If I had unlimited money and could buy any gaming laptop, it would be the Asus Rog Mothership GZ700.<\/p>\n

I would need an endless amount of cash to afford the behemoth of a laptop as it is currently being sold for $6,000 (R103,000) \u2013 not including import fees as it is currently not for sale in South Africa.<\/p>\n

Incredible specs<\/h3>\n

\"Mothership\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Although it may charge an astronomical price, it makes sense when you look at the laptop’s specs.<\/p>\n

The laptop has an Intel i9 processor, a Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Graphics Card with 8GBs of RAM, a 1.5TB SSD, and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity.<\/p>\n

Particularly impressive for a gaming-specific laptop is the 64 GB Ram.<\/p>\n

The internal hardware makes the Rog Mothership an absolute beast of a computer.<\/p>\n

Fun design<\/h3>\n

Besides the incredible specs, the noticeable thing that separates the Rog Mothership from its competitors is that it can separate its keyboard from its screen, turning it into a hybrid between a gaming PC and a tablet.<\/p>\n

This allows the user to rest the screen on its built-in rear kickstand, which would be great for me as I prefer having my screen further away.<\/p>\n

It also presents a technical benefit, as it allows for greater cooling of the processor and graphics card compared to a regular laptop.<\/p>\n

This means the Rog Mothership can run any game at maxed settings without the system overheating.<\/p>\n

One possible drawback is that the screen is only 1920 x 1080 but considering the standing screen display size is only 17.3 inches, it is not a significant issue as you would need a much larger screen to truly enjoy UHD or 4K resolutions.<\/p>\n

My personal preference<\/h3>\n

\"mothership<\/a><\/p>\n

This would make the perfect gaming laptop for incredibly rich me, as I would only want to buy one that could run games to the absolute limit technically.<\/p>\n

Moreover, I come from a console background, so having a piece of hardware that can run games from the off is a selling point for me.<\/p>\n

I also have no experience building computers, so having a laptop that’s hardware is maxed out is excellent for me, as I do not want to upgrade it further down the line.<\/p>\n

My preference for a gaming laptop already pre-built to the absolute max is why I would buy a Rog Mothership if I were stupidly wealthy.<\/p>\n
