Last week Asus took to Sydney to debut the all new GX700 gaming laptop and is set to arrive in stores here mid-March.

The machine comes packed with the latest Intel mobile cpu, Skylake as well as a Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 and if that were not enough for you, the entire unit is the worlds first liquid cooled gaming laptop.


The exclusive ROG Hydro Overclocking System gives ROG GX700 superior overclocking performance for unrivaled gaming power. It uses a pump to circulate coolant around heat-generating components inside GX700. The liquid coolant then heads back into the cooling module where two radiators help to dissipate heat. The ROG-patented connection between the cooling module and GX700 ensures the liquid coolant flows smoothly between the two without leaking.
