The new Zephyrus G14 Alan Walker edition, is music to everyone's ears
ASUS have announced that their ROG Zephyrus G14 is getting an upgrade, partnering with DJ Alan Walker, to make a laptop that is uniquely themed.
The Zephyrus G14 AW SE blends best-in-class portability with the potent performance of an 8-core, 16-thread AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS CPU and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti GPU. For Walker — or those who aspire to follow in his footsteps — it’s the ultimate tool for gamers and creators on the go who want to be able to switch gears at the drop of a beat.
Never satisfied with merely nudging the envelope, ROG has packed the Zephyrus G14 AW SE with even more premium finishes and personalisation. Designed in collaboration with Walker, this special edition G14 features unique colour accents, like the Spectre Blue shade of the AniMe Matrix LED array, exclusive to this machine. The nameplate sports a similar tone, along with Walker’s idea to include his own signature next to the ROG logo. This nameplate is manufactured with a physical vapor deposition process for an enticing reflectivity that changes from different angles. Two fabric belts along the lid add ROG’s signature cyberpunk flair, with one belt using reflective text that blends with the matrix LEDs.
"I feel very proud for having the chance to work with ROG and I’m excited to show the world what we’ve been working on for so long," said Walker.
It isn’t just a fancy and powerful laptop that got the Alan Walker touch, even the box — Walker’s favorite part of the project — is far more than mere packaging: it’s a creative accessory all its own. Connect the box to the G14 with a USB Type-C cable and it turns into the ROG Remix sampler, with conductive pads on the surface that allow users to trigger 18 of Walker’s own sound effects.
Users can start with one of Walker’s genre-defining tracks or import their own tunes into the custom software, developed with Walker and his team. ROG Remix also displays unique ROG and Alan Walker inspired animations on the main screen of the laptop and AniMe Matrix panel based on the MIDI inputs selected.
Getting one of these is possible at the end of August when they are on sale here, but the price is there, at just over $3,000 for it.
