Play Without Limits: the ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) GR8

Compact and powerful, the ROG GR8 blends console size with gaming PC specs. With has a chassis with a volume of only 2.5 liters, and running on an Intel Core-i7 processor and an Nvidia GTX 750Ti graphics card, the ROG GR8 is more than adequate to run the latest games in high detail and at 1080p resolution. It also incorporates ROG gaming features such as the Sonic Radar II, GameFirst III, and Sonic Studio.

The ROG GR8 comes with an ASUS M801 mechanical keyboard and an ROG Gladius mouse and is available at PC Express, Villman, Thinking Tools Cebu for SRP PhP 57,990.
