When I heard Asus was bringing a laptop called the Mothership to CES 2019, I knew I had to see it. Actually, calling it a laptop doesn’t quite do this thing justice, because it’s one part 2-in-1, it’s one part gaming machine, it’s loaded up with more RGB lights than a UFO, and I absolutely love it.

Comprised of a tablet-style body with a
fold-out kickstand and a detachable keyboard, the ROG Mothership GZ700 appears to be a giant Surface for gamers, but it’s so much more than
that. Just on specs alone, the Mothership makes other high-priced gaming machines seem weak, as it comes with a brand new Nvidia RTX GPU (with 8GB of VRAM), a 17.3-inch 144Hz G-sync display (with 3ms response time), and a six-core Intel core i9-8950HK CPU.

And if that’s not enough, the Mothership can be specced with up to 64GB of RAM and three 512GB PCIe SSDs that come pre-configured in RAID 0, you know for that extra bit of speed. All told, the Mothership is a system with more horsepower than most people would know what to do with.
