CES 2020
ASUS ROG announces eSports-ready Strix gaming desktops
All juiced up and battle ready for professional gamers
The ROG Experience continues to roll on during CES 202o! This time, ASUS Republic of Gamers are proud to announce the arrival of two new gaming desktops that bring the power. They’ve dubbed these as their eSports-ready desktops, perfect for the professional gamer.
Meet the ASUS ROG Strix GA35 and ROG Strix GT35, their latest gaming desktops built for the best. These powerful machines bring the latest CPUs and GPUs for a much smoother gameplay during intense moments. The ROG Strix GA35 will have the latest 16-core AMD Ryzen 9 3950X processor, while the ROG Strix GT35 will come with a 10th generation Intel processor. Both of these, however come with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080Ti — providing massive gaming power, especially for AAA games.
These desktops come in what ROG dubs as “tournament-ready” form factors, complete with two hot-swap drive bays on the front. These hot-swap bays instant give you access to your main hard drives, allowing you to add or remove them with ease. Inside, ASUS ROG already provides you with its own ROG Strix X570-F Gaming motherboard fit for the powerful processors. Also, the motherboard supports up to 64GB of RAM for maximum performance and up to 1TB of SSD storage for all your data.
All that hardware is conveniently cooled within its carefully designed chassis. ROG created a Wind Shear design that features widened air vents that help draw more air. The air flows through three internal chambers divided across the CPU, GPU, and power supply to minimize thermal interference. This implies that with a cooling system like this, air flows efficiently within the machine and effectively maximizes each component.
Pricing and availability for both the ROG Strix GA35 and ROG Strix GT35 have yet to be announced.

Startup Lora DiCarlo graced the headlines last year for having its award revoked by the committee behind the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The startup believes it was unjust and fought for its right to be part of the annual show.
This year, Lora DiCarlo is the talk of the town once again, not because of an issue, but for being in the spotlight of CES 2020. Lora DiCarlo paved the way for sex tech to be out in the open, particularly companies with devices geared for women’s sex, health, and wellness.
Sex tech isn’t new, but sex being taboo in this modern yet surprisingly conservative society took the spotlight away from their devices. In case you’re wondering, sex technology mostly ventures on innovations to enhance our sexuality and sexual experience.
Breaking barriers
In 2017, men enjoyed VR porn as if it was that revolutionary, while sex toys and vibrators that offer solutions to enhance our experiences and relationships aren’t getting the splash they deserve. Thankfully, CES 2020 is taking a step forward in ending sexism and encourage sex-positivity. After all, sex is part of human nature.
Ever since Lora Haddock DiCarlo — the founder of Lora DiCarlo — fought for their right to be at CES, I was astounded and followed her journey. I’m all ears for women speaking up, especially with the goal of making a change in our society.
Now that DiCarlo and her company sparked a controversy, sex tech are now in the spotlight of the annual show held at Las Vegas. DiCarlo didn’t expect herself to be at the forefront of change, but it elevated her profile and grew her business.
Pleasure is at the forefront
At CES 2020, Lora DiCarlo showcased their first device once again — the Osé — is a personal massager which produces blended orgasm by mimicking movements of a human partner. It’s that revolutionary, hence, gaining an innovation award. I mean, just imagine a device pleasuring you the way a human partner does — It’s astonishing!
Additionally, Lora DiCarlo unveiled two more devices: Baci and Onda. Baci is a micro-robotic device which stimulates the feel and motion of human lips and tongue, while Onda mimics the motion of human fingers. Even though it’s meant for women, I can’t wait to actually try one!
More sex technology to solve our needs
DiCarlo’s fight enabled other companies and devices to get noticed and join the spotlight. Satisfyer showed-off Satisyfer Connect, an app that can be used remotely with a long-distance partner. Lioness delivered its second-generation vibrator tracking data to improve orgasms.
Furthermore, Womanizer exhibited their products and Pleasure Air Technology — a combination of suction and pressure waves — which brings a mindblowing, orgasmic experience. While all of these talk about pleasure, Morari introduced a “band-aid” that withholds pleasure, solving the premature ejaculation issue prevalent with men.
2020 might just be the beginning, but CES showcasing sex technology is a huge step forward in encouraging a sex-positive society. If you’re still iffy about this technology, remember that you’re not the target audience and that you were born because your parents had sex.
