ASUS Malaysia has announced the local availability of its new ROG gaming laptops, following last month’s debut of its refreshed ROG Zephyrus models; alongside new gaming laptops, the company is also showcasing its new ROG Edition 20 lineup, which features special commemorative designs and exclusive features in select models.
New ROG Zephyrus Duo & ROG Strix Laptops
The new ASUS ROG 2026 gaming laptop lineup includes the all-new ROG Zephyrus Duo, along with refreshes of ROG Strix SCAR 18, ROG Strix G16 and ROG Strix G18 models.

Starting with the new ROG Zephyrus Duo, it features two 16-inch 3K 120Hz ROG Nebula HDR OLED touchscreen displays, both of which are certified with DisplayHDR True Black 1000 certification; the primary display also supports NVIDIA G-SYNC for its variable refresh rate support. The laptop includes a detachable magnetic keyboard that can operate wirelessly through Bluetooth. ASUS states that the combined display area exceeds 21 inches diagonally.


For the heavyweights, the updated ROG Strix SCAR 18 is equipped with up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU, with a combined system power of 320W, with 175W allocated to the flagship NVIDIA laptop GPU. For the ROG Strix G16 and Strix G18, both also feature Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processors across most configurations, with a range of mid-range RTX GPU available.
Here’s the announced models along with their pricing (all models are now available for purchase):

Finally, ASUS also provided an update on its TUF Gaming lineup: the new TUF Gaming 16 will arrive in Q3 2026, featuring Intel Raptor Lake processor paired with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs, along with an updated chassis design that further simplifies this laptop’s once-rigid looks.
