If you want a gaming laptop sans the traditional form-factor, there’s the ASUS ROG Flow X16 2022. Like its predecessor, this 2-in-1 convertible machine sports a 360-degree hinge if you want to use it as a tablet or in tent mode if you’re gaming with friends or external peripherals.
But unlike the former, this one utilizes AMD Ryzen 9 6000 series chips, albeit the GPU is still from NVIDIA, with the top-tier variant sporting a GeForce RTX 3070 Ti GPU.
The Flow X16 2022 model will be available in select markets with a starting price of USD1,949.99 (around Php102,300). The official price in the Philippines is yet to be announced.
