The EngiNeer Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Asus ROG Teases Liquid Cooled GX700 Gaming Laptop We expected to see some interesting products based on Intel's unlocked Core i7-6820HK Skylake processor for laptops, but it didn't occur to us that a company would use it as the foundation of a liquid gaming notebook. Apparently it occurred to Asus. One of the many products it's showing off at IFA is its ROG GX700, which is the "world's first water cooled gaming laptop." Unfortunately Asus is keeping pretty tight lipped about the specifics, saying only that it boasts an overclocked sixth generation Intel K-SKU processor (the only one we know of is the aforementioned Core i7-6820HK) the latest Nvidia graphics processor, and a 17-inch IPS display with a 4K resolution. Judging by the press photo, an external apparatus provides the system's liquid cooling. It's pretty bulky and negates the mobilty of a laptop, though we suspect (hope, really) it detaches rather easily so that you can still take the GX700 with you without lugging around an external box. Asus also unveiled the ROG G752, another Skylake laptop but cooled with air. There will be three SKUs available, two with an Intel Core i7-6700HQ processor and one with an optional upgrade to the 6820HK. According to Anandtech, The lowest end (G752VL) sports up to 64GB of DDR4-2133 RAM, GeForce 965M GPU, 128GB or 256GB NVMe SSD, up to a 2TB HDD, and Windows 10. Stepping up to the G752VT gets you an upgrade to a GeForce GTX 970M (3GB and 6GB options available), and the G752VY bumps it up to a 4GB or 8GB 980M, along with an option to upgrade to a 4K display. Pricing for the G752 will start at $1,499.
