Aura Sync AURA SHINES BRIGHTER THAN EVER Dim the lights and let Aura Sync take center stage. RGB glows behind the metallic ROG logo splashed across the lid, and illumination extends to the optional light bar wrapped around the outer rim of the chassis. Clear edges around the keys and transparent WASD caps highlight crucial keyboard commands. Access the full spectrum of colors and effects in the Aura control panel to let your personality shine, and add your favorite Aura Sync devices to make a matching gaming environment all your own.
Connectivity SUSTAIN THE STRONGEST WI-FI SIGNAL ROG RangeBoost technology ensures the most stable Wi-Fi signal possible. The unique RangeBoost algorithm evaluates the signal strength of four internal antennas and picks the best pair to use for your location, minimizing dead spots and increasing wireless range by up to 30%. Paired with the latest Intel® 802.11ac (2x2) Gigabit Wi-Fi, which offers peak wireless bandwidth of up to 1.7Gbps, you can connect and game at speed almost anywhere. * Specifications vary by model.
