Intel Core i9-9980HK (16MB Cache, 2.4GHz), 64GB DDR4-SDRAM, 1536GB SSD, 43.9 cm (17.3") Full HD 1920 x 1080 IPS Touch, Intel UHD Graphics 630, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 (8GB GDDR6), LAN, WLAN, Bluetooth, Webcam, Windows 10 Pro
Laptops limit cooling and lock you into a fixed position that’s needlessly rigid for desktop replacements, so we’ve reimagined the form factor to raise your game. ROG Mothership is a portable Windows 10 Pro powerhouse with an innovative standing design that enhances cooling for its factory overclocked GeForce RTX™ 2080 GPU and 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i9 CPU. Take full control with its detachable keyboard and experience smooth visuals without blurring or tearing on its NVIDIA G-SYNC™ display with a 144Hz refresh rate and 3ms response time. SSD RAID storage and 2.5G Ethernet bring ultra-fast performance to every part of this revolutionary gaming machine.

RETHINK THE FORM FACTOR
Each aluminum unibody is milled to perfection with a precise CNC machining process. The chassis stands tall to improve airflow and cooling, enabling a slimmer and more portable design. It leans back on a stepless hinge to suit any setting and separates from the keyboard for additional versatility. Detach and reposition the keyboard for your ideal gaming stance, or replace it with your favorite desktop peripherals. ROG Mothership can deploy on the road or power a full battlestation at home.
STAND TALL TO BREATHE DEEPER
Laptops have limited airflow because most intake is through vents under the chassis, where there’s little room to breathe, but ROG Mothership’s unique design inhales cool air unrestricted from the back. The self-cleaning cooling system propels air through quad outlets lined with ultra-thin fins, while an intricate network of eight heatpipes distributes the thermal load for critical internal components.
TAKE THE LATEST HARDWARE TO THE NEXT LEVEL
ROG Mothership raises the bar with a factory overclocked GPU and CPU that are unlocked for further tuning. The GeForce RTX™ 2080 sets a new standard for laptop gaming and VR performance, while the 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i9 CPU unleashes six cores and 12 threads on heavy workloads. They’re paired with up to three NVMe SSDs in RAID 0, with two drives connected to the CPU to reach an insane 8700MB/s.
ULTRAFAST 144HZ/3MS NVIDIA® G‑SYNC™ DISPLAY
Immerse yourself in gorgeous graphics on the 17.3” IPS-level display. The Full HD panel's 144Hz refresh rate and 3ms response time are tailored for fast-paced games, while G-SYNC™ technology delivers smoother gameplay with lower input lag and no tearing. ROG-exclusive software lets you switch between modes that offer the best gaming experience with G-SYNC or longer battery life with Optimus, so you can choose the right one to suit the situation.
TURN UP THE HI-RES AUDIO
Redesigning the form factor lets us arrange four speakers along the front edge to fire high-quality sound directly at you. ROG Mothership’s audio is powered by a premium ESS® Sabre HiFi DAC with Hi-Res Audio certification. Smart amplification lets you pump up the volume without damaging the speakers, while virtualization simulates surround sound for stereo devices like headphones and VR headsets.
STAY CONNECTED AT WARP SPEED
Free yourself from gigabit bottlenecks. ROG Mothership amps up networking with 2.5G Ethernet that lifts your LAN to the next level. Next-gen Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX200(802.11ax) surpasses gigabit speeds and offers higher efficiency and performance on busy networks. Patented ROG RangeBoost tech moves the signal between pairs of antennas to maximize signal strength and reduce connection drops that hurt your game.
HAVE THE KEYBOARD YOUR WAY
Gaming desktops let you set the keyboard at just the right angle, and ROG Mothership offers the same freedom. Its keyboard easily pulls away from magnetic anchors and can run wirelessly on 2.4GHz or tethered via USB Type-C. Fast-firing switches put a familiar desktop layout at your fingertips. Personalize the per-key RGB backlighting for different games and load profiles automatically with Armoury Crate.
*Per-key lighting for F1-F12 on shortcut icon only.
UNIFIED SYSTEM TUNING AND PERSONALIZATION
ROG Armoury Crate unifies system and lighting control in a single powerful utility. Use it to monitor vitals, tweak the cooling, and overclock ROG Mothership even further. Easily change settings for four game profiles that automatically make adjustments when you launch your favorite titles. These options are just the beginning for what will become an even more versatile tool.
