Asus' latest notebooks are getting "maxed out," and the Strix gaming notebook lineup will feature Intel's latest 13th generation processors, AMD Zen 4 CPUs, and Nvidia's 40 series mobile GPUs. Along with these next-generation upgrades, the Strix series will include a large number of gaming optimization features, along with its updated sister series.
