Oh come on... who the hell buys those overpriced "laptops" ? The GX700 was 4-5K $, with that amount of money you can build a killer mini-ITX pc which you can carry around and not something that's clearly NOT A LAPTOP at 10kilos or whatever it was with the base cooling unit.
Really disappointed with the lineup. You would think that ASUS would pull out something epic for the motherboard line, being 10 year anniversary and all. But no. Just the same old cliche "lights and fans" = $300 price premium.
Come on ASUS, you had a chance to really hit it home here. How about a "10th anniversary edition" X99 mobo with a higher grade nic than the run of the mill I218-V, or a SAS controller, or watercooling fullboard blocks STANDARD, or something insane like 30 phases, OR AN AUDIO IMPLEMENTATION THAT ISN'T REALTEK.
It'll be another 10 years of ROG branding with more of the same. Dilution and saturation of what the brand represents.

What the lack in cutting edge tech specs and high quality they make up for with some really read and blue lights. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpufzJNrZ2Y
