Asus has also done more fine-tuning when compared to the predecessor model. Read our review to learn whether or not this is enough to survive in the increasingly competitive market.

Somebody obviously copy-pasted the specs over from ROGP2, because ROGP3 doesn't have the 3.5mm socket...which leads me to be skeptical about the claim of one of the C ports being USB 2.0, AFAIK both are 3.1 in terms of data but one charges slower...not entirely sure though.

The 3.5mm audio jack is part of the fan module.  ;)

And the USB specs are absolutely sure right.

It seems to deviate from convention that something on an accessory would be included in the specs, I've never seen anything with a bundled dongle list what the dongle supports in the specs.

Amazing article! Everything you need to know and more. Will look at your articles before buying phones from now on!

Just to make sure because you didn't talk about i specifically: is the chipset the only difference between the standard and the Strix edition?
