ASUS Teases Next-generation RTX 50-powered Gaming Laptops For CES 2025

Last week, we reported on a massive leak that gave us a glimpse at a surfeit of upcoming ROG gaming laptops from ASUS boasting Arrow Lake-HX and Strix Halo processors, along with RTX 50-series Laptop GPUs. The company has now gone ahead and officially teased its ROG Flow Z13 laptop and the ROG Strix 18 laptop, the videos for which were obtained by VideoCardz. Considering that these were just teasers, the details shared were sparse, but undoubtedly intriguing regardless.

The ROG Strix 18, will likely boast the Core Ultra 9 285HX and Core Ultra 9 275HX CPUs along with NVIDIA "Blackwell" Laptop GPUs, with up to an 175-watt RTX 5090 Laptop with 16 GB of GDDR7 VRAM. Multiple other GPU options will also be available, with the RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU being the entry-point as per the leaked listings. Clearly, the Strix 18 is poised to be a powerful and power-hungry desktop replacement-class laptop, along with a massive 18-inch mini LED screen with a speedy 240 Hz refresh rate. Needless to say, the G18 has no intention of being affordable.
Next up, we have the ROG Flow Z13, which has also appeared in previous leaks which we have reported on. As expected from a "Flow" product, the laptop will likely feature a detachable keyboard and a compact chassis, at least by powerful gaming laptop standards. At its core, the Flow Z13 will be powered by AMD's upcoming Strix Halo APUs, which will feature a Zen 5 "only" setup with extremely powerful integrated graphics with as many as 40 CUs, making the system powerful enough to not require discrete graphics at all. ASUS has stated that the laptops will drop between January 5-6th, 2025, which means we won't have much waiting to do to see what ASUS has in store for us.

C’mon Flow Z13 with Strix Halo. We need another AMD-based tablet!

I wonder if they would still stick with their XG Mobile connector. That needs to be updated to support at least PCI-E 4.0 x8 to prevent any future bandwidth constraints.

Again with the Intel CPUs in high end gaming laptops, when AMD options are far better.

Curious to see how this plays out. I assume asus will have to use amd for the new g14 since Intel loves to waste power and heat... 4060-4070 is already pretty good in a laptop for my category of gaming. 5*** series will prob be pretty easy 4k gaming on laptops now.

How it can be called RTX 5090? It uses les electricity than desktop and is slower.

Recent repair shop video says Asus laptops breaks after warranty, because one SMD condensator shorts or something else.

Because it is just a marketing name. Laptop RTX 4090 is actually a desktop 4080 core with the same configuration but GDDR6 RAM instead.

Regarding the so-called repair videos, hyperbole for views.
