ASUS’ AUD$7,999 liquid-cooled gaming notebook available locally from mid-March

ASUS will bring its liquid-cooled ROG GX700 gaming notebook to Australia from mid-March at an asking price of AUD$7,999. While eight grand might seem like a lot for any computer, ASUS is hoping that a desktop-grade graphics processor and liquid-cooling will be enough to get hardcore gamers to part with their hard-earned cash.

The ASUS ROG GX700 is actually made up of two parts: a 17.3-inch notebook, and a dock that enables the machine's liquid-cooling. Gamers are able to use the notebook without the dock, but the dock (pictured below) allows the ROG GX700's CPU and GPU to run at their full potential (without starting any fires).
