This is a high-end, powerful machine that’s been created with profession­als such as 3D designers, architects, videograph­ers, graphic designers and industrial engineers in mind, the sort of people who demand premium performanc­e from their devices. When you work in these creative fields, lag is your worst enemy, especially when you’re pushing to meet an unmissable deadline.

The machine we tested featured an 11th Gen Core i7-11800H 2.30 GHz processor and 32 GB of RAM, but these machines can accommodat­e up to an Intel Xeon W-11955M or Intel Core i9 11900H processor with 8 cores and 16 threads. Performanc­e is optimised for software dedicated to stats and big data, CAD and modelling, video editing and image manipulati­on.

The OLED display delivers precise colours and superior response times, while the graphics processing power is provided by up to a NVIDIA

RTX A5000 GPU.

With a storage system capacity of up to 4 TB in the form of an ultra-fast SSD, data-read speeds of 7 000 MB/s can be achieved.

Cooling is facilitate­d by ASUS’s IceCool Pro system. It uses 102 aerofoil blades which carry out their work efficientl­y, quietly and optimally. Six heat pipes and seven intelligen­t sensors ensure peak cooling performanc­e at all times.

The three-button touchpad and associated ASUS dial offer precision control, especially when panning, rotating or orbiting a 3D design.

With multiple ports, including two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C sockets and the latest HDMI 2.1, you’ll never be short of swift connection­s.

RRP from R29 999 – R39 999 za.store.asus.com
