This year’s theme was all about empowering users with smarter, faster, and more sustainable tech. Asus revealed sweeping updates across its product families, with a strong focus on AI-readiness, system optimization, and repairable design.
- New AI-ready motherboards and graphics cards: ASUS introduced motherboards equipped with dedicated AI acceleration modules, designed to work hand-in-hand with next-gen GPUs for real-time workload optimization.

- ROG Ally X updates: Asus showcased firmware enhancements and hinted at upcoming accessories tailored to extend the performance and longevity of its flagship handheld console.
- ROG Bulwark Dock: A 7-in-1 USB-C docking station designed for the ROG Ally and other handhelds. With 100W charging, 4K HDMI 2.1 support, Ethernet, and RGB lighting, it’s built for serious gaming setups. The flip-cover stand and anti-slip base make it perfect for on-the-go or desk-bound play.
- Eco-forward design philosophy: The company doubled down on its commitment to sustainability, featuring chassis materials made from recycled aluminum and packaging improvements that reduce waste.
As ASUS Co-CEO S.Y. Hsu put it during the press event: “We are building an open and comprehensive AI ecosystem that delivers meaningful value to every kind of user—from creators to gamers to IT pros.”
The Bulwark Dock, which doubles as a protective cover when traveling, is specifically designed to complement the ROG Ally X.
Impacts on repairability
