FULL STORY ======================================================================

Asus makes quality consumer electronics, whether youre talking about laptops, desktops, keyboards, mice, or other accessories. And the ROG and TUF gaming brands provide a great balance between premium gaming performance and affordability.

With a veritable deluge of new products announced at CES 2026, the Asus
lineup may feel intimidating. But these are the four computers from Asus that are worth your time. Zenbook Duo (Image credit: Future)

Last years Zenbook Duo was stymied by poor battery life, but powered by
Intels new Panther Lake (Core Ultra 3 series) processors , this years Zenbook Duo just might have real staying power since Intel promises up to 27 hours of video streaming battery life.

Plus, Panther Lakes integrated graphics performance is good enough you can
use the Zenbook Duo for heavy video edits without needing a discrete GPU, which will save you on weight, thermals, and battery life. In fact, the 2026 Zenbook Duo is incredibly light, weighing just 3.64 pounds (1.65Kg) thanks to its Ceraluminum chassis which is pretty impressive for a laptop with dual
OLED screens. ROG G1000 Desktop (Image credit: Future)

If youre a fan of Asus ROGs AniMe Vision, this is the desktop PC you absolutely need to save for. It may be a pricey beast, but the ROG G1000 case features Asus new AniMe Holo technology on the side panel, bringing
full-color hologram technology to your desktop case.

The ROG G1000 is currently designed to handle an AMD Ryzen 9000 series CPU up to the Ryzen 9 9950X3D, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX graphics card up to the RTX 5090, though Asus has confirmed the case will be upgraded to handle any new developments on the CPU and GPU front that may be coming later this year.

The G1000 sports the ROG X870 motherboard with support for up to 128GB of
DDR5 U-DIMM 4800 MT/s memory, and 2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD slots with
preconfigured models offering up to 64GB of memory and 2TB of SSD storage.

I love a good 14-inch gaming laptop, and the Zephyrus G14 now comes in both Intel and AMD flavors, so theres something for everyone, assuming you dont want a bulkier, desktop replacement gaming laptop, that is.

In the revamped, sleeker chassis that debuted in 2024 , the G14 is still a slim, ultra-portable gaming laptop thats sure to be an absolute powerhouse, packing the latest Intel and AMD processors along with discrete graphics up
to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080.

Weighing just 3.31 pounds, the Zephyrus G14 is actually lighter than the Zenbook Duo, which is a little wild for a laptop packing a discrete GPU. TUF Gaming A14 (Image credit: Future)

The TUF Gaming A14 is one of the lightest gaming laptops Ive ever held in my hands, and thats not even the most impressive thing about the TUF A14. Previous versions of the TUF Gaming A14 have had some fantastic battery life, ranging up to 10 hours of web surfing. The 2026 model ups the ante with an
AMD Strix Halo (Ryzen AI Max 300 series) processor and 73Whr battery.

While the new TUF Gaming A14 doesnt have a discrete Nvidia graphics card,
AMDs Strix Halo APU does have graphics performance that rivals the RTX 4070 mobile, and just may offer better battery life in the bargain.
