The brand develops many different devices, essentially all related to computers and also does some work as an Original Equipment Manufacturer.

ROG and TUF

ROG stands for Republic Of Gamers and TUF stands for The Ultimate Force. These are the labels for the Asus gaming laptop lines. The TUF line has a slight budget advantage, but then it does have a difference in cooling, build quality and the screen. That makes it slightly less durable in performance compared to the ROG line, as the ROG line is made with a better grade of motherboard; laying a great foundation. Still, if one is a newer gamer getting something that is costing a little less may be smart which is where TUF comes in.

The ROG line has two sub-lines of its own, Strix and Zephyrus. These are both high-end laptops but the Zephyrus is the highest tier. The Strix line is slim, but the Zephyrus is even sleeker.
