The new 18-inch laptop will be launched at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show. The upcoming laptop was dubbed the "Big Guy" by the account on Weibo.
The Weibo post adds some context to a message posted by the company. Something big is coming on January 3, followed by the date on Friday. There is a person in this picture
Since the company doesn't make gaming laptops larger than 17 inches, that statement makes sense. It's possible that it's a hint at a big performance.
The company included a link to its Maxed Out landing page in its recenttweet, which is in line with the timing of the show. New products will be introduced on the show, according to the page's description.
The video teased the laptop. We can make out a few details. A laptop with a large, thin-bezel display is playing a variety of videos in the center of a dark room. The words "For those who dare" and "Maxed out" were cut from the clip before it ended with the letter N on the laptop's screen.
The video is about as devoid of solid information as possible. The company wants us to watch on January 3.
The ROG device could be a move to compete with Alienware and Razer, both of which are planning to launch 18-inch laptops. The offerings for both companies are at 17 inches.
Some of the best gaming laptops on the market are made by Alienware and Razer. We know that 600Hz laptop displays are on the way, but could the ROG "Big Boy" pack one into its 18-inch frame? We will have to wait and watch.
