The new Zephyrus pair come in dark gray and silvery white color options. | Photo by Antonio G. Di Benedetto / The Verge Asus’ ROG Zephyrus have been some of our most recommended gaming laptops for years — and now‚ for CES 2024‚ the Zephyrus G14 and G16 are getting thinner‚ faster‚ and even more versatile for non-gaming tasks. I’ve been testing them out for a couple of weeks‚ and so far‚ it seems like a winning update. For 2024‚ Asus is redesigning the G14 and G16 with new aluminum builds‚ a smaller and sleeker hinge that doesn’t elevate the deck‚ 16:10 OLED screens (2880 x 1800 / 120Hz for the G14 and 2560 x 1600 / 240Hz for the G16)‚ larger trackpads and keyboards‚ a new fast-charging port with reversible plug (separate from their USB-C charging)‚ new six-speaker audio setups (even in the smaller 14-inch)‚ new chips ranging from AMD’s Ryzen 8000 series...

The ROG Phone 8 lineup consists of the standard ROG Phone 8‚ the ROG Phone 8 Pro‚ and the ROG Phone 8 Pro Edition‚ which each differ slightly in design and specs. The $1‚099.99 (€1‚099.99 / £949.99) ROG Phone 8 has an RGB logo on its back and comes with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of... Continue reading…

Illustration by The Verge Just a couple of weeks after Substack co-founder Hamish McKenzie defended the company’s decision to continue allowing Nazi content‚ Platformer reports that Substack will now remove “some” publications that express support for Nazis. McKenzie’s December post was responding to a letter from over 200 Substack authors who cited‚ among other things‚ a recent report in The Atlantic that pointed out over a dozen newsletters with overt Nazi imagery‚ as well as many more with evidence of extremist views.

Asus’ already announced PG32UCDM OLED monitor. | Image: Asus OLED monitors are getting exciting at CES this year. Asus has just announced three new OLED monitors‚ and two of them are capable of hitting 480Hz refresh rates. Much like LG‚ Asus has a dual-mode 32-inch OLED monitor that can offer 240Hz refresh rates at 4K resolution‚ or 480Hz at 1080p. Asus is also announcing a 27-inch 1440p OLED monitor that’s capable of 480Hz natively. The ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDP dual-mode gaming monitor can switch between 4K 240Hz and 1080p 480Hz “at any time‚” according to Asus. That means if you want to play something like Overwatch 2 or Valorant at high refresh rates you can switch to the 1080p mode‚ and keep the 4K 240Hz mode for ray-traced single player titles.
