When Intel announced their new processors the other day, ASUS quickly moved and announced a refresh in almost its entire gaming laptop line-up.
The ROG Zephyrus was updated to the new Intel 8th-Generation Coffee Lake processor. The same chipset is also found on the new ASUS FX504 TUF line. And now, the same chip is also used on the updated ASUS ROG Strix and Scar Edition.
These gaming laptops also sport Pascal-based NVIDIA graphics cards, from the GTX 1050Ti up to the GTX 1070.
Other than the upgraded components, these devices also come with ultra-fast screens. Almost all of the newly announced ASUS gaming laptops now have either a 120Hz or 144Hz screen.
