The perfect workstation for Asus Rog Fan: everything you could wish for

The perfect workstation for Asus Rog Fan: everything you could wish for

During the live on our PC stations that we made a few weeks ago (video) many readers asked for information on the Rog PC that I use and on some devices on my desk. Today I decided to show you the second station (therefore not the live one) and dedicated to the game or in any case to moments of leisure.

As many know for almost a year now I have been using the Rog Phone 2 as the main smartphone (try again here), but my passion for the company's Rog line was born much earlier. I am in fact a longtime buyer and I have had several PCs with Rog components assembled even though over time I have increasingly moved to the "mobile" world of this line.

In addition, in recent months I have offered you several Rog accessories on the day's offers and, as often happens, I fell for it first and I expanded my collection. Thanks then to the contribution of Asus, who I contacted to have a few accessories that I missed and the Rog Phone 2 kit still in my possession, here is that my position has literally become Centric ROG.

THE PC

Let's start with the "engine" that moves everything you see in the video. It is about Zephyrus S GX531, the 2019 model that has recently been updated with several new features and a major change in the keyboard layout. I chose this laptop last year for two main reasons:

  • It is the only thin and weighing 2KG gaming laptop to have an Nvidia 2080 MaxQ graphics card.
  • It is a product that can be easily transported anywhere and allows me to completely replace my desktop PC when I move for a long time (in the summer even a few months).

Compared to the classic version, I changed the SSD by putting a 2TB Sabrent. An operation not too difficult but which implies the total opening of the laptop. One thing that I did with extreme pleasure because it allowed me to see the atypical internal construction of this laptop. Really incredible how Asus managed to insert all the doors, fans, dissipation system and so on in so little space and thickness.

THE ROG COMPONENTS

But why am I obsessed with the Rog line? A bit 'because trivially, when you start having multiple products from the same line, you prefer to buy devices belonging to the same brand and range. A bit 'because the Rog series, despite having generally higher prices than the competition, offers often unique solutions (see the laptop) and devices with specifications higher than the competitors.

HEADPHONES


Personally I bought the Rog Cetra headphones a few months ago (review) because I wanted to use them on the smartphone and at the same time have a wired and Type-C product for the various devices without Jack. It is an excellent product, not cheap but which offers not only a flat and very balanced sound, but also a truly excellent ear hook system for sports too.

The others are the Rog Delta, a product that I had during a press trip and that turned out to be really excellent. I use them to play, they are certainly not small to carry around, but they have the great advantage of being really comfortable and not touching the auricle. In addition, the microphone is released and if you do not have to play online you have one less "hindrance".

If you want to pocker yourself, you can buy the bracket with LED which in addition to holding the Delta adds some Hub-style USB ports.

MOUSE:


Obviously I could not use the mouse ROG Gladius P702, a wireless product with bluetooth connectivity that I use in combination with the Logitech keyboard for greater convenience of use when I am at the desk. The Glaudius has gaming specifications with optical sensor up to 16000dpi for but the highest precision and boasts Omron switches

Under the mouse a mega mat ROG Balteus which adds two interesting elements: one USB port and Qi charging in order to upload products wirelessly. Excellent because very large but certainly an accessory not essential.

SSD:


As I said, I replaced the internal SSD of the laptop and mounted a 2TB one. Where to put the 512GB advanced one? Here was convict was an offer of the day with the related purchase of theROG Strix Arion. This is the best SSD Case on the market (so much so that I convinced other colleagues) because it has:

  • truly effective passive internal dissipation system
  • construction not comparable to other houses on the market
  • thick and very robust metal
  • case included
  • USB Type-C 3.2 with 1GB / S maximum bandwidth and … LED!

I assure you that a case of this type at around € 60 and compatible with practically everything you will not find it.

ROUTER:


One of the latest arrivals is also the ROUTER GT-AC2900, a product that I used to test with Wi-Fi 6 (note: the router is 5 but I had to see the possible performance differences between a top gaming wi-fi 5 and a wi-fi 6 product) and that offers an infinite number of options, settings and optimizations to ensure the maximum possible bandwidth, very low latency and maximum performance (and I confirm to be a truly excellent router and with performance practically comparable to the Asus Wi-Fi 6 models used in the test).

Bonus the keyboard that is not Rog but is a product that I use a lot as it allows me to keep the smartphone vertical and is essential during video calls, meetings or other.

THE MOBILE WORLD



THE BACKPACK:


I close with a whim that I always wanted to take off thanks to a promo on Amazon: it BP3703G BACKPACK / BK / 17 backpack. It is an expensive product, around € 250 but which is probably the best purchase I have made over the years (I am a bit attached to backpacks, being real work tools for me).

OItre with lights that can be turned off, it has a not too large size but a huge capacity. It has an incredible number of pockets and, above all, it has an internal light which, in my case, is hyper comfortable when I am at events and fairs to find what I need (it is often very dark). In addition, the finishes are excellent, excellent robustness and quality materials.

CONCLUSIONS

As you may have guessed if on the one hand there is certainly a disease in purchasing some unnecessary objects, on the other hand having a position in the same product line is certainly not wrong. The advantages are both aesthetic and functional as I can, for example, synchronize all the lights in order to have a uniform color between the various objects.

There are also integrations with the Philips Hue, the possibility of remote control of the smartphone on a PC and much more. Added to this is the quality of the products against a lot of money spent.

Is it worth it? Probably not for all devices but everyone has their own diseases and vices.
