The Asus Mothership laptop is like nothing we’ve seen at CES 2019

2019-01-07
the first time someone describes have the new or soos mothership works you won't get it no one I've described it to does and even after reading about it before seeing it I had no idea what to expect but in person it's one of the most inventive gaming laptops I've seen and the closest I've seen to a gaming laptop truly embracing the DNA of a desktop the mothership starts out looking like any other oversized 17-inch gaming laptop but to open it you place its rear edge where the ports and vents usually are flat against the table or desk press down lightly and a kick stamp pops out from the back the prototype we tried only worked at one angle but as sue says the final version will allow for multiple kickstand angles then you fold open the clamshell revealing a keyboard with a side aligned touchpad that keyboard can sit at its slightly inclined angle making for an unusual gaming laptop setup but it can also fully detach that way you can sit back with the keyboard fold the top half of the keyboard panel underneath it or position it however you like in this mode the mothership is less of a gaming laptop and more of a gaming all-in-one desktop with a wireless keyboard the advantage of a setup like this is that it's more focused on being desk friendly than lap friendly which is what you really want the gaming PC laptop or desktop unlike traditional laptops the components are all built into the display side and that includes new NVIDIA r-tx series graphics and Intel Core i nine processors the kickstand of the back allows for some pretty substantial cooling letting these high-power parts live in harmony in a laptop body and if you're looking for something a little more modest but still a top performer there's a new version of the very slim a Suzy forest gaming laptop the GX 701 takes the basic concept of the Zephyrus a slim body that lifts up on a rear riser for both cooling and ergonomics and puts it into a larger 17 inch laptop core i7 processors and max QR TX graphics from Nvidia add up to date components it's no mothership but it'll be a lot less expensive
