Abstract: The Asus ROG GR8 is a small-factor gaming PC that looks set to get a Steam Machine version in the future, but by taking a page from Alienware's book, Asus has launched it without a console-style UI to try and sway you to grab this tiny little gaming wonde...

Small form factor, Smart styling, Impressively quiet, Core i7 is only dual core but manages the job nicely, GTX 750Ti graphics
The form factor makes it impractical to locate the GR8 under your TV, Your teenager is still going to want either an Xbox or a PlayStation.
Asus is trying something bold and new with its Republic Of Gamers (ROG) GR8 which is a Gaming Console PC. That may sound like a contradiction in terms and it certainly requires a word of explanation. Asus has taken the innards of a Core i7 laptop and hous...
When I heard that Asus was making a small gaming “Console” as they put it I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. I am always on the hunt for better options for LANrigs. The GR8 fits that bill perfectly. You have a small form factor that is a third of...
Too pricey to be a console and too underpowered to be a proper gaming PC, Limited upgradeability, Disappointing to see a hard drive instead of an SSD
Not quite a Steam Machine, though you'll be forgiven if you mistake it for one, the Asus RoG GR8 will let you do some moderate PC gaming in a form factor that looks more like a console than a gaming rig. But can it live up to the GR8ness in its name? Rea...
Abstract: The GR8 features a more powerful processor than most – a dual core Intel Core i7 4510U that runs up to 3.1GHz but has a low 15W TDP. It also has a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750Ti with 2GB of RAM. You don't get a HDD or any RAM, but the GR8 can handle up to 16GB...
It's sleek and sexy, but don't be fooled by the 4K marketing claims. The GR8 will play last gen's games well enough at 1080p resolutions but struggles at anything higher. It's a bit of a confused system, too. Though it's Inspired by consoles, it comes bun...

The GR8 is good system with balanced aspects. It should be able to play most titles at Full HD BUT with some tweaks on the graphic settings. CPU intensive games like Grand Theft Auto V will definitely put a load on a mobile CPU. ASUS has kept the specific...
The graphics are not futureproof, No customisation options for CPU and
All in all, the ASUS GR8 is a powerful gaming device and it would be a good choice for gamers who wants to bring a portable rig on LAN parties or just move the device through different rooms. Price-wise, it is also in a comfortable zone whereby mid to hi...

the GR8 is a neat gaming PC in a small package. It surpasses the performance from current generation game consoles but it still lacks the convenience of a console for quick access on games and when used on a living room, if only the bundled peripherals...
Attractive design, Compact form factor, Decent performance, Gaming keyboard and mouse included
Limited upgradability, Pricey compared to custom-built PCs
The ASUS ROG GR8 is a powerful gaming machine in a portable yet good-looking package. It's good for those who want a gaming rig that is quiet, doesn't take up much space and can be easily moved around. It's ideal in small offices, bedroom, and the living...
