The Asus Mothership Is A Surface Pro For Hardcore Gamers

The Asus Mothership is what you would call a Microsoft surface style device that has been designed for gamers. Asus has introduced some killer designs recently and the Asus Mothership is just another addition to that portfolio. Some people were able to check out the device before CES 2019 and here we are going to look into what this beast of a machine has to offer.

ROG G703UNLEASH THE BEAST

G703 is a beast with the power to take on today’s gaming desktops, thanks to its factory-overclocked 8th Generation Intel® Core™ i9 processor and NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 2080 graphics. Designed to play the latest AAA titles on Ultra graphics settings, this powerful Windows 10 Pro laptop features an IPS-level display with a 144Hz refresh rate and ultrafast 3ms gray-to-gray (GTG) response time for smooth visuals with little or no motion blur. ROG-exclusive software lets you switch between an Optimus power-saving mode or NVIDIA G-SYNC™ to experience the smoothest gameplay without stuttering and visual tearing. G703 speeds up loading times with its three NVMe® PCI Express® SSDs in RAID 0 configuration offering read speeds of up to 8700MB/s — the fastest storage ever found on a laptop. Its wireless performance goes above and beyond today’s networking standards; a 2.5G port delivers speeds more than twice the industry while Intel Gigabit Wi-Fi reaches up to 1.7Gbps — 12X-faster than 802.11b/g/n1!.

The Asus Mothership much like the Surface Pro sits on its screen and is supported by a stand. The keyboard can be folded out and an interesting thing is that it can be used by plugging it in or wirelessly. There is a switch on the keyboard which will allow you to connect it to the device wirelessly and I think that this is a cool feature to have.
