Everything Exciting Asus Announced at CES 2026: AR Glasses, Dual Screen Laptop & More

The Consumer Electronics Show, or as we like to call it, CES, is the first major event of the year, and it’s where all brands come to flex their muscles and showcase what they’ve cooked up for the new year. While the show is set to run until January 9, Asus has already announced a ton of new products and lineups that are super interesting. There’s the new Zenbook A16 laptop that features a 16-inch display, the Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme chip, and is lighter than a 13-inch MacBook Air. On the other hand, there are the even more powerful Zephyrus and Strix series laptops, the all-new ROG XREAL R1 gaming glasses, and next-gen QD-OLED and tandem OLED gaming monitors. Here’s everything exciting Asus announced at CES 2026.

Asus Zenbook A16

Asus’s Zenbook lineup, if you aren’t familiar, is at the top of the cream of the UltraBook segment, where the company goes all in on features for business professionals and digital nomads. The Zenbook A16 is a new addition to this lineup, and it packs a big punch. For starters, you get a 16-inch 3K (2880 x 1800) OLED 16:10 display that runs at 120Hz and peaks at 500 nits. The panel covers 90% of the available space, making the laptop look sleek.

Speaking of design, Asus has gone with a new beige-ish color that’s pretty contemporary. Under the hood lies Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme chip, which the company says carries some major improvements. We’ve tested Snapdragon-powered laptops before, and they’ve been super snappy. As mentioned, the whole laptop weighs just 1.2 kg, which is less than an entry-level MacBook. Beyond that, the battery life should be good for more than 21 hours.

New QD-OLED and Tandem OLED Monitors

Making gorgeous monitors has kind of been Asus’s thing for quite some time. To continue this, the company introduced a range of next-gen monitors at this year’s CES. First up is the Swift OLED PG34WCDN, which is the first RGB OLED gaming monitor, featuring a 34-inch 1800R WQHD (3440 × 1440) QD-OLED panel with a 360Hz refresh rate and a 0.03ms response time.

Along with it, Asus also introduced a new ROG Swift OLED PG27UCWM monitor. It’s a 26-inch Tandem RGB Stripe OLED panel that’s 4K and refreshes at 240Hz, with a 0.03ms response time. The party trick of the Swift OLED monitor is that you can switch the refresh rate to an eye-watering 480Hz in Full HD mode.

Asus ROG XREAL R1 AR Gaming Glasses

While gaming on a desktop is pretty fun, there must be times when you might want to lean back on a sofa, grab a controller, and play games in the most comfortable position. That’s exactly the problem the ROG XREAL R1 AR gaming glasses will solve. These glasses are the world’s first to feature 240Hz micro-OLED FHD (1920 × 1080) displays for each eye, providing a 171-inch virtual screen from 4 meters away with a 57-degree field of view.

To keep distractions to a minimum, the glasses feature electrochromatic lenses that automatically dim in brighter environments. The glasses are designed to work especially well with the ROG Ally, allowing users to turn any place into a gaming setup.

New ROG Laptops

We’ve tested plenty of Asus’s G-series gaming laptops in the past, and the last-gen G14 was the best portable gaming laptop of 2025. At CES 2026, Asus announced the next-gen refresh of the G14, complete with a 14-inch 3K ROG HDR OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 16:10 aspect ratio, and up to 1100 nits of peak brightness. The laptop will run on the latest Intel Core Ultra processor, coupled with the GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU. Powering all these components will be a 73Wh battery.

While Zephyrus G16 features the same 12.5K ROG Nebula HDR OLED display with a 16:10 aspect ratio and 1100 nits brightness, it ups the refresh rate to 240Hz. The laptop will also carry next-gen Intel chips and can be configured with a GeForce RTX 5090 laptop GPU. Despite the memory shortages, both laptops will house up to  64GB of dual-channel LPDDR5X-8533 RAM and 2TB of internal storage.

However, the device that caught everyone’s eye at CES was the Zephyrus Duo. For those unfamiliar, the Duo is a laptop with two screens instead of a keyboard deck that connect magnetically. The Zephyrus Duo will feature two identical 16-inch ROG Nebula HDR OLED panels with a 120Hz refresh rate. The next-gen Panther Lake Intel processor will handle the power, and the laptop will also support the RTX 5090 laptop GPU. Prices are still under wraps, but the Duo will launch in Q2 of 2026.
