It’s been awhile (or a long while, in the case of the ARES CG6155) since we’ve heard about these machines, but ASUS has at long last decided to start shipping ‘em to retailers. The aforesaid gaming desktop still doesn’t have a publicly available price tag, but ASUS assures us that it’s out there now for those who know where to look. Thankfully, it was a bit (and we stress “bit”) more forthcoming with details on the G50 and G71 gaming notebooks, which are also available as we speak for $1,249.99 and take-your-best-guess, respectively.
