Asus launches ROG GX800 liquid-cooled gaming laptop for INR 797,000 ($12,250)

05 April 2017 4

Following up last year's GX700, Asus has launched the new liquid-cooled ROG GX800 gaming laptop with better specs and almost twice the price of last year's laptop. The GX800 is available only on-demand (so no mass production), and can be yours for INR 797,000 or around $12,250.

The GX800 is no ordinary laptop. It is for the most serious gamers out there, who absolutely have to have the best specs irrespective of size, weight, mobility, or even the price. Especially the price. Here's a summary of the laptop's specs - which are sure to get some people swooning over them.

  • Quad-core 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7-7820HK (overclockable up to 4.4 GHz)
  • Two Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 GPUs
  • 64 GB RAM
  • Three 512 GB PCIe SSDs
  • 18.4 inch 4K LED screen
  • Mechanical keyboard with RGB LEDs for each key
  • 4 speakers + mic. ESS Sabre DAC for headphones
  • Thunderbolt 3.0 + 10 Gbps USB 3.1 ports
  • 3 USB 3.0 ports
  • Gigabit Ethernet
  • HDMI + Mini-DisplayPort video outputs
  • 74Wh battery - powered by two 330W power bricks for maximum performance
  • 5.7 kg weight

What sets the GX800 apart from competitors like the Predator 21X, is its Hydro Overclocking dock. It contains a pair of liquid cooling radiators, can be used to pump coolant into the laptop when connected (much like the coolant in your car that keeps the engine cool). This mechanism allows the laptop to be overclocked and run at maximum capacity safely.

Only a few laptops will be sold in India, which is no surprise because it is the highest-priced laptop in the market to date, even more expensive than Acer's gigantic Predator 21X gaming laptop with similar features (minus the liquid-cooling dock).
