Asus continues to impress with its range of consumer electronics, including laptops, desktops, and gaming accessories. The ROG and TUF gaming brands strike a perfect balance between high-end performance and affordability.
With numerous new products announced at CES 2026, the Asus lineup can seem overwhelming. However, here are four standout computers from Asus that deserve your attention.
Zenbook Duo
Last year's Zenbook Duo faced challenges with battery life, but this year's model, powered by Intel’s new Panther Lake (Core Ultra 3 series) processors, promises significant improvements, boasting up to 27 hours of video streaming battery life.
The integrated graphics performance is robust enough for heavy video editing without a discrete GPU, enhancing portability and battery efficiency. Weighing just 3.64 pounds (1.65Kg), the 2026 Zenbook Duo is impressively lightweight for a laptop featuring dual OLED screens.
ROG G1000 Desktop
If you appreciate Asus ROG’s AniMe Vision, the G1000 desktop is a must-see. While it comes with a premium price tag, the ROG G1000 features the innovative AniMe Holo technology on its side panel, introducing full-color holograms to your setup.
This desktop is designed to support an AMD Ryzen 9000 series CPU, up to the Ryzen 9 9950X3D, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX graphics card, up to the RTX 5090. Asus has also confirmed that the case will be adaptable for future CPU and GPU advancements.
The G1000 is equipped with the ROG X870 motherboard, supporting up to 128GB of DDR5 U-DIMM 4800 MT/s memory and two NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD slots, with configurations offering up to 64GB of memory and 2TB of SSD storage.
ROG Zephyrus G14
The Zephyrus G14 is an excellent choice for gamers seeking a compact 14-inch laptop. Available with both Intel and AMD options, it caters to various preferences without the bulk of a desktop replacement.
Featuring a sleek chassis that debuted in 2024, the G14 remains a lightweight powerhouse, equipped with the latest processors and discrete graphics up to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080. At just 3.31 pounds, it’s surprisingly lighter than the Zenbook Duo, which is remarkable for a laptop with a discrete GPU.
TUF Gaming A14
The TUF Gaming A14 is among the lightest gaming laptops available, but its impressive features don’t stop there. Previous iterations of the TUF Gaming A14 boasted excellent battery life, lasting up to 10 hours during web browsing. The 2026 model enhances this with an AMD Strix Halo (Ryzen AI Max 300 series) processor and a 73Whr battery.
While it lacks a discrete Nvidia graphics card, the AMD Strix Halo APU offers graphics performance comparable to the RTX 4070 mobile, potentially providing better battery life as well.
