Computex opens June 2 in Taipei, where ASUS says its booth will center on ROG’s 20th anniversary and a broader “Ubiquitous AI” push across gaming, consumer and enterprise PCs.
The flagship gaming reveal is the 2026 ROG Strix SCAR 18, carrying up to an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus, RTX 5090 Laptop GPU and 320W total system power, plus a 4K 240Hz Mini-LED display.
The biggest unresolved product is the ROG Ally 2, which ASUS has not confirmed but which leaked filings suggest could use AMD’s Ryzen Z2 Extreme and as much as 64GB of RAM.
ASUS is also expected to use the show to extend AI branding beyond premium lines, while monitor news may build on its already shipping 32-inch 4K 240Hz ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM Gen 3.
The preview suggests Computex will be less about broad refreshes than about anniversary editions, AI expansion and filling in missing details such as US pricing and ship dates.
As Intel enters the ring with new chips, can ASUS's next handheld truly dominate the intensifying portable PC war?
With gamers rejecting AI, can new handhelds prove their on-device AI is a game-changer and not just a gimmick?
