The Asus Rog Mothership Is A Radically Redesigned Desktop Replacement

So what is the ASUS ROG Mothership? It’s essentially a notebook, except that it looks a lot more like a massive tablet. Instead of having all its internal components stored in the half with the keyboard, this one has everything squeezed right beneath the display.
