There are a lot of new displays to cover, so let’s kick things off with the gaming monitors.

Front and back views of the ROG Swift OLED PG27UCWM

At the top of the list are the first ROG monitors with ROG Stripe OLED technology: the ROG Swift OLED PG27UCWM, ROG Swift OLED PG34WCDN, and ROG Strix OLED XG34WCDMS. Their full RGB subpixel arrangement results in sharper text, incredibly accurate color reproduction, and ultra-high luminance for white and colored light. On all RGB Stripe OLED ROG monitors, expect consistent perceived brightness, razor-sharp text, and remarkably precise color reproduction.

Looking for one display that offers an optimal experience in any game in your library? A dual-mode monitor is what you need. The ROG Strix 5K XG27JCG lets you go 5K 180Hz or QHD 330Hz — it’s an absolute beast for resolution fiends. The ROG Strix XG27UCG Gen 2 (also known as the ROG Strix XG27UCGR) offers 4K 160Hz and FHD 480Hz modes, giving you the power to triple your refresh rate with the flip of a switch. TUF Gaming is getting in on the dual-mode fun, too.

Whether you game in the dark or play in the day, this new screen gives you the incredibly deep blacks and punchy visuals you crave.

The ROG Strix Pulsar XG27AQNGV gaming monitor with G-SYNC Pulsar

We just launched the ROG Strix Pulsar XG27AQNGV featuring new technology from ROG and NVIDIA. This monitor gives you superbly sharp and clear gameplay through G-SYNC Pulsar. This tech utilizes variable frequency backlight strobing to deliver 4x effective motion clarity, together with smooth G-SYNC Variable Refresh Rate.

ROG XREAL R1 Glasses give you a massive display without the space requirements

The next product is once again a display, but it’s so far into its own category that it deserves its own section. The ROG XREAL R1 Glasses redefine the way you play games, giving you a massive virtual screen that takes up zero real-world space. These 240Hz micro-OLED FHD gaming glasses offer a 57° field of view (FOV). From four meters away, that FOV means your virtual screen will look like a colossal 171-inch display. Look forward to smooth motion and massive, glorious visuals in all your favorite games.

Monitors for creators, travelers, and more

Of course, gaming monitors aren’t the only game in town. Accurate displays are an essential piece of kit for professional creators and artists. For CES 2026, we’re launching three new ProArt monitors, each equipped with top-quality OLED technology.

The ProArt Display OLED PA279CDV features our LuxPixel technology, an anti-glare, low-reflection (AGLR) coating that makes your viewing experience more comfortable. During crunch time, your eyes will thank you. The ProArt Display OLED PA32UCDMR-K and PA27UCDMR bolster the hallmark ProArt credentials — professional grade color accuracy, exceptional color gamut coverage, rich calibration support — with 240Hz refresh rates. This pairing of creator-class visuals with fluid animation supports artists and professionals who work with a wide variety of digital media, like video game assets.

For many PC users, any new technology is a luxury unless they can pack it up in their laptop bag. To equip the digital nomads, hybrid workers, students, and on-the-move workers of the world with the essential tech for doing more on the go, we offer a wide range of ZenScreen portable monitors. At CES 2026, we’re showcasing our latest refinements. All told, we’re introducing four new models. You’ll find a variety of panel sizes, resolutions, and refresh rates in the series, but all offer power passthrough to streamline your setup process whenever you’re near an outlet. We’re also augmenting our selection of dual-screen portable monitors with the new ZenScreen Duo MB14FCD, which features a pair of high-quality 14-inch IPS panels with a 16:10 aspect ratio, joined together with fully flexible hinges.

Your new AMD-powered DIY PC awaits

AMD just announced the AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D processor, a chip that the company is calling the fastest gaming CPU in the world. If you’re looking for a premium motherboard to pair with this potent new chip, check out our new lineup of ASUS AM5 motherboards.

Our latest options include models from ROG Crosshair, ROG Strix, TUF Gaming, and ProArt. Even though these boards use the same AM5 socket as previous models in the family, there’s a lot that’s new with the new boards. We’re debuting a new wire-free technology for hooking up an AIO CPU liquid cooler, enhanced memory performance, big changes to the UEFI BIOS, bold new visual designs, innovative new ways to streamline your building process, and much more.

Maybe you’re looking for a new PC case to house your new gaming hardware. Check out the all-new ROG Cronox ARGB, equipped with our stunning new ROG Eurux case fans. The Cronox ARGB is a spacious pillarless case with room for up to four 120mm fans along the bottom, top, and side panels. The case has room for all the latest and greatest PC hardware. It even packs a small, integrated 60Hz LCD screen inside, giving you a wide canvas for personalizing your machine. Add up all these perks, and the ROG Cronox ARGB makes a strong case for being your new hardware’s new home.

Many gamers love the quiet, powerful cooling of AIO CPU liquid coolers, but these coolers can pose some cable management hassles. Standard designs require you to figure out how to run cables that connect directly to the side of the pump housing, and then go behind the scenes to hook up all the cables for the radiator fans, too. With select new AM5 motherboards and the all-new ROG Strix LC IV Series AIO CPU liquid coolers, we’re changing all that. The new AIO-Connector hooks up everything in one go, no cables necessary.

New ROG laptops bring outstanding performance, exceptional cooling, and sizzling style

Perhaps you prefer a PC gaming setup that packs up and travels with you in a laptop bag or backpack. The latest ROG laptops will give you unbounded power and versatility.

The ROG Zephyrus Duo dual-screen gaming laptop

Out of all the new models, it’s hard to pick a headliner. The 2026 Zephyrus Duo is certainly a showstopper. This head-turning laptop gives you two full-size 3K OLED touchscreen displays in one device — perfect for multitasking in gaming or productivity scenarios. Featuring an Intel Core Ultra 9 Processor 386H and up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU, the Duo has the specs you need to thrive. The new form factor dials up the versatility, too. The only limits are your creativity.

Fans of Hideo Kojima’s games will recognize Shinkawa’s style and get to see it every time they whip out their ROG Flow Z13-KJP. The gaming tablet packs an AMD Ryzenâ„¢ AI Max+ 395 processor that’s ready for the latest games, AI workloads, and any productivity tasks you throw at it.

Beef up your PC setup with these peripherals

Savvy PC users rightfully pay plenty of attention to the components most responsible for their system’s performance, but their peripherals are selected with just as much care.

For CES 2026, we’re debuting a wide range of new peripherals for gamers, travelers, and creators.

Supreme NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series performance in a slim design

Without question, one of the big draws for top-of-the-line NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 5090 graphics cards is their AI performance. With 32GB of GDDR7, 21,760 CUDA cores, and the latest RTX innovations, these cards offer a dazzling 3352 AI TOPs.

An ROG AIO liquid cooler and 420mm radiator keep the CPU cool, with the radiator and its fans segregated to their own ROG Thermal Atrium for ultra-effective compartmentalized cooling.

Your first sneak peek for what’s coming with WiFi 8

CES is a fantastic place to encounter all the new tech coming your way in 2026, but that’s not all. The expo also gives companies like ours an opportunity to pull back the curtain on some of our longer-term projects. For our networking team, that means WiFi 8. The new standard is still very much under development, but we’re not waiting to get started on testing and product development.

The two ROG NeoCore units, one in front of the other

For CES 2026, we’re showcasing two WiFi 8 initiatives. The first is a demo system that we’re calling the ROG NeoCore. To help make sure that you won’t want to hide your next router in a closet, degrading its performance, we’re pursuing a new design that you’ll put on display in your living spaces. Refining classic ROG style into the distinctive shape of an icosahedron, the ROG NeoCore balances practicality and aesthetics. We’ve also put WiFi 8 through its paces with its first real-world throughput test. Click here to check out the results.

Mini PC solutions for any user, with processor options from both Intel and AMD

For those who prefer their PCs to fit in the palm of their hands, we’re expanding our lineup of mini-PCs with a broader range of the latest processors, from high-powered Intel options to graphics-ready AMD chipsets. Everyone who needs cutting-edge computing to meet the demands of the dawning age of AI — including businesses, creators, and gamers — will find something to suit their needs.

A home office setup featuring the NUC 16 Pro mini-PC

We’ll start with the latest version of the groundbreaking NUC: the NUC 16 Pro. Powered by up to an Intel Core Ultra X9 processor and up to 96GB of LPDDR5X and kept cool by a dual-fan thermal design, this compact PC delivers outsized performance. It’s ready to power up to four displays at once, and it’s enterprise-ready with key features like support for Intel vPro and fTPM.

Maybe you need the space-saving form factor of a mini-PC, but you prefer the processor options provided by AMD? The ExpertCenter PN55 is ready for business with AMD Ryzen AI 400 Series processors, supporting new AMD PRO technologies that deliver enterprise-level security, manageability, and system stability. These features were custom-designed to defend your data, simplify your IT, and streamline your operations. Gamers can get in on the action, too, with the AMD-powered ROG GR70. In a slim, compact package that’ll fit nicely in an entertainment center, studio apartment, or dorm room, you’ll get potent PC gaming performance.

The ASUS Ascent GX10 on a pedestal

The last mini-PC in our lineup is certainly not the least. The ASUS Ascent GX10 was meticulously engineered to bring world-class AI capabilities directly to researchers, businesses, and consumers who have been shut out from state-of-the-art AI tools. This includes institutions that don’t have the budget for a full server installation, or buildings that lack the space for a data center. The Ascent GX10 is a petite mini-PC that deploys in any scenario while bringing enough processing power to meet demanding AI workloads.

ProArt delivers networking tools for creators

Quite often, networking products are designed with the assumption that users who want premium wireless connections also want premium wired connections, too. Grab a top-shelf WiFi 7 gaming router, for instance, and you’ll get exceptional bandwidth whether you’re connecting over the 6GHz band or plugging into a 10G Ethernet port. That’s all well and good if you’re a networking enthusiast who wants it all, but it can lead to a world where folks looking for a robust wired Ethernet port selection can end up with wireless features that don’t end up seeing a lot of use.

For creative professionals and content creators who need powerful wired connectivity in a compact package, but who don’t need to over-invest in a wireless network, we’re debuting the very first ProArt networking products. The ProArt PRT-BE59 wireless router pairs next-gen WiFi 7 performance and professional-grade network management in a space-saving form factor. Dual-band bandwidth up to 5000 Mbps keeps wireless devices connected. Pair it with the super-compact ProArt Creator Switch PQG-U1080, and you’ll have a perfect setup for just about any studio environment. This switch is loaded up with ports: eight 2.5G ports and two 10G SFP+ ports, ensuring lightning-fast data transfer between devices on your local network.

Ultralight Zenbooks keep you moving

ASUS Zenbook laptops have to make every ounce count. Even the largest of our new Zenbooks, the 16-inch Zenbook A16, checks in just 1.2kg. That’s not a lot of margin to pack in powerful components, rich connectivity, excellent battery life, and an immersive display, but that’s what you get with this sleek laptop. Powered by up a Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme CPU, equipped with a 3K 120Hz OLED display with 1100 nits peak brightness, and housed in luxuriously light Ceraluminum chassis elements, this thin-and-light machine refuses to accept compromise.

Two people use the Zenbook Duo in share mode

For multitasking on the go, you could add a portable monitor to your bag — or you could grab the dual-screen Zenbook DUO. ASUS pioneered the movement to dual-screen laptops, and this is our most refined design yet. From the Ceraluminum chassis to the durable hinge and kickstand, this slim device is ready for life on the move. You’ll get access to two 14-inch Lumina Pro OLED touchscreens that are brighter than ever, while a detachable keyboard gives you incredible options for how to make use of the two screens.
