Heat is a bit of an issue with laptops, well ASUS solved it by adding a liquid cooling loop. The GX700 comes with an overclockable Intel Skylake processor, NVIDIA graphics, and sharp 17-inch 4K IPS LCD display. But yeah, liquid cooling, which comes courtesy of the enormous docking station.
This isn't your typical docking station — you won't be getting Ethernet or hooking up an external monitor by pushing down on the latch. This gives you liquid cooling and nothing more. Think of it as the laptop equivalent of an automotive radiator.
Seeing as the dock is pumping liquid coolant through the laptop, you want a tight and secure fit to avoid any leakage. Pushing down on the latch slightly firmly the laptop in and connects the conduits, expanding the cooling loop to the large radiator and fans in the rear dock. If you're overclocking the processor, this seems to be a must, lest you start melting your keyboard in the process. Undocking is a two-step process: push down forcefully on the button close to the back of the laptop and then lift up on the latch. Seems kind of necessary to us that it be difficult — we wouldn't want to pick it up and have coolant pour out all over our desk.
Obviously, this laptop and liquid cooling dock combination isn't for everybody, and ASUS doesn't expect it to be. ROG stands for Republic of Gamers, ASUS's gaming-focused line-up of laptops, desktops, and accessories. The GX700 fits that bill. It's technically a laptop and thus technically portable, but it's certainly not a machine you'd want to lug around on a regular basis. It's huge, it's heavy, and though we don't have specs on it, we don't expect the battery life to be phenomenal. This is a machine purpose built for hardcore gaming — it just makes it easier to pick up and go somewhere else to do that gaming if you have to. It's radically-designed, it'll be insanely expensive, and it's just so damn cool (in more way than one).
At one point one must figure, just buy a PC ? Via Windows central.
