![[CES 2023] ASUS ROG Unveils Line of Maxed-Out Laptops at CES 2023](https://cdn.gamerbraves.com/2023/01/asus-ces.jpg)
The annual CES tech event will be happening and ASUS Replubic of Gamers (ROG) are unveiling a line of maxed-out laptops for CES 2023.
These arsenal of laptops will have new CPUs, GPUs from AMD, Intel and NVIDIA, along with improvements to the Intelligent Cooling Technology.
Brand New CPUs and GPUs with Maxed Horsepower
ROG will be starting off 2023 by introducing brand new 13th Gen processors from Intel that features a mix of Performance and Efficient-cores, new AMD Ryzen Zen 4 processors increase core counts to new heights.
As well as the GeForce RTX 40 Series Laptop GPUs from NVIDIA provides rasterization performance and additional features such as DLSS 3 and AV1 encoding.
Improved Nebula Displays and Intelligent Cooling Grace
ROG will be bringing Nebula Displays to even more models, and in more models. In addition, ROG has refined its Intelligent Cooling technology, a complete solution that balances cooling performance with acoustics.
Two key innovations to more laptops were brought over in 2023 by ROG: a larger full-width heatsink and Tri-Fan Technology, both introduced last year on the Flow X16. The heatsink has been added to this year’s redesigned Zephyrus M16, while the Strix 16-inch and 18-inch models have an extra-thick variant of the design.
Whereas with the Tri-Fan Technology, a third fan has been added into the thermal design, providing key airflow to internal components, which helps the GPU to expel waste heat more efficiently.
