Asus ROG Magic X Overview:

Design and Display

The ROG Magic X is a thin 2-in-1 notebook that comes with a detachable keyboard. As a result, it can be used on a laptop as well as a Windows tablet. The device weighs 1.2 kg, measures 12mm thick, and has a built-in stand that can be adjusted up to 170 degrees.

Over on the front, it flaunts a 13.4-inch touchscreen with 1920 x 1200 pixels resolution, Corning Gorilla Glass protection, and a 120Hz refresh rate. Likewise, it features a 16:10 aspect ratio with Adaptive-sync technology, Dolby Vision HDR, 500nits brightness, and Pantone color certification.

In terms of performance, you can choose the ROG Magic X in three different configurations—Intel Core i5-12500H, Core i7-12700H, or Core i9-12900H. The latter two are paired with GeForce RTX 3050 and 3050Ti graphics cards, respectively.
