The laptop will be available on a per-request basis. The company also launched the ROG Strix GL502 laptop starting from Rs 1,27,990.

The Asus ROG GX700, which comes packed in a suitcase boasts its own detachable ROG-exclusive Hydro Overclocking System cooling module.

It is capable of supporting 64GB of RAM and in terms of storage it houses a 512GB SSD RAM.

Being a top drawer gaming laptop, it comes with the Nvidia Geforce GTX 980 graphics card (with 8GB RAM) and a 17-inch 4K UHD display which supports Nvidia G-Sync for smoother visuals. According to Asus, the Hydro Overclocking System allows overclocking of the CPU up to 40 per cent and the 64GB DDR4 memory can be overclocked up to 43 per cent.

The GX700 comes with a liquid cooling dock based on a custom self-sealing valve design, dual 92mm radiators and a pump. It also has traditional cooling which could be run without the liquid cooling dock.

With continued focus in the segment, we are aiming to achieve 50 per cent share of it by the next year. In gaming desktops segment, we are the major player."
