Strix can comfortably handle. It also comes with 1000 GB of total storage so you never have to delete a message or attachment again.

Social networking is relatively lightweight, so the low power 2.8 GHz processor is ideal. With 4 hours battery life, you can stay connected between charges.

Battery life is fairly decent

With its 4 hours battery life, the ROG Strix offers a good amount of freedom while moving from place to place around the house.

The 4 hours battery life in the ROG Strix is sufficient for short sessions of use in coffee shops, parks etc.

The ROG Strix allows you to stay productive even when you need to pop out for a few hours thanks to its portability and 4 hours battery life.

If you work in a hot desk environment, portability will be key. The ROG Strix comes with 4 hours battery life so you can move around the office as much as you need.

Suits your occasional mobility

Not the smallest laptop, but this is a good choice for when you don't want a full-size PC. The ROG Strix works just as well on your lap or a desk.

Great to use on the go!

Because this has got a weight measuring in at 2.5 kg, it'll help you stay light and nimble. 

Working in the dark

This laptop can be used night or day thanks to the built in back-lit keyboard.

Presentations

When delivering presentations, you need to be sure you can connect to the meeting room projector or screen. The 1 offers several different display ports to make sure everyone can see your slideshow.

Numeric Key Pad

The quality of keyboard is crucial to data entry, so the ROG Strix includes a numeric keypad to make your life easier.

Package that suits a Gamer

It oozes style while offering a combo of form and function that suits the needs of a serious gamer.
