Following a massive R100k campaign finale, ASUS kicks off Q2 2026 with an innovative weekly “Bounty Campaign” providing young creative professionals with major cash prizes, global billboard exposure, and corporate recognition.

Johannesburg, South Africa, 3^rd June 2026- ASUS today officially announced the expansion of its revolutionary creative ecosystem, the ASUS ProArt Create League. Designed specifically to empower and elevate the next generation of digital artists, filmmakers, animators, and designers, the initiative has officially transitioned into its highly anticipated second phase for Q2 2026, introducing a rapid-fire dynamic known as the “Bounty Campaign.”

The ProArt Create League has already established itself as a premier destination for top-tier creative talent. In the opening months of 2026, the league’s foundational campaign concluded with massive success, awarding a single grand prize winner over R100,000 worth of premium hardware, software, and career-accelerating prizes. But as ASUS clarifies, that milestone was only the opening act.

Recognizing that thousands of young professionals and talented up-and-comers struggle to get their portfolios in front of decision-makers, ASUS is shifting its focus to continuous, hyper-accessible validation. The newly introduced Q2 Bounty Campaign turns the traditional, drawn-out competition structure on its head by delivering immediate, weekly professional incentives.

A message from the ASUS Team,“We don’t want creators to wait months for a single chance at recognition. The ProArt Create League is built to be a living, breathing launchpad. If you have the drive and the vision, ASUS has the platform, the hardware, and the spotlight ready for you right now.”

Every single week, a fresh creative prompt or “Bounty” will go live on the official ASUS ProArt website. Digital creators are invited to submit their best work responding to the brief. The benefits of participating stretch far beyond conventional competitions:

• Weekly Bounties & Financial Rewards: Multiple winners will be selected every seven days to receive immediate cash prizes, and creative assets to fuel their studio spaces.
• High-Impact Billboard Exposure: Selected winning artwork will move from digital portfolios straight to physical and digital billboards across major metropolitan areas, granting creators unparalleled public recognition.
• Global Brand Integration: Winning creators will have their profiles featured prominently on the global ASUS website, social channels, and media partner networks, validating them to potential international clients.

The campaign provides the perfect synchronization of top-of-the-line ecosystem support leveraging ASUS ProArt’s industry-standard color-accurate displays, immense processing laptops, and workstation components with raw, unvarnished human talent. For young professionals trying to break through an incredibly competitive digital landscape, this offers a direct line to corporate backing and household-name visibility.

The message from ASUS to the global creative community is clear: ASUS has just begun. So, what are you creators waiting for?

This all-new Android 16 tablet is designed to elevate everyday digital experiences through premium display technology, refined portability, and intelligent connectivity.

Combining a best-in-class dual-layer OLED 12.2-inch display with a 523g-light, 6.5mm ultra-slim chassis, ASUS Pad balances immersive entertainment capabilities with practical mobility. Its MediaTek Dimensity 8300 chipset enables a wide range of use scenarios — from high-quality video streaming and casual gaming to reading, note-taking, and cross-device productivity.

By focusing on visual comfort, sustained performance, and seamless integration with other devices, ASUS Pad reflects a broader shift toward tablets that serve as versatile, always-within-reach companions rather than single-purpose screens.

ASUS Pad (T3201M5A)

Immersive entertainment

ASUS Pad (T3201) is built around a 12.2-inch 2.8K dual-layer OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate for optimum visual quality. The high-resolution panel delivers sharp detail and fluid motion across streaming content, gaming, and reading.

The dual-layer OLED architecture stacks two OLED emission layers to achieve improved power efficiency and extended panel life compared to traditional single-layer OLED panels. This structure also contributes to superior brightness and color consistency, reinforcing the device’s suitability for extended viewing sessions.

ASUS Pad pairs its display with a quad-speaker Dolby Atmos® sound system, creating an immersive 360° audio environment that complements on-screen action with multidimensional sound. Dialogue clarity, spatial effects, and low-frequency depth are enhanced for a more cinematic tablet experience.

Eye comfort is also a priority. TÜV Rheinland certification underscores reduced blue light and flicker-free performance, supporting fatigue-free reading, browsing, and video consumption. Combined with a 92% screen-to-body ratio, ASUS Pad excels as an entertainment-focused device.

Ultraportable, lightweight design

ASUS Pad (T3201) emphasizes mobility through an ultra-slim 6.5mm profile and a lightweight 523g chassis. The thin form factor allows the device to slip easily into bags, while the light weight supports prolonged handheld use for reading, streaming, and note-taking.

The tablet is constructed using a lightweight magnalium chassis with a fiberglass back cover that balances portability with structural durability. This material enables a rigid frame without adding excess mass, supporting everyday transport across home, office, campus, and travel environments.

The compact physical design helps make ASUS Pad an everyday companion device. Rather than being limited to desk-based use, it’s engineered for ‘carry-anywhere’ use, involving frequent movement and quick transitions between use scenarios — from media consumption on the couch to quick productivity tasks while traveling.

Powerful performance and long battery life

ASUS Pad (T3201) is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8300 chipset, fabricated using a 4nm process. The platform is designed to balance strong performance with power efficiency, supporting responsive multitasking, smooth UI interactions, and stable performance across media, gaming, and productivity applications.

Support for WiFi 6E enhances wireless performance for smoother streaming, faster downloads, and improved responsiveness in cloud-based apps and online games.

A 9000mAh high-capacity battery underpins the device’s endurance. ASUS Pad is designed to sustain long usage periods across mixed workloads such as web browsing, video streaming, and app use. Fast charging via 45W USB-C® helps minimize downtime, with up to 50% charge achievable in approximately 30 minutes¹. The combination of power-efficient silicon and a large battery capacity supports extended daily use with fewer charging interruptions.

Intelligent and connected user experience

These capabilities are designed to streamline learning, content sharing, and multitasking across device ecosystems.

Circle to Search with Google adds contextual search functionality, enabling information lookup directly from on-screen content without requiring app switching². Google Gemini features contribute AI-powered assistance, supporting more efficient task handling and information access.

Convenience features further enhance usability. Face Login provides quick, hands-free device access³, while microSD card expansion allows flexible storage growth for media and project files.

Accessory compatibility expands the tablet’s role. Support for ASUS Pen 2.0 enables handwriting, sketching, and precise creative input, while Bluetooth® keyboard support allows a more traditional typing setup⁴.

Gaming laptop with classic TUF Gaming styling and high-powered performance delivers incredible value for gamers everywhere

• Esports-ready gaming performance: Up to Intel® Core™ i7 14650HX CPU and up to GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU drive all types of gaming experiences
• Quiet and efficient cooling: Dual noise-optimized 80-blade fans limit noise to just 40dB in Turbo Mode
• Classic TUF styling: Tasteful all-black finish and anti-fingerprint coating gives the TUF Gaming 16 a sophisticated look and feel
• Ergonomic I/O layout: Larger I/O ports are located on the rear of the chassis for easier mousing

TAIPEI, Taiwan, June 2, 2026 – ASUS is proud to announce the launch of the 2026 TUF Gaming 16 gaming laptop. This brand-new addition to the TUF Gaming lineup delivers exceptional gaming performance, featuring up to an Intel® Core™ i7 14650HX processor and up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU. The cooling system limits the fan noise to just 40dB in Turbo Mode, letting gamers play without distractions even during extended sessions. The TUF Gaming 16 sports classic TUF styling, with an all-black finish and anti-fingerprint coating. Practical I/O placement at the rear of the machine improves ergonomics and keeps peripheral cables away from the mousing hand of both left and right-handed gamers.

Esports-ready gaming performance

The TUF Gaming 16 features up to an Intel Core i7 14650HX processor, with eight Performance-cores, eight Efficient-cores, and a maximum boost clock of 5.2GHz. Able to easily run the latest games and applications, this processor has the power to drive incredible experiences today and well into the future.

The TUF Gaming 16 also sports up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU with a maximum TGP of 85W, striking the perfect balance between performance and power efficiency. This GPU fully supports real-time ray tracing, and DLSS 4 upscaling technology with Multi-Frame Generation, allowing the TUF Gaming 16 to deliver smooth performance across every game.

The TUF Gaming 16 features dual SSD and RAM slots, both of which are fully user upgradeable. From the factory, this machine comes with up to 2TB of high-speed PCIe® 4.0 storage and up to 64GB of DDR5 memory, but gamers can easily access both when they want to make system upgrades in the future.

Quiet and efficient cooling

The TUF Gaming 16 uses an efficient network of 3 heat pipes paired with dual 80-blade fans to cool itself during operation. These fans keep noise under 40dB when under full load in Turbo Mode (with even quieter operation in the out-of-the-box Performance mode), giving gamers an exceptionally quiet experience during extended play sessions. The cooling system routes some of the air across the motherboard itself, cooling down critical surface-mounted components. It also features dust filters, helping to keep the cooling system running smoothly for years to come.

Classic TUF styling

Adorned in all-black, the TUF Gaming 16 features classic TUF Gaming styling cues while offering a premium, tactile experience. A specialized anti-fingerprint coating helps keep the keyboard deck looking spectacular, with a tactile feeling that elevates the experience. A 180° display hinge allows gamers to easily find a comfortable viewing angle no matter their seating position, and like all TUF Gaming machines, the TUF Gaming 16 tested to MIL-STD-810H durability standards to ensure it can handle common drops, vibrations, and temperature changes.

Ergonomic I/O layout

The I/O on the TUF Gaming 16 has been thoughtfully designed, with the large RJ45 Ethernet, power supply, and HDMI® ports mounted to the rear of the machine. This reduces cable clutter that might interfere with the mousing hand, without sacrificing the connectivity gamers expect. Three USB Type-A ports and a USB Type-C® port with DisplayPort™ 2.1 and power delivery support allow gamers to easily connect all of their peripherals and secondary displays, with the option to charge on the go without bringing the native power supply.

Celebrating 20 years of ROG

The ROG XBOX Ally X20 is not just a high-powered handheld, it’s a true collector’s item. Featuring translucent black plastic for the chassis, it harkens back to a distinct era of gaming that veterans will remember fondly. This translucence also offers a peek under the hood to the high-performance cooling system and incredible handheld silicon from AMD, with just a hint of the gold-accented internal structure. Crafted exclusively for the 20th anniversary of the formation of ROG in 2006, this special edition ROG XBOX Ally X is sure to look incredible in any collection.

Premium hardware upgrades

For the first time ever, the ROG XBOX Ally X20 comes equipped with an OLED display. Now slightly larger at 7.4 inches for increased immersion and visibility, this Nebula HDR Display features a fast 120Hz refresh rate, FreeSync Premium Pro support, and 1,400 nits of peak brightness for incredible HDR performance. With a VESA® DisplayHDR™ 1000 rating, full Dolby Vision® support, and a 0.2ms response time, all content is fast, bright, and vivid. And with Corning® DXC glass and an anti-reflective coating that reduces glare by 65%, users will never have trouble locking in to their games.

OLED panels are more sensitive to heat than traditional LCD displays, so the thermal solution on the ROG XBOX Ally X20 has been redesigned to channel more airflow directly to the APU and help keep surface temperatures on the display as low as possible.

Inspired by iconic XBOX controller designs, the ROG XBOX Ally X20 features a Transforming D-Pad. In stock form, it’s designed with the standard four-way movement, but it can easily be converted to eight-way control that’s ideal for fighting games. The improved face buttons have also been adjusted, now sitting flush against the chassis to enable smooth and uninterrupted thumb sliding. On the rear of the handgrips, a rubberized coating gives enhanced comfort and control during extended play sessions.

The next‑gen ROG XBOX Ally X20 also levels up control with new TMR joystick technology, delivering pinpoint precision, smoother tracking, and longer‑lasting performance for serious play on the go. Designed to eliminate drift while enhancing responsiveness, these advanced sticks translate every micro‑movement exactly as intended. With more precision than Hall effect sensors, the ROG XBOX Ally X20 puts competitive control right at the gamer’s fingertips.

Combined with the incredible performance and efficiency of the AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme Processor — plus 24GB of high-speed LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB of PCIe® 4.0 NVMe storage — the ROG XBOX Ally X20 is ready for a large library of modern games. With the ROG XBOX Ally X20 players can even access Auto SR preview, designed to make games look sharper and play smoother. Previously reserved for Windows 11 Copilot+ PCs, Auto SR can efficiently upscale frames rendered at lower resolutions to deliver smooth gameplay on larger screens without losing sharpness, letting users dock their gameplay to the big screen without having to compromise FPS.
