@ASUS_za Republic of Gamers #ROG Launched GX800 #GamingLaptop

Hi Guys,

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) announced GX800, a gaming laptop with the latest NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1080 SLI graphics and an advanced version of the Hydro Overclocking System liquid-cooling module. The 18-inch GX800 is the first gaming laptop designed to deliver real 4K UHD gameplay. It features NVIDIA G-SYNC™ technology and supports leading virtual-reality (VR) headsets for super-smooth and stutter-free VR gaming. In addition, GX800 features the Mechanical Tactile Advanced Gaming (MechTAG) keyboard with programmable ROG Aura RGB LED effects for individual keys.

NVIDIA SLI graphics and Hydro Overclocking System
ROG GX800’s NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 SLI graphics provides super-fast, silky-smooth gameplay and detailed gaming environments.

GX800 is paired with an advanced version of its predecessor’s Hydro Overclocking System to give it the cooling performance required for extreme overclocking of the processor and graphics cards. The Hydro Overclocking System helps boost GX800 clock frequencies from 3.2GHz to 4.2GHz. When overclocked, GX800 achieves a 3DMark Fire Strike Ultra score of 10395.

A ROG-proprietary connection between the Hydro Overclocking System and GX800 ensures coolant flows smoothly between the two without leaking. The coolant is pumped and circulated around the processor and graphics card, before it returns to the cooling module where two radiators help to dissipate heat. To cope with these demands, GX800 has two 330W power adapters.

Designed for real 4K UHD gaming visuals
The 18-inch ROG GX800 is the world’s first gaming laptop to provide real 4K UHD gameplay for realistic, highly-detailed gaming worlds with faster and smoother frame rates. GX800 can run games at ‘Ultra’ graphics settings at frame rates averaging over 60fps.

In addition, the combination of NVIDIA SLI graphics and the Hydro Overclocking System ensures GX800 has the performance to deliver the very best VR gaming experiences. GX800 provides super-smooth, stutter-free VR visuals with frame rates exceeding 90fps. Featuring plug-and-play compatibility with leading VR headsets, GX800 is designed for immersive VR gaming.

Accurate and responsive keystrokes
The MechTAG keyboard has mechanical switches for positive clicks and 2.5mm of key travel for accurate, tactile keystrokes. It incorporates 100 percent anti-ghosting with 30-key rollover to ensure that multi-keystroke commands are correctly logged — even when 30 keys are pressed simultaneously. In addition, ROG Aura RGB LED effects can be customized for each key, allowing gamers to configure different effects and colours for individual keys.

ASUS ROG GX800 will be available from February 2017 in South Africa Online from Evetech and DionWired (Note that it will be order on request) with a SRP of R129 999.00.

Thinnest Ever #ZenBook Launched Powering Your Half-Day Easily @ASUS_za #UX330UA

Hi Guys,

 

ASUS has announced the elegant and powerful ZenBook UX330UA, the thinnest-ever 13.3-inch ZenBook model. Precision-crafted from solid aluminium and powered by a high-performance up to Intel Core i7 processor, the 13.5mm-thin ZenBook UX330UA is 15 percent thinner than its predecessor — the highly-acclaimed ZenBook UX305 — and is also one of the world’s slimmest 13.3-inch laptops to feature this processor.

With a crisp and vibrant up to QHD+ (3200 by 1800) display — the highest resolution available at this size — and a weight of just 1.2kg, the sophisticated ZenBook UX330UA is the ultimate ultraportable for discerning users.

ZenBook UX330UA has an incredible battery life of up to 12 hours, for non-stop productivity throughout the working day and beyond.

Continuing the ZenBook tradition
With a chassis measuring only 13.5mm thin and weighing just 1.2kg, ASUS ZenBook UX330UA is one of the world’s slimmest and lightest 13.3-inch laptops. It is precision-crafted from a solid block of aluminium, giving it incredible strength without the compromise of added weight or bulk. Proudly carrying the ZenBook DNA, ZenBook UX330UA features all the iconic design elements of the series including the distinctive wedge-shaped profile, and the signature spun-metal finish on the lid with its Zen-inspired pattern of concentric circles. ZenBook UX330UA is available in two subtly elegant colours: Rose Gold and Quartz Grey.

Stunningly-detailed QHD+ display
ASUS ZenBook UX330UA features a stunningly-detailed 13.3-inch up to QHD+ (3200 by 1800) wide-viewing-angle display that has one of the highest resolutions available for a display of this size, with 40% more pixels than the 13-inch Retina® display used by Apple®[1]. This ultra-high resolution makes ZenBook UX330UA equally suited to work or play.

Exclusive ASUS technologies enhance UX330UA’s display even further. ASUS Tru2Life Video enhances each pixel in every video frame to give sharper, clearer and more realistic-looking videos, and ASUS Splendid ensures vivid, accurate colours for any kind of visual content. 

Incredible touch, incredible sound
For comfortable typing in any situation, ASUS ZenBook UX330UA features a supremely comfortable keyboard with widely separated keys that have a generous 1.5mm key travel. The keyboard is also backlit for easy typing in dim environments. Reliability is assured by a rigorous 10-million-stroke testing procedure.

The glass-coated touchpad is larger than average, and is extremely smooth to the touch for more accurate control. It supports Windows 10’s multi-touch and multi-gesture input with up to 3-finger gestures, making it easy to switch applications or screens.

Incredible sound has always been a feature of the ZenBook family, and UX330UA is no exception. ASUS SonicMaster audio, developed in cooperation with audio experts Harman Kardon, produces sound with deep, rich bass and crystal-clear vocals. The easy-to-use AudioWizard software has five presets optimized for different sound sources, so users can always enjoy the ultimate listening experience. ASUS ZenBook UX330UA will be available from January 2017 in South Africa from DionWired and other leading retailers. Please contact your local ASUS representative for further information.

Product Review - Nokia Lumia 720 + Wireless Cover + Wireless Charger

Hi Guys,

DionWired is an electronic store from the business empire of Walmart & they continue to run Blue Monday sale to clear off their old stock and make way for the new. I always try to see what they have on offer for that day and if price suits me I go for the same.

This week DionWired sold Nokia Lumia 720 which is an outdated model from the house of Nokia & Windows but I wanted the same to test and look what and how these phone works. I have been using Android phones in major proportions all these years since Google G1 and iPhone 3GS for some 2-3 months. 

When I ordered the phone, I never expected that it will come with the wireless charger along with this package. It was a great surprise and sweetened the deal. I really wanted to see how this works and how fast is the charging on Qi devices.

 The package also included the wireless cover for Lumia 720 to enable the wireless charging.

You already know all about the phone features as it's an old model. It has 4.3 inch screen with Gorilla glass. It has 6.7 megapixel Carl Zeiss Lens with a flash built in. The model has expandable memory and inbuilt memory of 8gb. The battery is 2000mAH which gives good output to last a day for average usage. The speakers are loud for music and movies playback. The phone weights 128 grams and with wireless cover some extra 50-60 grams. The pack also includes Nokia Stereo headsets WH-108 which are old designed (not in-ear ones) but the sound quality is nice but they gives cracking sound if moves around a lot as the wire is very thin between the connector and the ear buds. The phone takes micro SIM and has volume buttons on the side. It has Windows 8 operating system and touch screen is fast and responsive.

 The setup was fast and quick if you have an outlook, live, windows or hotmail account. It integrates with all the preinstalled apps and makes the phone work perfectly great. You can quickly go to Microsoft Apps store and install necessary apps like Whatsapp, Viber, Skype (Lumia 720 has front facing camera), WeChat, Facebook, Gmail etc etc. It has dual core 1ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor which works fine with 512mb RAM.

The wireless plate (DT-900) comes with it's own energy efficient power supply with a long 1.8m cable to keep it always connected to the power plug. You just need to put the phone over the same and the led glows white.

The charging cover has pins which gets inserted into the touch points on the back of the phone and makes this whole thing work. 

HERE Maps app brings a lot of maps functionality with offline guidance capabilities also. 

The sound quality of the phone is loud and awesome. The camera is also nice for starters considering the other new models have better ones. Overall the phone is really nice and has a lot of good features. I bought the same for my dad and considering his skills and needs, it will be a major upgrade to his earlier Nokia phones. 

The Windows 8 OS makes this model really good and I was unable to spend more time with it as I had to send it to India very next day of my purchase but I will really want to review more of the Nokia Lumia devices.

Cheers!!!
