Itâs good to be Nyjah Huston
Thatâs just the start, of course. The laptop lid is the obvious recipient of some weird design love, with a concrete-like finish, raised textures and a custom RGB slash, along with a couple of Nyjah Hustonâs inscriptions: âUntil deathâ, and âMind over matterâ. According to Asus, âHis motto, âTil Death,â is all about his desire to brave obstacles and keep skateboarding for as long as he can. His attitude, âMind over Matter,â pushes him to overcome challenges in the pursuit of perfection.â
Thereâs UV lighting in the lid that reveals accents you wouldnât see otherwise, and a modified version of the Strix SCAR seriesâ modular Armor Cap along the rear edge. A few translucent panels let you see the machineâs internals and the keyboard and the whole inner panel has been tweaked. The mechanical keyboard uses a custom font and the whole design pulls inspiration from skating injuries, X-rays, scars and the concept of rebirth.
Also included are a matching custom ROG Strix Impact II mouse, a desk mat and a dual-mode UV torch that can be used to view the easter eggs Asus built into its hardware. Plus, you know, the actual hardware. One of Asusâ 360Hz displays, Nvidia RTX 3000-series GPUs and processing power courtesy of AMDâs Ryzen 5000 range handle mundane things like how this skate-themed gaming setup actually works. Sadly, you canât actually buy this one but designing it has allowed Asus to ââŠexplore new ways to push the envelope of gaming laptop design. Those explorations set the stage for future innovations.â
