Next Product Ideas

[ChrisLuna]

Dear ASUS,

            I have pretty good suggestions on your next products, and I hope this thread will reach higher-ups and at least give these suggestions some thought. I noticed the stocks of ASUS was down, and as an ASUS long-time fan, I got worried. For me, these are banger ideas that I think ASUS shouldn't miss.... Admittedly, I think it's much better for higher-ups to discuss before committing to my ideas as they know the market better than I do. 

Suggestion 1:

Focus Mainly on Windows Gaming Tablets on the Upcoming Years. 

A. Super Mobile

        Yes, the concept of windows tablets isn't new, but ASUS paved the way for Windows Gaming tablets. What if I tell you that it is very important for us architects and engineers to bring it along with us that run CAD and 3D programs with us and even if we are still students, (I'm still a student by the way) but minus the weight and bulkiness of a gaming laptop. 

B. Super Portable Gaming and CAD and 3D Productivity Makes Sense 

      I personally have an ASUS ROG Strix G16 2023, and majority of my classmates have ASUS TUF laptops. Our armchairs are our main way of performing tasks on the go, what if it's on a small package like the ROG Flow? I personally hope lots of resources come to its manifestation. We can game and do CAD and 3D tasks on the car, on study spaces where laptops may be too bulky, and any space that have limited space. This would be a HUGE PLUS for architects and engineers if the devices come packaged with CAD and 3D softwares like AutoCAD, Rhino, Sketchup.

C. Virtual Project Using the Windows Tablet's Camera

        What if there is a partnership made with CAD and 3D softwares with technologies of the ROG Flow that visualize the project in real time using technologies of ROG Flow's lightweight design and with camera? I think this will be a huge help on the architecture and engineering industry.

My Thoughts: 

        I feel like the market doesn't have an idea on Windows tablets, hence they may not appreciate it, but go for whatever product that they have access to and are available... Which is why I think advertising and AFFORDABILITY AND AVAILABILITY SHOULD BE A STAPLE for ASUS products on the coming years, and so on if ASUS will wish to attain market domination.

        A huge part of this suggestion is that I think ASUS is on a point where they have super thin high performance devices like the ROG Zephyrus and ROG Flow. Why stop there? 

       Disclaimer: I know it's a risky move, which is why I hope higher ups at ASUS think about that decision, as it may be risky. 

Suggestion 2:

         Have Dedicated Gaming Stream or Entire Screen Streams from our ASUS devices like ASUS PC's and ASUS gaming laptops to our phones.

        A huge reason as to why I don't bring my laptop with me on college is that it is too expensive to be stolen away on commute and long walks. This gave me the idea that I hope there is a technology where I can use my laptop remotely. I can do my Word tasks, create presentations, do everything PC can do on my phone. (via livestream from PC to phone) My ROG Strix does the rendering and tasks, well.... just stream whatever is on the ROG Strix, and my device (wherever I may be in the world) will receive the stream from PC to phone. This would be a huge win for me as I can do heavy tasks like CAD and 3D programs on my phone while ON A REALLY SMALL PACKAGE. (just my phone and my PC will stream) imagine having AAA games while on my phone, and imagine doing things only PC can do.... even if it's just live stream PC at home while I'm at college using my phone, receiving stream. 

My thoughts: 

        The technology is there on other apps, like Steam and Windows Remote Desktop, and I thought ASUS has Armory Crate... what is stopping ASUS from committing to a PC to phone connection? 

My phone can control via:

- mouse and keyboard, and third party ones as well....

- controller

- dedicated screen controls

         I do have to state that I have been a long time ASUS fan, and I would be honored if my statements here contribute to ASUS as a whole, and I'm honored if ASUS does give attention to my statements.

Further suggestion:

After research, I've seen that Steam has had the idea for quite a long time to convert x86 architecture to ARM architecture. I suggest ASUS will also have plans for this, as super mobile gaming would be a huge win. Sure, the ROG Xbox Ally exists, but this was after Steam had seen the capabilities of Apple's M1 chips that they could add PC games to Android/iOS. Imagine where it's not only games, but also the entire Windows, and Linux systems and their apps. I could run Word, Presentation, SketchUp, AutoCAD on my mobile device. If ASUS does go along this route, I hope they do it in partnership with Steam for seamless additions to future android releases. This is also in part of the reason for the people who value their Steam libraries and the progress they saved on Steam cloud and their servers.  In short, I hope ASUS also does collaboration with Steam not only for PC games to ARM architecture for games on-the-go for mobile devices, but also run Windows, Linux, etc. for mobile devices where we can open x86 apps seamlessly for Android. I firmly believe this would be a huge move for ASUS. (Though the board for ASUS should think about this critically too, as I know they know better than I do, after all, this is just a suggestion)

Steam has long explored converting x86 software to ARM, and ASUS could take this further for true mobile computing. With ARM power, users could run Windows and Linux apps just like a bmi calculator app   directly on mobile devices. A future ASUS–Steam partnership could enable seamless access to x86 apps, saved Steam libraries, and cloud progress on the go, making it a major step forward for mobile productivity and gaming.
