ROG marks 20 years with dual-screen laptops & AR gear

ASUS Republic of Gamers is marking its 20th anniversary at CES 2026 with a broad refresh of its gaming portfolio, including what it describes as the world's first dual 16-inch screen gaming laptop, a holographic desktop system and new augmented reality gaming glasses.

The gaming brand, created by ASUS in 2006, is using the Las Vegas technology show to showcase laptops, desktops, motherboards, cooling systems, displays, peripherals and audio products aimed at both competitive players and content creators.

ROG is also highlighting collaborations with Japanese game studio Kojima Productions and AR specialist XREAL as it links gaming hardware with entertainment and design-led partnerships.

Dual-screen laptop

The headline product is the Zephyrus Duo GX651, a dual-screen gaming laptop with two 3K OLED touch panels. Both panels run at 120Hz with a claimed 0.2ms response time. The main display supports Nvidia G-Sync.

The system uses the latest Intel mobile processor and up to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU. ROG said the machine supports five operating modes and uses a cooling system that combines a vapour chamber, dual fans and a graphite sheet.

ROG is also refreshing its Zephyrus G14 and G16 thin-and-light laptops. These models add Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors with up to 50 trillion operations per second of NPU performance for local AI tasks. Select configurations of the 14-inch model use a next-generation AMD Ryzen AI processor.

The Zephyrus G14 supports up to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU, while the G16 can be configured up to a GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU based on Nvidia's Blackwell architecture. ROG has raised maximum GPU power budgets in manual mode compared with the previous generation.

Both laptops adopt a new 1100-nit Nebula HDR display. ROG said the panels provide 100% DCI-P3 colour coverage and Delta E < 1 colour accuracy. The G14 adds a CNC-milled aluminium chassis, redesigned lighting on the lid and a glass-mirror finish.

Holographic desktop

The new ROG G1000 desktop introduces AniMe Holo, which the company describes as the first holographic fan system in a prebuilt gaming PC. The fan module sits in an independent chamber with a hinged door design that separates its airflow from the main components.

ROG said the desktop supports a range of GPUs, including ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 cards, ROG Strix GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and AMD Radeon 9070XT. There is support for up to 128GB of DDR5 memory and up to a 4TB PCIe 4.0 SSD.

The chassis is a 104-litre ATX ultra tower with space for large cooling hardware. CPU cooling relies on a 420mm all-in-one liquid cooler with three fans and separate airflow paths for critical components.

Motherboards and cooling

ROG is expanding its motherboard line-up around AMD's next desktop platform. The flagship ROG Crosshair X870E Glacial board has 24+2+2 power stages, seven M.2 slots and extensive USB connectivity, including dual USB4 ports and 10Gbps USB ports.

The board includes a 5-inch LCD for system monitoring and features such as PCIe Slot Q-Release and an AIO Q-Connector aimed at simplifying assembly. It has received a CES 2026 Innovation award in the Computer Hardware & Components category.

The ROG Crosshair X870E Dark Hero targets users who want a more understated aesthetic. It offers two PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots, three PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, WiFi 7 and dual USB4 ports.

Below the Crosshair range, the ROG Strix Neo series spans high-end and mainstream AMD builds, with X870E and B850 chipsets and WiFi 7 connectivity.

On the cooling side, ROG is introducing the Strix SLC/LC IV all-in-one coolers with an integrated triple-fan design and Aura Fan Edge lighting. The units use an AIO Q-Connector that passes pump, fan and ARGB signals through a row of metal contacts, which reduces visible cabling.

The new ROG Ryuo IV 360 ARGB cooler features a 6.67-inch curved AMOLED display on the pump housing. The display can show system information or custom visuals. Cooling is handled by an Asetek Emma Gen 8 V2 pump and pre-mounted daisy-chained ARGB fans.

OLED displays and AR

ROG is extending its OLED monitor portfolio with the Swift OLED PG27UCWM and PG34WCDN. The company said it currently holds the top position globally for OLED gaming monitors.

The Swift OLED PG27UCWM uses a 26.5-inch 4K Tandem RGB OLED panel that supports dual-mode operation at 4K 240Hz or Full HD 480Hz. It employs an RGB stripe pixel structure and removes the white subpixel used in standard WOLED panels.

ROG said the change increases colour volume by up to 27% at high luminance and delivers sharper text. The display covers 99% of the DCI-P3 gamut, supports 10-bit colour and Dolby Vision, and integrates DisplayPort 2.1a UHBR20, HDMI 2.1 and USB-C with 90W power delivery.

The 34-inch Swift OLED PG34WCDN uses a curved WQHD QD-OLED panel at 360Hz with a 0.03ms response time. It includes ROG BlackShield film, which the company said improves scratch resistance by 2.5 times versus prior QD-OLED panels and enhances perceived black levels by up to 40%.

Both monitors form part of a wider ROG OLED range that offers OLED Care Pro features and AI-based gaming image adjustments such as Dynamic Shadow Boost and Dynamic Crosshair.

In spatial computing, ROG has partnered with XREAL on the ROG XREAL R1 Gaming Glasses. The glasses incorporate what the companies describe as the world's first 240Hz micro-OLED Full HD AR display in a gaming-focused headset, and connect via a dedicated ROG Control Dock.

The glasses render a 1920 x 1080 image at 240Hz with motion-to-photon latency of 3ms. ROG said users can view a virtual 171-inch screen at 4 metres with up to a 57-degree field of view.

The R1 handles rendering and tracking on-device and offers a native three degrees-of-freedom anchor mode that fixes screen alignment relative to the viewer. Electrochromic lenses adjust transparency according to ambient light, while audio has been tuned by Bose.

Design collaborations

ROG is extending its longstanding relationship with game creators through a new partnership with Kojima Productions. The tie-up centres on the ROG Flow Z13-KJP 2-in-1 device and a set of matching peripherals.

The Flow Z13-KJP runs on an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor with Radeon 8060S graphics and a 50 TOPS NPU. It has a 13.4-inch 2.5K Nebula HDR touchscreen at 180Hz. The chassis design draws on Kojima Productions' Ludens mascot, with artwork by Yoji Shinkawa.

The bundle includes a ROG Delta II-KJP headset with titanium-plated 50mm drivers and a 10mm boom microphone. A ROG Keris II Origin-KJP mouse and ROG Scabbard II XXL-KJP mouse pad carry matching visual themes.

The partnership with Kojima Productions sits alongside wider ROG efforts in music, fashion and art as the brand pursues a larger cultural role around PC and console gaming.

Audio, peripherals and cases

ROG is adding a range of audio products and input devices. The ROG Kithara planar magnetic gaming headset has 100mm drivers developed with audio firm HIFIMAN, an open-back design and a full-band MEMS boom microphone. It ships with a 3-in-1 cable that supports 4.4mm balanced, 3.5mm and 6.3mm connections, plus a USB-C adapter.

The ROG Cetra Open Wireless earbuds offer an open-ear fit with 14.2mm diamond-like carbon-coated drivers. They support Bluetooth and 2.4GHz ROG SpeedNova wireless, as well as USB-C passthrough charging. Audio modes such as Phantom Bass and Immersion Mode target different listening scenarios.

The ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE keyboard adopts a 75% layout with hot-swappable ROG HFX V2 and V2X magnetic switches. Users can adjust actuation points between 0.1mm and 3.5mm with 0.01mm increments. The board supports an 8000Hz polling rate and includes a touch panel for media controls.

For PC builders, the new ROG Cronox full-tower case introduces a curved tempered-glass panel, brushed aluminium frame and a rotatable side fan bracket. The case supports up to 14 120mm fans, dual 360mm radiators and graphics cards up to 400mm, and integrates a 9.2-inch 60Hz LCD module for system information or custom content.

ROG is also launching Eurux GR120 ARGB fans built with liquid-crystal polymer blades. They run at up to 2600rpm with 4.6mmH₂O static pressure and 91cfm airflow. Daisy-chain connectors and a bundled controller for up to 14 fans aim to simplify installation and centralise fan and lighting control.

ROG said it will continue to expand its gaming ecosystem as it enters its third decade, with further systems, displays and accessories expected over the coming product cycle.
