The Mothership from ASUS is set to land soon
ASUS have finally put some details out on their MOthership computer, that can be a desktop or a laptop, with a detachable keyboard and some serious power.
The Mothership stands out, litterally, unlike anything you have seen as it has an upright chassis that allows it to be packed with more tech, including its advanced cooling system. The keyboard detaches, giving you infinite ways to use the device and you can keep it in action by using a bluetooth connection, or via a USB cable.
Packed inside users will find an ultrafast and ultra-detailed NVIDIA G-SYNC display powered by the latest NVIDIA GeForce RTXTM GPUs, and also houses an eight-core Intel Core i9 processor coated with liquid metal thermal compound.
The main body pieces are machined from solid slabs of aluminum using a precise CNC milling process that ensures a perfect fit. The process steps through 114 individual tooling stages and takes nearly 20 hours to carve every little detail. Most of the keyboard housing is machined aluminum as well, wrapping ROG Mothership in a protective metal jacket that’s strong enough to survive everyday knocks and bumps. Each piece is brushed and anodized for a flawless finish that's guaranteed to turn heads.
Of course specs are what will help sell you on it, so here they are:
