the official availability of the brand new compact Republic of Gamers (ROG) G550JK gaming notebook at PC Show, which
seeks to transform the gaming experience for the serious gamers.
Available tomorrow, the new ROG G550JK gaming notebook is an ultra-compact powerhouse with
a crisp 15.6-inch display that offers all the benefits associated with the ROG
notebook range in an even more portable and slimmer form factor. Powered by
4th-generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor, and featuring an NVIDIA®
GeForce® GTX™ 850M GPU that can be overclocked with the ASUS
TurboMaster technology, the ROG G550JK
provides ultimate gaming-on-the-go experience for the serious gamers. It will
be retailing at S$1,898, and will be available at all ASUS brand stores and

Star Products
The latest addition to the ROG gaming notebook
family, the ROG G550JK is
characterised by sleek and muscular low-profile aluminum lines that are
enhanced by the signature ROG colour scheme of matt black with fine red
diamond-cut detailing. Despite its compact, slim and portable form factor, the ROG G550JK packs a big punch for the
gamers.
Featuring the fourth generation Intel®
Core™ i7 processor and ROG-exclusive ASUS TurboMaster technology with GPU Tweak
software, this allows the enthusiast-grade NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M GPU to be
overclocked safely by up to 5%, thus giving gamers a boost in their gaming
performance. Even when running at maximum speed, the ROG G550JK maintains its cool temperature with the help of an
intelligent dual-fan cooling system, which uses two independent fans and copper
heat-sinks to cool the CPU and GPU perfectly when necessary.
For better gaming experience, the ROG G550JK sports a 15.6-inch 1,920 x
1,080 full HD IPS display resolution with an anti-reflective matte panel. This
not only reduces distracting reflections, but also lessens eye fatigue and
related pains from prolonged usage. The ASUS Colour Gamut Management and automatic
Colour Management also ensure stunning visual experience with accurate and rich
colours at all times. Powered by ASUS SonicMaster Premium audio technology, the
ROG G550JK provides incredibly
powerful high-fidelity audio with unrivalled clarity, and the external
SonicMaster subwoofer also pumps out massive bass for a truly immersive overall
gaming experience. The ROG AudioWizard software also enables gamers to control
the audio settings for any environment, with a total of five presets for
different game genres. Also sporting a HD front camera, the ROG G550JK is equipped for full screen
video conferencing with great low-light performance powered by a high
sensitivity sensor, thus providing gamers with the option to engage in video
recording under any condition.
Available at PC Show, the ROG G550JK will be retailing at S$1,898. It will be available at
all ASUS brand stores and authorised stores islandwide.
