ASUS ROG 6 overview
The ASUS ROG (Republic of Gamers) gaming phone debuted back in 2018, and became a favourite among gamers, despite the fact that the rest of the world wasn’t ready for gaming phones yet.
Times change, though, and we were therefore quite excited to get our hands on the latest flagship ROG gaming phone coming to South Africa this month.
The new series includes the ROG Phone 6 and the 6 Pro, currently being marketed as the most powerful ROG phones ever made.
Vivobook Pro 16x OLED overview
The Citizen’s tech team had the pleasure of reviewing the ASUS Vivobook Pro 16X OLED over the festive season – a sleek and impressive powerhouse packed with features.
We had the N7601 model. Here’s what we loved about the laptop, and what we didn’t. (Spoiler alert, there wasn’t much we didn’t love).
Marketed as “the world’s first 16-inch 3.2K OLED laptop”, it’s built for no-compromise performance while being kept cool with a quad-vented cooling system.
